Need a gambling log for tax purposes? Two files are now available in the files section of
vpFree. The first (GambleLog2.rtf) is a WORD file in .rtf format that most word processors
can read. It produces a sheet with two days' logs to easily record session - by - session data
re: gambling wins/losses for tax purposes. The second file (GambleLog2008.fp7) is a
FileMakerPro database application that allows entry of each session's data, and produces a
nicely formated summary report showing session data, win/loss/net totals by day, trip, and
overall to date. The database file contains some dummy data as an illustration. Those data
are easily deleted to pave the way for your own. If you are minimally familiar with F?
ilemakerPro, you can easily modify the template to include other data as well, such as coin-
in, coin out, etc. There are two scripts under "SCRIPTS" on the menu bar. One runs the
summary form producer on "found files"; the second first takes you to the "FIND" routine so
you can enter search/find critera to include in the report all data; data only for a particular
casino, date, trip, etc. If you use that second script and decide you want to see all data
instead of selected data, just enter an asterisk * in the first search field. The two files are
independent - either can be used without the other. I hope some find these files useful.
