    There are two budgets on the page and then a simple expenditure table and the menu planner is the last item there.

    I'm really sorry... it all works absolutely as it should from where I am and I have absolutely no idea how to help you any further.

    Well it is a worry. I'm wondering how many other people have had problems and just given up without saying anything. I've checked and re-checked and I can't find any odd behaviour at all.

    It's a dead simple page and a dead simple download. No fancy bells or whistles or anything.

    It should darn well work!

    Dash it all!

    :(

    I could email it direct to you if you like? Just PM me and I'll sort it.

    That's the first budget spreadsheet! Are you telling me it downloads from the last item on the page which is labelled monthly menu planner? Or were you deliberatley downloading that spreadsheet?

    Edit: In budget spreadsheet #1 sheets 2 and 3 are blank for me too. Sorry about the confusion, but the problem seems to be with the menu planner. Could you give that a go please and see if it's OK?

    :)

    Right. So if two of us can download it and save it the problem is more likely to be at arkonites's end, er, that sounds rude :)

    Thank you for helping test things for us :)
