I am a relatively new BB user... I'm still fumbling around my 7290, coming from a Treo 650, and being an overall Palm user since the '90s.

One application that I could not live without on the Treo was called Checkbook 3. It did exactly what I needed it to do. Ascendo Money is the closest thing that I could find, however, there are some basic functions that don't make sense to me.

For instance, when viewing Balance (All), the balance reflects all items, including those post-marked with a future date. To me, the Ascendo solution would normally be to run a filter for all transactions thru today's date, however the filter view does not show a balance total. So, there is no way for me to see a balance of all Paid and Unpaid transactions thru today's date. My ideal situation would be for Money to not take any future dated transactions into consideration when viewing Balance (All) until that date actually occurs. So, for instance, if today is Jan 27 and I enter in a transaction for Feb 12, that item does not get reflected in the total balance until Feb 12.

The other major feature that I miss from my Treo days is some sort of auto-populate function for the Items field. Having to constantly re-type such a field entry seems redundant for such an application.

I also don't necessarily see a reason for populating a time field for each transaction as I don't think banking operates at a minute-by-minute basis... but I could be very wrong.

If these features could be implemented, I know that my Ascendo Money experiences would be significantly improved.
