I have a suggestion. My job pays a salary, and I get comission on my repair work. Salary is obviously fixed but the comissions vary by pay period. Is there a way to implement that? Or, how would I input that info? Also, I've tested it on a Sprint Touch/Vogue, so that info can be added to the OP.

Assuming your commissions are monthly, the best way to do this is keep a different profile for each month. You can have your main profile with a salary item and a bonus item for your commission, then for a new month, just click Save As, select a new file name (i.e. April09), then simply edit the bonus amount and save.

I'm not sure how many people care, since this thread dies faster than a fish out of water...but I'm still making improvements to this app.

For the next release, I've FINALLY successfully coded a sorting algorithm for the income/expense/deductions lists that allows the user to simply click the column header once to sort ascending, and twice for descending. With the standard .NET Framework, doing this is one line of code, but of course, I don't get that leisure with WM development. My code to sort a list is about 200 lines long (not much of it is the actual sorting calculation).

I tried coding it several different ways, but they all sorted it too slow, but last night I got it...so expect that on the next release.

I'm also probably going to add a percent drop-down list to the Pre-Tax Deductions Add/Edit window, since most people's 401(k), IRA, etc are based on a percentage of their income.

There are other things I'd like to do, but eventually, my (far in the future) plans for this app are much bigger than a simple budget application, and it won't even be called myBudget anymore when/if it's "completed".

Is there anything that any of you would like to see added?

Could you maybe incorporate some fart noises? lol...j/k...couldn't resist after reading Hibby's thread. I really like what you are doing with this program and am glad you're going to keep working on it. I can't really think of anything I would personally like to see added, it works great as is. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you are planning on doing with this. Thanks!

Don't worry, we are still keeping an eye on the thread. What about building a registry of sorts into the app to allow for expenditures on the road... kind of like a WinMo checkbook registry, but one that allows us to go against our available money for the month? Also, how about the ability to print out a detailed report of our monthly budget?

Those could keep you busy for a little while

That is a great f'ing idea...the checkbook registry thingy. I never thought of that because I NEVER keep a register. LOL. This will be a definite implementation in the future.

About the printing...do you mean wireless printing?

Lol, if I incorporated fart noises, I'd probably be VIP by now.

I've started working on another tab today. I'm not sure how useful it will be to some people, but it's something that I will definitely use. It's a "Personal" tab that has a list where you can store personal information like account numbers, credit card numbers (with ccv code), logins for websites or work, SSN, or other info you'd like to put on there. I'm going to make it so that when the tab is clicked, the details for each item are not visible until you open them though. HINT: You'll definitely want to PW protect files with this kind of info...duh.

+1 on the checkbook registry. I use an excel spreadsheet now. Having that incorporated in the app would be nice.

Glad you liked my idea. And yes, wireless printing.

On a side note, I hate when our company gets audits... makes my work day more like actual work...

Printing would be an entirely new world for WM programming for me. I wouldn't expect that any time soon, unless it's really easy. I'll do some research.
