Thanks so much, Lynn!  This template looks like it has almost exactly what
they want.  One question/problem, though...I set up the template exactly as
yours, then I took out a couple things the library didn't want, like staff
login and bill #, and tried changing Library to Workstation (Payments:
Desk->Cash Drawer->Workstation Name).  No matter what I did, for the same
sample period the Amounts always added up to the same number (good,
right?!)--which was 71.90 less than what shows up in the Local Admin-Cash
Reports for the same sample period.

Do yours always match?  Is it possible the Local Admin-Cash Reports is
incorrect?  From where in the database does that draw?

Thanks!
Debbie
