Hi Guys,

Following a post I made in the WF it seems there is a need for a "Basic" accounting spreadsheet......something a newbie can use to keep tabs on their home business costs etc.

I have spent the last couple of days putting one together with a focus on budgeting and am offering it as a freebie to all PIPS members.

It runs on open office and so you would need to grab a copy of that first before being able to use it. OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite - this is also free by the way.

You can then download the spreadsheet http://the-newbie-manuals.com/accounting/accounting.ods or http://the-newbie-manuals.com/accounting/accounting.zip

It takes a few minutes to load into open office so please be patient.

I would be grateful of any feedback and any problems, also if you think it is useful to you any testimonials would be appreciated.

I have down loaded your spreadsheet however, I am using os2.4 and you are probably using 3.0 or higher and for some reason I keep getting an unknown error and it fails to load.

Any suggestons. I have had problems with 3.0 giving me virous errors and unable to run is the reason I have not updated to a higher version yet. Hopefully when Kubuntu comes out with their new os this month it will have the 3.0.

Sorry to hear about your problems with OS .....yes I am using 3.0 and I just checked to see if it would save in any older versions, but it won't unfortunately.

Thanks for trying anyway.

A short update, I have had numerous requests for an XL version and have now added this to the download page - in my signature-
it supports XL 97/2000

You wouldn't believe this but the OO2.4 would not open the odt files has the unknown error. I however downloaded the xls version and low and behold OO2.4 opened it with out bating an eye. It looks interesting to say the least and I Will check it out very close to see if I put it to good use.

Thanks
