Title	sCheckbook
Description	Simple checkbook or bank account register. I wrote this as a simple way for my daughters to keep track of their money. I feel there are plenty of other full-featured account tracking applications out there and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. As such, there are no fancy features like reporting, etc., nor will there be. The application, however, does offer export to CSV and HTML formats.
Supported OS	Windows 7. Probably works, but not tested on, Windows XP/Vista/8

Download	Portable zip

Hi again,

I was just about to start looking for something like this.
Just one small request, any chance of having the date in dd.mm.yyyy format?

Thanks.

Here you go. Now, as the changelog states, not all formats, including your preferred one, are going to be properly sortable. The default format of yyyy-MM-dd is properly sortable.

Website | Download v1.0.1 - 2012-04-09 + Ability to specify a custom date format as per the following abbreviations: http://www.autohotke...mands/FormatTime.htm To set a custom date format, edit the config.ini file and add a "DateFormat" key to the "Settings" section like this: [Settings] DateFormat=dd.MM.yyyy Keep in mind that this feature does not convert previously entered transactions. Furthermore, not all formats will be properly sortable. The default date format is yyyy-MM-dd.

You sir are a gentleman.

Just had a dry run and it does everything I need, it's a fraction of the size of the program that I have been using and is not cluttered up with countless 'Report' options which I never use anyway.
Sorting is not an issue for me as I get regular hard copies of accounts sent to me, once an item appears on there I remove it from the file.

As ever many thanks.

Hehehe, my daughters couldn't care less about reporting either. All they want to know is, "Dad, how much money do I have in my account?" My wife and I have found, using this "family bank" system, that our girls save their money much better than if they were to have actual cash burning a hole in their pockets. As parents, we also don't give loans to our daughters. If they want something, they have to save their dosh just like we do.

As ever many thanks.

Many thanks for this program - I find it very useful. Good choice of icons too!
Just curious, is the source code available?

And I've noticed two (very minor) bugs:
-the Ctrl-O shortcut doesn't work upon launching the program (it does when a file is already open)
-the update check seems to create an empty .SCB file.

skwire · « **Reply #8 on:** April 16, 2012, 12:20 PM »

Welcome to the site, firace, and thanks for the bug report. The application is closed source; the icons are part of the Fugue icon set. The latest version of sCheckbook should address both bugs. Thanks, again!

Is there a way to auto-open the last used checkbook file?
And to make the path to that file relative/ portable?

-ScreenManiac (October 24, 2014, 01:56 AM)

Yes, this can be done. I'm out of town this week so I'll take care of it when I get back.

-ScreenManiac (October 24, 2014, 01:56 AM)

Ehhh...I'll have to see about this.

Hi, Burnsy, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

Hey skwire. I've been looking for a banking program like this to help keep track of my finances. Does your program work with Windows 10 and does it still work?
-Burnsy (January 25, 2016, 05:07 AM)

I've never used Windows 10 but I would think that sCheckbook will work fine under it.
