Your answer made me giggle Craig. It is the same answer I always give whenever someone asks me for information on accounting. I still have my old college accounting books and I needed them on many occasions when I've written accounting packages. I was surprised to learn recently that accounting is no longer required for Programming degrees! It seems that if it can be done using an excel macro, they don't need to learn it or the principles anymore. Surprising!
