how does money handle travel details per trip?

Dick and Richard,
Thanks so much for your kind replies. Your thoughts are very helpful. Yes,
Dick, your understanding of my use of classes in your last message is
correct. You are correct in that I am trying to use MS Money as a
semi-formal accounting system for our small business. The reason is
simple--no other reasonablely priced, non-module software does
mutli-currency. Quickbooks doesn't and MS's new SBA won't (at least for
now). If you know of a small business accounting package that does
mult-currency please let me know.

In the meantime I guess I have to make do with MS Money--which I find just
fine for most of our needs.
Thanks!

I should add that my suspicion from your question is that you are trying to
coerce Money to do a more formalized accounting system than it is really
designed to do. This will probably be a frustrating exercise.

So, classification1 is defined as Branch and has both levels used like
Branch Xyz:Abc and classification2 is defined as Fund and has both levels
used like Fund Def:Ghi???

The only remaining possibility is subcategories as Richard pointed out and
some special text in some formalized way in the memo.

A possible solution:

Create subcategories for Dining, Lodging and Airfare (such as Business
Expenses: Dining).

Customize your reports to include only the date range for the trip and to
only show those subcategories.

When you're reimbursed, credit the reimbursement to thoe subcategories.

Greetings,
I would appreciate any pointers anyone can give. I'm trying to find a way to
keep track of the expenses for each trip. The problem is that both
classifications are already used for other purposes (branch and fund).
Within each trip date I need: 1) trip date 2) dinning 3) lodging and 4)
airfare?
any ideas?
Thanks,
