I spent a year as the finance manager of a small non-profit, and I had to learn this stuff. I found the Schaum's outline that used to be called _Elementary Bookkeeping_ and now is called _Schaum's Outline of Bookkeeping and Accounting_ (and not to be confused with their similarly titled _Easy Outline of Bookkeeping and Accounting_) to be really, really good. I picked the stuff up very quickly. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
