Being a new user, you might not be aware of mathematical expressions to split payments. An example I use all the time is to split a payment into thirds: first split is (total)/3, then remainder/2 to give last 2 amounts. Expressions can be far more complicated if one needs to calculate tax for an employees pay etc etc. I use this feature really often. regards, Doug
