No, there isn't any budgeting support in GnuCash at the moment; 1.8 is scheduled for a 2/5 release, and will not include such a feature. If someone steps up to the plate, budgeting could [and should] make it into 2.0 ... I had been hoping to work on it for quite a while, but scheduled transactions have taken all that time. Luckily, some pieces of the Scheduled Transactions effort [including the fact that users can create scheduled transactions, let alone the UI/engine frequency specification and some of the supporting UI code] will be directly applicable to a budgeting subsystem. I doubt that I will have any free time to work on such a thing until next fall at the earliest, but I have thought a lot about how it should work, and would be happy to bounce ideas around regarding design and implementation. We should have a 2.0-kickoff thread [scoping and planning] soon after 1.8.0's release. ...jsled -- http://www.asynchronous.org - `a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo ${a}@${b}` jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ:4983267, {AIM,YIM}:joshsled _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
