I hope they have their own functions, probably in another sheet to the
one they load our export into.  Figures being updated doesn't come
into it much, does it?  They're our accountants, asked the occasional
question and for year-ends, not our day-to-day bookkeepers.

Yeah, known bug.  I've mentioned it to Alex Lawrie and offered to sort
it out for them, but fixing the design wasn't a priority for him.

They definitely know and can use it.  I don't know whether you'll get
a reply this month, though. ;-)
