The simple expense tracker (xPenses) allows you to quickly enter categorized expenses into your Palm Pilot. The program keeps the database and can show you total sum of the entered numbers or various subtotals, based on the time and category.
Install the xPenses.prc file using the standard installation tool and perform the HotSync. The icon of the application should appear on the display.
When you tap the icon of the application, you enter the data-input form, shown on the picture below:
Enter the number (you can safely use your finger, because the buttons are large enough). Then select the category in the list on the right side and press OK. The record with the date, category and number is added to the database.
You can add new category by selecting the Category/Add option from the menu. New categories are added from the top or from the bottom up. Later you can not change the order of the categories, that you have entered. You can have up to 15 categories.
You delete the category when you select the Category/Delete option from the menu. If there are no records in the selected category, it is then deleted. You can remove the records from the category by applying appropriate filter and deleting the filtered data.
From the main menu you can enter the setup form, where you can select the three letter currency unit (or any other unit) and its maximal value. You can also make the application to beep when you press the OK button. If you check the option to exit after entering the data, the work with this application will require one silkscreen tap less.
By selecting the menu option Program/Table you get into the data display form. There is also a total sum of the displayed expenses below the table.
If you press the [Filter] button, you can apply the filter. You can select the date interval and the categories, which are displayed in the table.
You can delete either the displayed (filtered) data or the whole table, by selecting an appropriate option in the menu.
