It would appear that expense information could easily be prepared using
access; however, I could not find one online. One reason is that there could
be a number of expense categories. I do not believe it is useful to have to
chase it down on a spreadsheet and then to sum it up by each category.

Do you have a question, Bunkie?

Access is not an expense account application; it's a development
environment. An expense account application which sums by category
(using Totals queries) could certainly be built in Access, but it's
not "out of the box" functionality.

Sure, you develop something and just forget it once it is completed. Is that
what you mean by development purposes. I use a database for redundant
inputs.

No, I just want a simple database to use it for redundant expenses and
mileage information so I can get an easy to use report. This will not be an
accounting package.

I also know that accounting packages such as quicken, quickbooks are
databases. t I do not go to that program every day to enter mileage and daily
work expenses.

I can see a very good usage for a {limited} database for expenses and to
includie mileage and purpose.

Again:

Do you have a question?

Are you asking one of the unpaid volunteers here to develop and send
you a database to do this? Sorry. That's beyond what I'm up for on a
free support forum.

Are you trying to design such a database yourself? If so, we'll be
glad to help, but we need to ascertain what you have done, and what
you're having trouble with.

So far you have stated your goal, and not asked specifically for help.
We'll be glad to help, but need to know what you want US to do for
you.

Thank you, you answered my question totally. Go back to sleep and earn your
money. I do not like Microsoft.
