Mom's got a really complicated filing system and billing system which is
necessary to cover multiple bank accounts and keep track of where and why
and how everything was spent.  (Why and what it is is too complicated...)

ANYHOW, she's also been using Wingz to cover the general overall finances.
What she wants me to do is design a way to have everything from FileMaker
go over into the spreadsheet.  She wants the total of all items with a date
of 11/ and the category "food" (for example) to be automatically ported
over into the correspnding cell.

SO, I've ordered FileMaker 2.0 and Excel 4.0 and they're on their way.

What I want to get is the general reaction of people here as to how
difficult/easy/"THAT'S SIMPLE, YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT I DO!" it's going to be.

Anything you can contribute, be it problems or praises or instruction, is
very much appreciated!

Thanks!
