The trick is to update it. I typically scan emails every hour and leave an email 'unread' (bold) until I update the spreadsheet or answer the question. I use cell fill colors to code projects that are funded/not funded, awaiting decision from someone, etc.
... I do like that scan software that Mark mentioned too-if I can hyperlink to PDF scans of receipts, that'll be another piece of info matrixed into the 'Master Spreadsheet'!

Thank you; I'm an Excel whiz and had been tracking a list of items on a spreadsheet, but I hadn't thought of links, or color coding. I like that and will incorporate that (I think) -

V/r,

and, again, thank you. Part 1 was in the February 2004 edition of HPP; Part 2 was March of 2004 and then there were some follow up editorials in the May 2004 version. HPP was also kind enough to run a copy of Dad's obituary after he passed away.
