I asked this on the techie forum a few days ago. I have downloaded Martin's budget spreadsheet. I dont have Excel but have Open Office. I cant get the spreadsheet to work (something about the macros) but other Excel spreadsheets work fine. I dont have any budgetting software on my computer. Someone in the techie forum directed me to the thread about this but it still hasnt worked.
I desperately want to set this up so that we both (DH and I) know where we are.
So, does anyone know of a free alternative?

There's a free 60 day trial of MS Office 2007 available for download from the Microsoft website.

Thanks both. I went to download some budget software on download.com after looking at Yungs link, then went to MS Office. Have now downloaded it and the bloody thing still doesnt work.

I had the same problem with trying to open it in Open Office as that's what I use on my home PC but I have MS Office on my works laptop so I just opened it on that.
I've started to recreate it in Open Office but been doing a lot of extra work & haven't had time to get much of it done. I have to provide cover at work over Christmas & New Year though & it doesn't look like there will be much on so I'll probably do it then. In the meantime you could make a start using the online version.

I've managed to do it now. I found another version that Tony H posted in a thread about it. Downloaded that one and it works fine.
Brilliant, thanks for your help, got there in the end!
