1.0 out of 5 stars Inflexible & Uncustomizable, January 28, 2007

This review is from: Big E-Z Home Budget Manager for Microsoft Excel [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

We are very disappointed in this product because it provides almost no options to customize the spreadsheet. We cannot rename catagories that are not applicable to us (i.e., child care), and we cannot create new categories that are specific to our needs. What's even more limiting and disppointing is that you cannot create a different tab for each month to use for comparison, which makes us wonder what value we gain from having a single month of finances captured. Finally, the bar graphs for summary comparisons are shaded the same color of the background which makes it very difficult to read.

Other similar products were too complicated. All I wanted was something simple. I got exactly what I needed to convince myself I had my act together. I found it in this product. Big E-Z Bookkeeping helped me simplify my bookkeeping without the anxiety. It's just enough for my family accounts. Thank You!
