Hmmmmmmmm - - - - now if I only knew my butt from a hole in the ground when it comes to programming - - - - well then I'd be doing something. Sadly - - - that's not presently in my skill set. Which is why I posted here. Talked to a friend - - - he had been managing a small services company. They invoice in one program and then do their accounting in another. Sounds like a possibility for errors - - - like your idea of something parked on top of or working with ledger. Anyone out there interested in creating something for invoicing? Please? Pretty please?? (LOL) TIA -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
