General Instructions
WARNING! As this system automatically establishes a database of
the maximum size at the time an account is opened, there must be
at least 105,000 characters of free space on the disk.
Consequently, if you receive the system on a magazine or other
public domain distribution diskette, there may not be sufficient
space for the programs to execute. In this event, move the
"bankn" directory to its own diskette.
The Bank'n system will allow you to keep your bank account in
perfect balance with ease. The way it works is that you enter
transactions into the checkbook journal as they occur. Your are
presented with the remaining balance after each transaction has
been entered. Before you begin, you may customize the expense
code table to fit your particular situation and specify budget
amounts for each category if desired. An option is available to
produce your monthly reconciliation as well as several detail and
summary reports. The most useful function is the ability to
search the checkbook journal for the occurrence of any desired
search argument.
The system is actually composed of seven separate programs. They
are:
Open Account (OpenAct)
Enter Expense Codes (ExCodes)
Checkbook (Ckbook)
Reports (Reports)
Query (Query)
End of Year (EOY)
Documentation (ReadMe)
The Open Account program provides a method for entering your
name, beginning balance and beginning check number. An option is
available to force strict sequence control for check numbers.
You may have any number of accounts, providing there is
sufficient space on your disk.
The Expense Codes program provides a method of establishing
expense codes to which you checkbook transaction amounts will be
applied. An expense code must be assigned to each checkbook
transaction to be used for query purposes and for producing
summary reports.
The Checkbook program provides the method for entering your
banking transactions and keeping track of the ending balance.
You will find that the checkbook journal is similar in appearance
to your normal journal, except that this one is much easier to
use.
The Reports program provides a method of reconciling your account
and provides other detail and summary reports relating to your
banking transactions.
The Query program will allow you to design reports in any desired
format. You specify the selection criteria, the sort sequence
and the output display or print format.
The End of Year program allows you to reset your transaction
database in preparation for a new year.
The ReadMe program provides on-screen help relating to the use of
the system.
The following is general information you need to know when
entering data into the various programs.
(1) When a field on the screen becomes full, the cursor
will be automatically positioned over the first character of the
next field.
(2) When a field is not to be completely filled, use the
TAB key to advance to the next field. DO NOT use the RETURN to
advance to the next field. The RETURN is used to terminate data
entry for a transaction. The Right Arrow may also be used to
advance to the next field. The Left Arrow may be used to go back
to the previous field.
(3) To change the data in a numeric field, you must first
use the DEL key to delete any data that has been previously
entered. Then reenter the correct data.
(4) Use the HELP key to obtain assistance at any time.
Here's how to get started:
(1) First, select "OpenAct" and enter the information
requested. You may select this option as many times as you wish.
(2) Second, select "ExCodes" and build your expense code
table. If you need help, select "ReadMe" and review the
procedures for building the Expense Code table. You may find
that your Bank'n diskette already contains an expense code table.
If so, you may use that table or customize it to meet your
specific needs.
(3) Now you may select "Ckbook" and begin to enter bank
transactions.
Be sure to backup your Bank'n diskette often.
