OK, I have formulated a plan after giving this some thought and I wanted to thank you all for your input.  I will make up a checklist with the tasks listed (thanks MLM, I should have thought of this myself!) and have my reluctant trainee initial the items as she masters them.  I also plan to have her do the payroll entry on a regular basis so she will feel comfortable when she is needed to back me up.  This also lightens my load going forward and avoids the inevitable "I forget how" if I only train her and never have her handle routine entries.  I will also copy the checklists to her manager (I have decided to leave my director out of this for now and add it to my performance appraisal as an accomplishment).  Now my only problem is getting her to stay at her desk and not wander the office telling everyone how busy she is!  (OK, not my problem but you know what  I mean.....)

thanks again and have a safe, happy 4th!
