There's nothing to prevent anyone having as many different account numbers for the same expense as is required by the taxing authorities. My request was to make each account widget into a pick-list or drop-down control so we can scroll through, click on the one we want, and that's entered in the data entry widget. It's a data entry convenience, that's all. Here in the US there is no required account numbering system or even account names. When I started my business 21 years ago my accountant gave me an initial chart of accounts to which I've added or modified names, over the years. Rich -- Richard B.
