That would be true except that I want to be able to submit several times a month, but have it still keep track of monthly totals instead of each individual total.
So say on the 2nd of the month, I use $2 from groceries, so I submit it and it takes $2 out - then on the third I take out another $2
My Quicken program will tell me that I have taken out $4 for the month so far, so instead of having to keep up with each transaction, I can update whenever it's convenient. So I would put in $4 for the month on the 3rd, and it would take another $2 out of the 'envelope'.
I know this is somewhat complicated, just an idea I had that I don't know how to program. Thanks for all the help!
