OK, I see how that would work and I will take a look at implementing that procedure. Of course, the obvious question, at this point, is why doesn't Intuit simply include this feature with the QBO software? If this were built into the software it seems that it would require fewer keystrokes and less thought on the part of the data entry person. Somehow, I was told once that easier and simpler was the objective of software. For what I am paying monthly for the privilege of using QBO software they could shell out a few $$$ and hire Ernst & Young to consult on this since the QBO engineers apparently can't figure out how to code it on their own. 

Good information! Thanks for responding.
