There are a few things I'm trying to do, but the easiest and probably most important to me is to copy data out of a template table into a line in the database. So, for example, rent is always $900 paid to Kathy with a check and part of the housing budget category, and I have that information stored in the template, so I want to be able to just enter a mnemonic of "rent" and auto populate the database based on that (leaving me only needing to type in the date). I want to actually copy the data in because even though rent is always $900 this year, it'll be something a little different next year. Some transactions will be entered completely from scratch, and a lot will have a less complete template (phone bill is the same company each month from the same account and the same budget category, but a varying amount).
