Hi Javier

>to be short I would avoid that much Narration. Accountants (I'am an accountant) do not need that much explanation, they now how to write and read Journals, it's something you get with the years, it's like learning another language.

But the guys here don't <g>

>And average users should not read the Journals, instead they should read clear forms with the information on invoices, payments, customers, ...

Agreed

>Besides, having that Narration field generates huge memo fields that make the application slower and more prone to failure because of corruption. And the 2GB limit can de reached sooner.

I learnt it the hard way.

>The field that accountants need is a "Notes" field, in which one can annotate the same way as when you read printed Journals (and sometimes these notes can save you time and headaches in the future).

Yes but these accountant wanted this narration field (notes as you call it) automted thus started the whole farce. Plus they still want to add remarks to this narration.
