Default Good Design Tutorials

WStoreyII, I'll address one of your questions: the database design. Note
that Access itself ships with a database template called "ledger," which
does some of what you describe below. You might want to create a test
database based on that template so you can study the design. It seems to me
that if you add a "categories" piece to it (and you can study the Northwind
sample database for that), you would have most of what you a looking for.

The Ledger template is also available on Microsoft's Web Site, under Office
Templates Finance and Accounting.

Hello,

Before i begin I wish to give thanks in advance for any help that this

group will supply me with.

I have been racking my mind trying to make a program to manage my

expenses.
I had originally started with trying to make a ledger program in vb.net

now this is not the problem nor my question
basically i made the mistake of not planning the project out properly as i

most likely should have.

Now that i have wasted all of my time I am ready to try to plan this

project out.
so my question is that since i am new and have never done this before if
A) there are any good plain english tutorial that could help me with the

database side design of this project and
B) if any one has any suggestions on a desing

see the problem with my origianl idea the ledger was that i want to keep

track of all income and expenses
and i wish to build a category list of sorts so that every expense

transaction will have a category attached to it that way i can keep track of
what my money is being spent on

now i know what you are thinking i should probably just by ms money or

quicken and leave you folks alone
however
a) i do not wish to spend the money on it
b) i want to learn how to do this sort of stuff and seeing as this is a

project that i need i figured it was a good place to start
i have the basic mechanics of the programing element down i just need

a solid design plan before i start.

Thanks Again for any help and/or suggestions given

Have a Great Day!!!!

WStoreyII
