[AccessD] QuickBooks Project... Anyone game?

Hi Gustav... Didn't mean to be so negative. I am fully aware of
accounting data structures. I ran Sage Sovreign for several years for a
60+ branch orgainsation and am currently writing a fairly large project
based cost control application, which tracks costs from initial project
estimates based on project structure etc., through the various
purchasing processes and takes into account varying exchange rates and
rates of inflation. It also handles forecasting, time writing and
resource management. Yep, its pretty difficult to get my head round
certain things, but one things for sure, ultimately the solutions are
always simple ones...

Hi Mark

Well, that's what many a programmer have thought: "- how difficult can
it be to sum debit and credit?". There is more in an accounting
application than this.
