In my MS Access Accounting application, I have a table named tblAccounts 
which contains: AccountNo (Primary key), AccountName,MainAcNo, Main (boolean 
value). The accounts table is arranged like this: MainAccountNos->sub 
accountnos. For example:
AccountNo	AccountName		MainAcNo	Main
100000		Assets			0		yes
110000		Fixed assets		100000		yes
111000		Buildings		110000		yes
111001		Building No.1		111000		no
........... and so on..
Here all the three accounts to the top are main accounts and the fourth 
account is a sub account. The sub accounts are the only accounts that are 
taken in transactions. I could generate the total debits and total credits 
for each accounts through a query based on the transaction table. But the 
problem is: How can I get the totals for the main accounts which are not 
directly related to the transaction table in accordance to its position in 
this accounting tree hierarchy.
My transactions tables:
(1) tblAcDataEntryMain: VoucherNo (Primary), Date.
(2) tblAcDataEntryDetail: VoucherNo, AccountNo, Description, Debit, Credit.
Please help me. Thanking you,
