Click New Accounts File on the File menu. This will create a new account with all amounts set to zero.
Ensure that the Initial Funds button
is in the down position, so that the Initial Funds text
box is editable, and the Initial Funds figure is included
in all calculations.
Initial Funds can be entered in two ways:
Type an amount which represents the sum of the opening balances
of the
Primary and Secondary accounts, into the Initial
Funds text box (and then press the ENTER key).
Now use the Split clickspin control to split
the total between the two accounts. Check the first column of numbers
in the table to monitor the balances as they change.
An alternative approach exists, which gives you greater control over the
precision of the amounts entered. Click the setup button
to the right of the Initial Funds clickspin
control, to open
a form with individual text boxes for the two accounts. Here you
can enter, separately, the opening balances for the Primary and
Secondary accounts. Click OK to close the form. The balance figures
in the table (and charts) will match those you have just entered.
However, if you subsequently use any of the Split
controls to adjust the balances, the figures which then appear will be subject
to rounding errors (nearest percentage).
