Quik Budget for QMate

A Quick Overview

Working together with Steve Dakin, author of QMate, we have created a special version of Quik Budget with integrated QMate support. It works with QMate 1.5 and later.

You no longer have to choose between QMate and Quik Budget. Using this version of Quik Budget, everytime you create a transaction, you can choose a QMate account and Quik Budget will automatically create a record in QMate as well. If you later edit the transaction in Quik Budget, it will be changed in QMate and your QMate account balances will be adjusted properly. The combination of these two programs is very powerful. QMate effectively becomes an Account module for Quik Budget and Quik Budget becomes a budget module for QMate.

This is currently a one-way street. If you modify transactions in QMate, the corresponding transaction in Quik Budget is not updated. Steve is currently working on Quik Budget support in QMate and plans to include this support in an upgrade to version 1.5 available in early April, 1999.

What exactly is QMate and where do I get it?

QMate is a Quicken companion for the Palm Connected Organizer. It allows you to enter financial transactions on your Palm handheld and quickly synchronize them with your Quicken data. For more information about QMate please see the QMate home page.
