Hi all,

I have never posted a product for review so please bear with me if I muck it up a bit. (or advise me if this is the wrong forum for this posting please)

In 2002 I did a M/S office course and part of it was building an excel database. I used our credit card as the input data and used it to learn how to put in clip art etc. Hubby and I found it was sooo good at helping us budget that we still use it today. I have often wondered if something of this sort would be of help for artists here to keep a track of thier purchases.  It is sort of aimed at the hobbyist or semi pro who cannot afford/doesnt understand myob/quicken etc. I don't intend it to replace the persons' tax agent at tax time as I think it is a bit basic for that. It is more a tool to keep track of things.

My intent is to have two versions:

A basic free one with a couple of columns that add itself up and the person can just keep banging the info in to keep a record of purchases.

Then a more complex one that breaks up the purchases into catagories to better organise and review the outgoing expenses. I am thinking as well to have it for merchants to keep track of what is sold so they can plan which items are worth spending more effort on.

I am including some screen prints to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

I would like some people to test them and give me feedback on useability and what price range would it reasonably be aimed at.

I am open to suggestions for addons but my excel is a bit rusty so complex formulas are not my best suite.

Thanks in advance.
Jenny

Screen shot one is the basic main body/header (full screen versions will give a clearer view)

This is the 'totals' area of the freebie to show you how it all pans out.

This is the header of the 'advanced' one. To give an idea of what I am thinking of. I am looking for ideas of different column headings for different artists eg: modellers, daz users, merchants etc.
