Forms facility.

[Bob Allen]

Thanks Derek.

I don't have many asset accounts or bank accounts but I do want to keep 
track of my income and expenses in different categories. I have four 
income categories and about 20 expense categories.

Maybe I shouldn't be using gnucash for this. I am very new to accounting 
in general and I am living in Thailand so I can't afford a good 
accountant or accounting package. GnuCash does seem to do everything I 
want, it's just cumbersome for data entry and I don't trust my staff to 
do it properly.

Regards, Bob.
