I am self employed and would like get a easy to use personal finance tool which I could potentially upgrade to business use later on
I have used MS Money before but I do find the package packed with far too many features and to navigate around the software I have to hit-and-miss at menus...
my ideal vision of the software would be something built on top of excel and access ...
the other thing is that I need to train my wife to use the tool and trying to do that ms money will be far too painful a process... she is planning to get an ecdl so I know excel and access are included in that and will help alleviate the pain...
so the transactions would be kept in access tables and data entry would be via access or an import from excel..
the problem I am having with just using excel is the sheer number of transactions that can build up....
i have to use excel for data import since some of the institutions do not have a download file option and so I cut and past from a web page into excel and subsequent cleaning....
Cheers Hiro
