Description:
Because Microsoft stopped distributing their expenses tool and I don't like the alternatives I have seen, I have programmed a little thing myself. This freeware program is called Easy Expenses.
Easy Expenses is mainly focussed on logging expenses. It is meant to be simple and easy to use. Easy Expenses is not designed as a complete finance management program and never will be. If you want to use Easy Expenses for this purpose, you have to export the data and process it in a program like Microsoft Excel.
You can modify the values shown in the lists in order to fit your wishes. Option to export to tab-separated text file for importing in Excel or other program.
Features:
- Freeware!
- Easy to use.
- Quick, finger friendly entry of expenses.
- Export to text file (excel readable).
- Data logging.
- Totals (grand total, this month, last month).
- AppToDate support.
Update Description:
v0.94.4 (02-04-2009):
- Second attempt to fix the fresh start bug.
v0.94.3 (01-04-2009):
- Fixed a bug introduced in 0.94.2 that crashes program on first run after a fresh installation.
v0.94.2 (31-03-2009):
- Added options to open/save database files. This makes it possible to use multiple databases.
- Changed default database file extension from .txt to .eef (the file format is kept unchanged).
v0.94.1 (24-03-2009):
- Added exit button to menu.
- Improved item selection in main expense list.
v0.94.0 (07-02-2009):
- New database format. Easier to edit (with Excel or a text editor) and smaller. The old database will be converted to the new format on the first run. Afterwards you can delete the old file (EasyExpensesData.ini).
- Added receipt management: every expense item can have a receipt. Receipt numbers automatically increase for each new item, but can also be modified manually.
- Added reverse order sorting.
- Added command line parameter for data folder: when an existing folder path is used as a command line parameter (in a shortcut), this folder will be used as the database location. This can be usefull when using more than one database on the same device. You should copy EasyExpensesDefaults.ini to this location manually.
