Wow
The Theos OS we had where I work went back to 1980 with the arrival of
01/01/2000
I never thought I'd hear about Theos OS again..

the Num column is not for Transfer accounts - it takes a cheque number
or a EFT or Bpay number
The account codes are quite optional, you just put the name of the
account in the transfer column.
I'm sure someone will fill us in on how to use Account Codes properly.
