... and it doesn't do *anything like* what I want.

I want a simple ledger not a double-entry book-keeping program.

*All* I want is a way to enter debits and credits into a single
account/ledger and show the balance.  GnuCash is total overkill for this
and would insist on places to get money from, places to send money too,
a balancing transaction, etc.

What I want is to be able to do the following:-

2012-01-01      Initial Balance         100.00          100.00
2012-02-02      Buy hay                 -10.00           90.00
2012-02-10      Horsefeed               -47.50           42.50
2012-03-01      Payment from Fred        50.00           92.50

This is absolutely all I want, just a simple way to enter the above data
and present it as a table. (Well, I want the computer to calculate the
last column, the balance)

My ideal way of showing this would be a 'grid' on a web page which would
show a blank row below the last entry into which one could type the next
row of data.  I can produce something like this in MS Access but would
prefer Open Source and Web based if possible.
