Hi Doug,
Since you didn't describe any keypresses, I'll assume you are answering question 2. But you didn't really answer question 2.
Is it acceptable to show just the departments that are valid for the chosen account, forcing an ESCAPE-BACKTAB sequence to select another account if the department isn't there that you expect, or is it useful to have the full chart of accounts available for selection - the way it currently works.
