i already upgraded to Spb Finance 2.0 hoping that things would be better...

unfortunately, not...

there must be something wrong with the Synchronization because some items never get synced - and it thus happens that either my balance goes down a bit, or goes up (say from 7,000 yen to 40,000 yen - where did i get the extra 33,000 yen?)...

and this happens around every week, every two weeks - that i spend TOO MUCH time just fixing what is wrong

---

are there more reliable cash softwares out there?

i guess it was also my fault - i was just being stingy on a few dollars, and so i settled for Spb Finance...

should have gotten CO... and saved myself lots of lost time

*sigh*

PS: does CO work being installed in BIS/Persistent Storage?

thanks!!!

i only realized this now - i was setting up a split transaction, and when i was going to categorize each of the split item, the category window was so SMALL that i could only make out half of the word/description...

*as in duh!?!*

BIS?? Just wondering what that means specifically.

However, the CO companion product that I've been evaluating does work when installed on a storage card and it appears to sync without any problem at all for me.

It does take a while to sync the first time but that's expected if you have a fair bit of data.

BIS (Built In Storage)... I do not see why it would not work there. I also have mine on a storage card... and I save my backups to BIS... so I do not see why it would be an issue.
