Introduction

WinMoney is a home (personal) accounts program for Windows based on the bank statement format.

WinMoney provides a simple way of keeping record of banking transactions carried out and calculating the balances and other details of a number of accounts.  The program may be set up to give a warning if the balance in any particular accounts falls too low, with risk of incurring bank charges etc.  A high warning level is also provided.

WinMoney allows the user to set up Automatic Entries for Direct Debits, Standing Orders etc. or any transaction which occurs regularly on a monthly or yearly(annual) basis.  These will be automatically entered into the transaction database when due and the insertion date updated ready for the next date due.

Reports may be generated for a variety of criteria including a simple list of accounts and balances, and a bank statement form for a single account between prescribed dates.  The latter may then be compared with your Bank or Credit Card Statement for reconciliation (a function provided within WinMoney).  In addition, transactions may be analysed by category and a report generated.

Disclaimer

This is the first full Shareware version of WinMoney.   Previous versions have been in use for over a year by two users, and in Beta test by others for several months and bugs corrected when found, but no guarantee is given or implied that there are no further problems waiting to be found.  Please report any problems to the author (see Contact Info).  Any feedback is much appreciated.

Files Used

WinMoney Files

WinMoney.EXE	The WinMoney program

WinMoney.HLP	Windows Help file for WinMoney

WinMoney.WRI	Documentation in Windows Write format

These files should all be in the same directory.

In addition WinMoney produces and uses the following data files, where dataname is a name you choose for your accounts.

dataname.ACC	The Accounts List.  (Also used to refer to the set)

dataname.CAT	The Categories List.

dataname.DAT	Main transactions database.

dataname.BAC	Backup transactions file

dataname.DDM	Monthly Automatic entries.

dataname.DDA	Annual (Yearly) Automatic entries.

Several sets of accounts may be created with different datanames.  These files may be put in the same directory as the program files or in a separate Data directory.  Data files of the same set(dataname) should remain in the same directory.  WinMoney saves all files of a set in the same directory and any set of files should never be separated into different directories, eg. using File Manager.

The following file will be created in the Windows directory by WinMoney when first run.  Users who prefer not to have INI files in the Windows directory can move it to the directory containing WinMoney.EXE.  (WinMoney looks here first.)

WinMoney.INI	Configuration file - print settings etc.


Accounts List

The Accounts List

Number	Reference number used in the main transaction list.

Name	Name of the account

Starting Balance	Balance in the account when accounts database started.

Access to this list is provided when editing or adding entries.

To edit this list see Edit Accounts Dialog, available from Configuration Menu.


Categories List

The Categories List

A list of optional categories into which the transactions may be divided for the analysis of income or expenditure.  A four character reference is entered for the transaction and the category list relates this to a longer description.

When the date is alright the OK button will return to the Statement Window and put the corrected date back into the text box.

The Account to display is selected from a list box and the dates covered by the reconciliation are entered into text boxes.  If the From date is after the To date nothing is displayed!  No error is generated.

However, if the format of the text cannot be recognised as a date an Error Dialog will be displayed in which the date may be corrected and tested for correct format.  When the date is alright the OK button will return to the Reconciliation Window and put the corrected date back into the text box.

An explanation of how to use this feature is described in the WinMoney.Wri file.

OK	Causes a list of transactions and the resulting account balances to be shown in a scrolling list box.  A header is generated at the start of each month showing the month/year and balance at the start of the month.

Print	Sends the list to the printer.  The Margins may be set in the Page Layout Dialog available from the File Menu.

Close	Closes this window and returns to the main window.

Help	Displays the Help page for this Window.

Show	Option Buttons enable further selection of entries for display as follows:-

Both	All entries matching the other criteria are shown Both Reconciled or not.

Reconciled	Only entries with the Reconciled flag set are shown.

Not Reconciled	Only entries with the Reconciled flag NOT set are shown.

Worst Case	Shows reconciled entries plus Debits, thereby showing a "Worst Case" situation.  In other words all Debits and only the Credits which are known to have gone through are selected.  The To date is altered if necessary to show either the current date or the date of the last entry in the database whichever is later, thereby allowing for "pending" entries.

Set	Sets the Reconciled flag of the selected (highlighted) entry.

Clear	Clears the Reconciled flag of the selected (highlighted) entry.

Edit	Calls up the Edit Entry Dialog to enable the highlighted entry to be corrected.  This is only available for non-reconciled entries.  Use Clear if necessary.


ANALYSIS Window

Drop-down List Boxes allow selecting Account, Category and Reference.  In each of these one or all may be selected.

The date range covered is selected by putting dates in the From and To text boxes.  The contents of these boxes are checked for a valid date when the OK Button is clicked and an Error Dialog displayed if the text cannot be recognised as a date.  (See Statement )

In Analysis the balances shown are the total amount accrued from the starting date set in the From Date box.  (The balance is zeroed at this date)  These balances are independent of those in the Statement and Reconcilliation Reports and Accounts Summary.

OK	Produces a list of transactions which meet the selected criteria in a scrolling list box.  A header is generated at the start of each month showing the month/year and monthly balance.

Print	Sends the list to the printer.  The Margins may be set in the Page Layout Dialog available from the File Menu.

Close	Closes this window and returns to the main window.

Help	Displays the Help page for this Window.


Prune Dialog

This contains boxes showing the date range to prune plus OK and Cancel buttons.

The starting (From) date is preset to the date of the first Entry.  The ending (To) date is user defined and entered into the To box.  Choosing OK brings up a File SaveAs dialog for the user to choose a name and location for the Archive files.  Once the current data has been saved, a confirmation to proceed dialog box is displayed showing the number of entries to be removed from the database, the number remaining and the number of spaces available for adding new entries.  Choosing Yes will prune the database, updating the account starting balances to allow for the entries removed.  Choosing No returns to the Prune Dialog where a different To date may be entered if required.

During the pruning process the Prune Dialog is displayed with the mouse pointer as the hourglass.  When finished another box is displayed, informing the user of this and providing the option of saving the newly pruned database at this time.  Choosing Yes saves the data to disk using the original dataname.  Choosing No returns to the main window without saving.  In this case the data may be saved later -- a warning is given when closing WinMoney or opening another set of accounts.


Page Layout

PAGE LAYOUT Dialog

This shows the current Printer Settings for Paper Size and Printer Font.  These are not variable from this dialog.  The main purpose of this Dialog is to set the margins (see below).

Some printers have a print starting position which is in from the left edge of the paper and down from the top edge.  To allow for these Print Offsets, Text Boxes are provided in which to enter the Left and Top offset values.  These should be set to suit your printer and should not require alteration unless you change to another printer or change the printer orientation.  (eg. if you change to Landscape the top offset of the printer becomes the Left Offset of the landscape page, and the Top Offset of the page is now the spacing between the printers right-hand print limit and the right edge of the paper.)

To change print Orientation and any other Printer Settings use the Printer Setup option from the File Menu.

The Margins are set using three Text Boxes for Left , Top and Bottom Margin.  These are measured from the edge of the paper with allowance being made within WinMoney for the above Print Offsets.  NOTE:- The Left and Top margins should not be set to less than the corresponding Print Offsets.

Alternatively to setting a Left Margin, the printed text may be centred across the page by checking the Centred Check Box.  This overrides the Left Margin setting which is Grayed out in the Text Box.

OK	Confirm the settings and save them to the WinMoney.INI file.  The Page Layout Dialog is closed and control is returned to the Main Window.

Cancel	Cancels all changes, closes the Dialog and returns to the Main Window.

Help	Displays the Help page for this Dialog.

Choosing Close from the Control Menu Icon or double-clicking the Icon does the same as Cancel.


Registration Dialog

Registration Details Dialog

This is accessed from the Shareware Registration Reminder Screen at startup from the Enter Reg Code button.

When you register WinMoney you quote the name which you would like displayed as your Registered Name and you will be given a Registration Code to enter into the WinMoney Registration Details Dialog.

The Registration Details Dialog consists of two text boxes and two buttons.  Enter your Registered Name and Registration Code in the text boxes exactly as specified.

Press OK to make WinMoney check the details.  If the code has not been entered correctly an error message is displayed and the entry must be re-edited or choose Cancel to close and return to the About WinMoney box.
