How about Filemaker 11? I haven’t upgraded because my needs are few and the 
upgrade fee just hasn’t been worth it. I have just a few databases and most of 
them I could replace with Excel…but my check register one that has some things 
in it for helping balance the account and to automatically add up tax 
deductible stuff would be more difficult to do in Excel…meaning I would have to 
set some manual summation cells to get the totals.

On the other hand…if anybody has an Excel template for doing this and is 
willing to share then I could just dump Filemaker altogether.

I enter items in the register as either a debit, credit, or tax deducible item 
only…naturally only credits and debits show up in the checkbook balance. Once I 
check off the stuff that is cleared in the statement then it gives me the 
number to add/subtract from the statement balance to get the register balance. 
The only other thing I need is for both debits and tax deductible only items I 
want to select from a list of deductible categories and then when I run the 
report I get a total for each deductible category (they basically line up with 
the 1040 Schedule categories so that I can just copy the numbers to TurboTax or 
whatever.

Everything but the auto sorting and summing up of deductible stuff I already 
figure out how to do in Excel…but haven’t expended the effort to figure out how 
to do the deduction stuff without having to manually add up (or create 
calculated cells to do it for me) those entries.
