Hi Derek,

Thanks for that.  Because I am not keen on administration, I tend to put
it off till the last minute, and that only quarterly.  So although I
have been using gc for 2 years now, I get rusty in the intervals.  Now
if I could force myself to adopt better habits ...

The other thing, of course (and maybe this should be included in the
help files), never try to do your accounts when weary!

Thanks for your kind and patient responses.
