Rhonda, Desiree, etc.:
Thanks for the suggestions. I am using a BT. I will try adapting the
receipts database first. Actually, I also need to create a database for
real receipts anyway.
Laziness is its own reward - or punishment!

Hi Mary:
I can't remember if you are using a BT or a QT. Depending on how much
information you need to put in for a bank record, I used the "receit
book". I changed a field name, to make it fit my category. I kept the
date as it was, I kept the "to" field, but changed the "from" field,
because it's always from me. I changed that to an "amount" field, and
changed "amount" to "balance". Then, when you put things in the memory of
the calculator, and want to add the "balance", you can just press I with
Enter, and then, the letter C. This is if you are using a BT. I know you
said you wanted "easy", (grin), so if I messed up that plan, I apologize.
Let me know if I can help.
If you don't feel like creating a database, you could just make a bank
record on your card, but still do the calculating function. If you want,
I will send you a copy of my receit book to show you what I mean.

Hello list.
I know I could figure this out on my own, but I'm looking for
strategies to help me make the transition from my old Braille Lite to the
BN.
I used to use my BLT to keep up with my banking. I didn't do
anything all that fancy. I just kept a special file called Bank where I
wrote the amounts I paid out or depositedand then I added or subtracted
from a memory, usually A. If I thought that maybe I had a mistake, I
would use another memory to try and find the mistake. This fairly
low-tech method worked pretty well for me except when I had a severe crash
or cold boot, or when I just forgot to enter something.
Does anybody have a nice, fairly easy strategy for banking that
doesn't take a degree in computer science? Not sure which feature to use,
Keyword, the database, or what. I probably need to keep it fairly simple
or I'll just quit doing it.
Thanks in advance.
Unapologetically lazy.
