The "Save Allocation" button will create all the Money Flows you have set up in your Spending Plan. I think you were just tripped up by the wording... Also, your "Initial Dough" bucket might be unnecessary. There won't be any transactions tied to your initial Cash Flow amount, so it could really go into any bucket. The only place it would show up is in the Money Flows for your buckets. It sounds like you're more concerned about tracking deposits with the buckets, so maybe you could eliminate this bucket? //Drew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "No Thirst Software User Forum" group.
