Hi,
I need to have an input form for expenses and income, my idea was to have the expenses automatically converted to a negative amount when they are input’ed on the form. I have a drop down list of expense types, my expense types are “Income”, “Expense”, “Capital Expense”. Income is invoices paid, expense is lunch or travel, Capital expense is new Laptop.
So when I write a report I can get a very easy income and expense.
Any help would be great.
thanks, Kiselhuis

GnuCash is a free software accounting program that implements a double-entry bookkeeping system. It was initially aimed at developing capabilities similar to Intuit, Inc.'s Quicken application, but also has features for small business accounting.
If GnuCash doesn’t suit your style, there are several other FLOSS accounting programs – just take a look at this list on Wikipedia:
Hey Qubit, thanks for the suggestion, I am going to try that out!
