Changes from Q'06 to Q'09 - Little Things

If you wanted to know all expenses for each individual vacation, tags would be VERY useful.

For example, you vacation to wonderful Kiln, MS. Create a tag called Kiln. Now you can tag whatever expenses (categories) you have associated with that trip: Fuel, ammunition, mosquito repellant, hardhat, Pepto Bismol, high boots, radar detector, etc. -- without re-creating these categories for, say, your next vacation to Bogalusa, LA.

Yep there it is. Missed before. Lee "Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old." Jonathan Swift

Auto is a great example. I just have one category and I use tags for the rest. I have Fuel, Tolls & Parking, Maintenance (or Service), etc. If I wanted to keep track of the specific auto, I also have tags for each car I own (you can have multiple tags on a transaction).

I have sub-subcategories, like auto:service:mustang, and travel:0808 Asheville. I suppose if I wanted to keep track of how much I spent on fuel for a driving vacation, tags would be useful? As it is, I just have a subcategory for each vacation. But really, that's all I need to know.

I'm guessing that since tags can cross categories, some may find them useful. I've been using Q for over 15 years and haven't come across the

need.
