Tiffany, Thanks for your offer of help. here's what I want. I want my computer to download all of my financial data from my bank. Then, ideally I'd like it to categorize each expendature, and each deposit. After this, I'd like it to create an easily understandable display of where my money is going IE 20% of your budget is going to eating out. 60% of your budget is going to your mortgage. Additionally, I'd like it to help me get ready for tax time. This is all possible in quicken, though it's not too speech friendly.
I apreciate your offer of help with xl. If some one were to create all the templates to do this so I don't have to create them. If I can simply tab around and hear, not only what field I'm in, but what the contence of that field are, then XL might be useful to me. A program like quicken is designed for this. It will keep track of what taxes are paid. It will keep track of what you can deduct at tax time. People have done all the hard work. I'm only suggesting that some one take a hard look at making this available to us on the BN. I don't have time or inclination to really learn to use xl. I'd like to use a configured tool which is ready for the job. I'm glad that some have found that XL is what they need, and that they know how to make it work for them. To me, it's the difference between using a blank pad of paper and a calculator--you've got to know the formulas and stuff--, and using a computer which asks the appropriate questions and then, with the correct answers, spits out the information the user asks for. I am currently working on learning quicken,. It is relatively speech unfriendly, but it's working. Thanks!

Well, I do all of that in Excel. I use Excel to track my expenses, budget for the month and keep track of my checking in various spreadsheets. It is easy. I tried using the database to track my checking info, however, it is very frustrating and combersome. I have gone bak to Excel because it is easier and quicker for me. If anyone would like help setting up spreadsheets in Excel please contact me off list and I would be happy to help you.
