David S. - 03 Jun 2005 16:00 GMT This is way off topic, but I know there are some folks here well versed in computerese, so figured I would take a stab at it. Did not mean to offend by taking up space here with this topic.
Basically I have a Palm Pilot, "Tungsten E", that I have never really learned to use beyond the calendar and address book. What I am looking for is a program that would allow me to track expenses by date and category. We used to have someone here who set up reports on the PC that he then uploaded to the Exec's Palms so they could look up stuff in meetings (he was very popular with the Big Boys). He moved on a long time ago, but I saw that there was more to the Palm device than what came with it stock.
So, anyone out there have any suggestions? Let me rephrase that, any "helpful suggestions"?
Thank you.
David S.

Your Palm has a program for finances built into it.
Tap on your main menu (house icon) Tap on expenses and there it is
You can create several categories and the date comes standard. It won't the muster of a CPAs ledger, but it'll keep track of your expenses until you get home.

I must have a different version or something. My options under Main are "Quick Tour", "Calendar", "Contacts", "Memos", "Note Pad", "Tasks", and "World Clock". I suppose I could use Note Pad, but I was looking for something that would categorize the expenses and be uploadable to the PC.
Thank you. Have a good weekend.

Most of it allows you to try it before you buy it. I included a link to the expense program that was rated the best by the users ot the site, but there are a lot of other ones you can try too..

Steve Kramer - 04 Jun 2005 07:10 GMT After you click on the MAIN, go up into the upper right corner and pull down the menu there. Click on "ALL"

Looked at them some time ago and concluded they were just another "yuppies' toy".
Hewlett Packard let us all down when they stopped making the HP Palmtop Computers. I still have and use a HP200LX and even have a working HP95LX, both running DOS, Lotus 123 and a Solver feature you can write up your own Equations. They produced a couple of later Palmtops that ran on Win CE and Excel, but were limited in what they could do, so they've also been discontinued. Thaddeus Computing still supports these, but I don't know for how long. I have loads of handy programs and worksheets on them I've conjured up myself. I'm the Dinosaur with the Magic Box :)
Anyways, I always do my "creative" Tax Return on the big 'puter.

Steve Kramer - 04 Jun 2005 07:11 GMT I was a techno geek at one time, but gave it up when it because my job from '94 through '99.
But, never wanted a PDA. Thought the same thing as you. But, my wife bought one for Father's Day. I learned how to use it and cannot imagine having survived the last two years without it.

I also have found some cards at my local Curcuit City store.
try here; www.palmone.com/us/

Alan Meyer - 04 Jun 2005 02:03 GMT For some weird reason, the Expense program that Steve refers to doesn't come with all Palm's but is available free for all of them.
You can get it here:
http://www.palmone.com/us/support/downloads/palmdt_4.html
Here's a commercial program with a free version:

I haven't tried either of them.

Steve Kramer - 04 Jun 2005 07:11 GMT Really? My old Palm, my wife's Palm, my son's Palm and my Tungsten all have it. I'm surprised.

I think however that the link I provided may only install a desktop version of the Expense program - not the handheld part. Here's a link to the handlheld part:

This is month end close week for us, and so far it is not going all that well (in other words, normal). I will get back on this toward the end of the week.
Thank you all again. Have a good week.
