(LOL) More hidden gems to be found!! OK - - - that would work - - - - now to keep one's numbering consecutive. I will admit to populating my ledger file with say my most common transactions. So the power bill, the phone bill, the ISP bill and the like. This means that for 2022 there are some 6 bills already entered. Now when the actual information is entered there are changes - - - sometimes the date (sometimes that doesn't change - - - grin!), the amount and the payee. Then there are the times I find an invoice in the wrong place - - - so it was paid in say April and I find it in October and then its time to enter the information. It might be challenging to maintain a consecutive numbering scheme. Any ideas? (Wondering if this is already hiding in the code - - - - chuckling!)
