Hi Rhonda; I am very interested in your method. I know very little about the calculator. When I did my nut sales, I found it easier to just do it in my head. I have not heard of a receipt book. Is it with in the calculator? I am still overwelmed with the move and getting my old place ready for the market. Can we discuss this in maybe 2 weeks. sounds like it might be helpful. Please write or call if you do not hear from me. If anyone is going to National convention, I would like to have a breakfast or lunch get together. Can you help us out with this, Jonathan, please? I would love to meet a lot of you in person. It seams like we know each other from the list serve, but it is not quite the same as meeting someone in person. Looking forward to seeing you all at convention. I need a vacation and some hands on training! Hands on is the best way to learn.

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. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Mary Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 20:14:53 -0500 >Subject: [Braillenote] Suggestions needed >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.
