Recent bug fixes:

You can download Quik Budget 3.2.23 from our download page.

Version 3.2.23 - We fixed a problem with the on-screen number pad when entering a transaction in a Fuel wallet on Treo 650 and newer devices. We also removed PocketPurchase from Quik Budget and made another minor change to the registration scheme of Quik Budget. If you just bought Quik Budget and your code is not working, upgrade to this version.

Version 3.2.22 - Resolved the last of the issues with the onscreen number pad on the Treo 600.

Version 3.2.21 - Changed the relationship between Quik Budget and the QCarDB database so that when Quik Budget is deleted, the QCarDB database will be deleted as well. Note that this only applies to users who never installed Quik Budget prior to this version. Users who installed any earlier version of Quik Budget will still need to delete the QCarDB database seperately if they delete Quik Budget. QCarDB is a database that is only used by Quik Budget.

Version 3.2.20 - Allows Sony Clie TH-55 to display at 320x480 resolution.

Version 3.2.19 - Fixed a bug that caused Quik Budget to not work on the Handera 330. Quik Budget no longer uses the whole screen on the 330 when the virtual graffiti area is hidden.

Version 3.2.18 - Removed an duplicate help button. Also increased the width of the totals at the bottom of the main screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are always happy to receive feedback from users and ideas for new features. In fact, that is the primary reason that Quik Budget has matured so quickly. Just send us email at:

Following are a few common questions we receive:

Q: I installed the latest version of Quik Budget and it didn't ask me what account manager I am using when I installed it. Now the button for the account manager does not show in Quik Budget and the transactions are not being transferred. How do I fix this?

A: Quik Budget now uses plug-ins to interact with account managers. ANL, BankBook, Complete Finance, SplashMoney and PocketMoney have the plug-in built into their programs and nothing more should be required. Make sure you have the latest version of their program to be sure that you have the version with the plug-in. Qmate, MAM and the Ultrasoft products do not yet have the plug-in built in. You can find them here:

Q: Where can I find a copy of the Quik Budget user's manual?

A: We have a text-only manual here: http://quiksense.com/Text/QB_Manual.htm and a pdf manual here: http://quiksense.com/QuikBudget/QuikBudget.pdf

**************************************

Q: Where can I get some typical budget numbers?

A:One of the best ways to find the numbers that are best for you is to start with everything set to zero. Then just use Quik Budget for a month or two and see how negative the numbers get. Also, you might want to read "Your Money or Your Life" (Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, Penguin Books, $12.95.) This came highly recommended by a QB user.

Q: I recently registered Quik Budget for my palm and I love it. My wife and I are using Quik Budget and syncing with each other to keep a complete picture of our budget. Unfortunately the registration code I received only works with my Palm. Is there any way to get a second registration code at a reduced rate for family members?

A: We sell the second copy for $15.99 on our main site. You can get purchase details here: http://www.QuikSense.com/QuikBudget/family.htm (not text only).

**************************************

Q: What are the Quik Budget databases and where are they stored on the computer I sync to?

A: The location of the files varies depending on what brand of device you have. Find out where the Palm Desktop software is installed. In that folder is a folder with your Palm user name or something similar to it. If your user name is John Smith, it will probably be smithj. Inside that folder is a folder called Backup. All of the databases and program files from your device are backed up here. For Sony and Palm devices, the files are probably here:

C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld\[username]\Backup
C:\Palm\[username]\Backup

Here is a list of the databases:

QBWalletsDB.pdb
QBCurrencyDB.pdb
QBExpensesDB.pdb
QCarDB.pdb

**************************************

Q: Do I have to pay $20 again if I install an upgrade for Quik Budget?

A:No, all upgrades are free.
