pdQ Apps.book Page 151 Monday, October 26, 1998 10:50 AM Creating a Custom Expense Report About Mapping Tables Before creating or modifying an Expense template, it’s important to understand the function of Palm™ Desktop’s Expense application.

The Maptable.xls file is an editable spreadsheet that functions as a “mapping table.
pdQ Apps.book Page 152 Monday, October 26, 1998 10:50 AM Customizing Existing Sample Templates Customizing Existing Sample Templates Four sample Expense Report templates come with Palm Desktop.

In this case, neither day/date–or expense type information would be “fixed” (as a header).
