Ok, I see what you're saying now but I'm not sure that's much of an improvement over what we currently have. I'd like a smart bucket that shows the difference between the sum of my cash flow accounts and my bucket balances (which will always be $0 for me) so I can immediately see if I have any errors without having to visually compare two numbers or click anywhere. Since real buckets have both a list of associated transactions and a list of associated money flows, perhaps each smart bucket could have two separate queries and would sum the amounts together. Then you could still easily create simple transaction only based queries, but if you wanted, you could also flip to a Money Flow query tab as well. I see smart buckets as being really useful to "combine" multiple physical buckets you already have. For example, I could create a smart bucket that combines my bills into a single smart bucket, or even create "discretionary" and "non-discretionary" buckets. Maybe even "first half" and "second half" of the month expense buckets. Lots of possibilities here. All of these would require the ability to query on money flows to make them useful and work similar to existing buckets. If I were limited to transaction only queries, there are one or two I might use (sum of open transactions), but overall I wouldn't find the feature very useful. But perhaps others see usages I don't. -Lance --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
