[comp.sys.mac.misc] Wingz application question

tim@hiv.med.umn.edu (Tim Leonard) (01/28/91)

I have a question concerning the use of a spreadsheet (and possibly
data base).  I am helping a non-profit group set up a set of books
for daily and monthly records.  What I need to set up is an application
that records daily income from donations and outgo for expenses (a
checkbook) and the ability to sum totals for 20 or 30 specific 
categories of entries and list them in separate listings.  It seems much
like a family budget, tied to the family checkbook, except with more
catagories.

I have Wingz spreadsheet and I have been trying to find out how you
can move through a checkbook set up in the spreadsheet and sum by
entry name:

      e.g.               1-1-91  type1  24.00
                         1-2-91  type1  13.00
                         1-2-91  type2   5.90
                         1-2-91  type1   3.00
                         1-3-91  type2  20.00
                         --------------------
                         Total  type1   ***.**
                         Total  type2   ***.**

As one who is new to this type of program, I would appreciate any
advice in where to look to find out how to set up this sort of thing.

E-mail would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
