Need a quick hand please!

Raging Pineapples

Would someone do me a little favour?

I don't have access to Sage Instant for another 3 weeks, but I need to try something out, so if someone could try this for me I'd really appreciate it.

On the journals screen, you have the following fields:

N/C, Name, Details, T/C, Debit, Credit

If you fill these in in EXCEL like-a-da-so:

1200,[blank],TRF In,T9,100,0
1200,[blank],TRF Out, T9,0,100

And copy the range and paste it into the Journals, does it automatically crosscast them into the correct locations?

I know some apps do this by default because when you copy a range in Excel, it's automatically converted on the clipboard to use tabs to separate cells horizontally, and returns to separate each row.

I'm preparing a payslip generator which then generates the double-entry journal for the transaction. It'd be a nice touch if the user could just copy and paste the journal, but I don't know if it'd actually work.

Would be really appreciated! I tried it on Sage's Test Drive system, but the Test Drive uses its own clipboard so you can't copy and paste from your PC into the Test Driven Sage.

Thanks,

Chris
