Has anyone tried to download the pocket pc expense software from Microsoft powertoys. I seem to be able to download it but when I try to unzip the file it keeps telling me the file is corrupt.
Any suggestions as to were else I may be able to download what seems to be a great FREE application.

I downloaded, installed, and used it on my Axim... but it's really quite poor I'd say. Best to go with the full MS Money & pocket, or another such expense program.

Did you just recently download it or previously download it. I've tried again and keep getting the same corrupt message. Thanks for the review. Maybe I shouldn't even bother if it's not that great but I really just need a simple expense manager. Right now I'm using pocket excel to keep track of things.

Recently... hard to give any troubleshooting as it was a pretty straightforward installation. Honestly I think you may be better off with Excel.

I'll send you a PM in a few min, check it if you can.

Money is always better, but I use both Money and Expense. Expense is great for taking my expense info and populating direct to my expense spreadsheets to submit for reimbursement. Double entry, yes, but ease of filling out expense sheets is worth it.

I tried the MS expense program and frankly it is crap.

A much better program is EZ Expense. http://www.softpocketsolutions.com/

It's much easier to use and doesn't lose data like the MS Expense program.
