                            Topic Description 
                           Originally done by hand on paper these spreadsheets started in DOS  Lotus 123  
                           and were ported to SuperCalc5 and eventually Mesa2.   Salesbook and Cashbook (for 
                           a travel agency) have gradually evolved over eighteen years as the business grew.  
                           This session will show an integrated collection of spreadsheets that are 
                           structured to meet the requirement of Canadian and Ontario legal and tax reporting 
                           requirements. Supporting dual, Canadian and American currencies these sheets rely 
                           heavily on Mesa2 scripts to ease the process of maintaining accounts and 
                           commissions receivable.  Session attendees will be taught the use of primary and 
                           secondary data entry, script creation and execution, and how to create formulas 
                           across multiple sheets to track expense accounts monthly and yearly.  
                           
                            
                           A CDROM will be distributed with notes, sample MESA2.M2 files and a demo version 
                           of MESA2.
