Hi Virgil and Alan Back in the 80's we implemented an Accounting system for a NewsPaper which had masses of small adds each giving rise to invoices and many small value line items. We implemented double entry accounting by having an Invline table whose totals were posted to InvHead using a list filter based do while. At every show of an invoice Valids ran the check again. This was first implemented in Clipper which inclined to get its indexes corrupted and later it was ported toVFP, extended to SOP and line item distributative charging for Creditors. Our first customer a friendly accountant failed to break the system. I saw the idea used in a US Paper Manufacturing Fully Absorbed Standard Costs System. William
