I unfortunately do not have the time to add my thoughts to this discussion, but do feel that the idea's that these guys have come up with for doing budgets works. http://www.simplybudgets.com/

Maybe another window could handle this. Some sort of customised account register with transactions for a period for all the accounts in that catagory. A right click menu option could bring up this register for the selected category. Come to think of it this might go hand in hand with the suggestion for a planned/actual view of the budgeting information. If you see that you were over budget in a certain category for a period you could bring up this window to see the transactions which contributed to that situation. Question is, is this something that should be done by the workbench or in a report somewhere? Maybe both? > > Nice job.

Refine/Test my ideas and learn a bit about the design of the current code base.
