The next menu item is Deposit.  This is where you record deposits made by residents.

 Select the resident to deposit funds from by clicking on the down arrow key.  Click OK when the correct name is highlighted.  Clicking Cancel will return you to the Resident Trust Fund Main Menu.

The cursor is initially located in the date field, with today’s date as the default.  You may enter another date if desired.  Pressing either the <Tab> or <Enter> keys will move the cursor to the next field.

Enter the amount deposited.  Then enter a description for the money deposited, e.g., Deposit - Social Security, Deposit - VA.  If you double click your left mouse button while the cursor is in the Description field, the Expense Look Up Table will appear.  The word Deposit in on that list, and you can customize specific types of Deposits; the look up feature will save you some typing.  Or, if you feel more comfortable with the keyboard than the mouse, pressing the F2 button while in the Description field will also bring up the Expense Look Up Table.   The balance will be calculated for you automatically.

The button bar at the bottom of the screen has several options.  You may scroll through your database using the Next or Previous buttons, or click on Residents to bring back up the list of residents in your database.  This short-cut will allow you to record deposits from several residents.

Click on Save to record the entered information.  If the entered information is not correct, click on Abandon to erase the last entry.  Click on Close to return to the Resident Trust Fund Main Menu.
