Perhaps you haven't had a chance to look over the various responses you
got to your original question, so please don't take this as a personal
rebuke, but it would be helpful if, when people post a question to the
list, and get several responses, that they then reply to those responses
and indicate which of them were helpful and whether they solved their
problem. The list archive is a valuable resource. I, for one, would like
to know whether my response ("try GnuCash") was helpful because at some
point I am going to have to start evaluating GnuCash for my own needs,
which aren't too dissimilar to yours. That's the way it works: people
ask questions, others try to be helpful, and sometimes learn something
themselves if they are told that their answer really was helpful.

So, in general, if you post a question to this list and someone's answer
was genuinely helpful then please let the rest of us know. It's not
about politeness (that could be done off list) but about building a
valuable resource (the list archive).

Best, Darren
