How can I set up Expensable 4.1 to record my daily cash expenses,
lunch, gas, groceries, cash for kids, mileage for business expenses,
etc...and have them transfer correctly to the appropriate Catagory
accounts in Quicken 2002 for Home & Business???...I have Expensable
installed and the icon appears on Quickens tool bar...

Thanx...a clarification...
I have have tried to get everything set up, but Expensable only
transferred accounts like my charge cards and asset accounts...

How do I handle the "envelopes"???...do I name an envelope for each
month, or for each expense catagory, like "lunche", "gas" etc and put
all my expenses in???

I used to use Expensable with my Quickbooks when I had a small
business and transfer everything over and it worked just fine...

But Expensable was designed for business expenses like, motel, car
rental, parking etc...and I can change some of them, but some of those
expenses won't edit out...

When I tried to import all my catagories from Quicken, I didn't get
them...

I'm just stumped on how to set it up to handle my personal cash
expenses...

Thanx for the reply...
Steve

hello there. it's pretty easy. once you enter everything in
expensable, you use the button on the button bar to transfer to
Quicken. the first time you do this you will be a dialog box that asks
you to locate your quicken file.

i used to use expensable for business, and quicken for personal stuff.
when i transferred things over quicken has your net worth.

also, you can use quicken to track everything, it's easy to set up
accounts and categories for personal items. expensable is quite handy
for expense reports and transfers, but if you're using it to track
personal stuff only, you may as well just use quicken.

good luck!
