Change-Log

2023-09-30 Released v2.2.9

//

2.2.9 beta started 2021-08-13
// 2021-09-07 : In “View Transactions YTD”, put an “Accounts” filter in to select one account.
// 2021-10-25 : In “View Transactions for One Fund” report, the printed report labels did not show the amounts for Expenses and Income totals.
// Also, the Amount Column was right next to the Payee column with no space. Corrected these things.
// 2021-10-31 Fixed : A long standing bug that I have seen, but have not been able to replicate until now. (See 2020-01-09 Fixed I Think : In “Reconcile Transactions”)
// When a transaction was reconciled and then immediately the transaction grid was traversed with the up/down arrows, every time the up or
// down arrow was pressed, the StringGrid.clicked procedure would be invoked. I found this accidentally by working on another update in
// an other area. To solve this, I set the current selected cell to one just left of the reconciled column check boxes.
// 2023-07-25 DateTimePicker quit working correctly after computer upgrade and lazarus reinstall. Changed
// to DateEdit control in Edit transaction form24 and in Transactions form9.
// 2023-07-25 In Reconcile Transactions Form25 widened bank balance field Edit1.
// 2023-09-23 Have Simple Budget export the pdf of the “Funds Detail Report” every time Simple Budget data file is saved.
// It is called “Current Funds Detail Report.pdf” and is in the Reports folder.
// 2023-09-25 : Fixed minor print formatting bugs. Summary totals not showing up, colors, etc.
// 2023-09-25 : Fixed bug in “View Transactions for One Fund” that caused form to reset when the “Print” button was pushed.
// 2023-09-26 Fixed : In “View Budget Amounts” report, if there are not funds, Simple Budget will display a notice that there are no funds, then it will
// show an empty funds report. Should go back to main SB window instead.
// 2023-09-26 Fixed : In “Generate PDF reports” if there are no funds, or accounts, two (3) reports are generated and an (8) report. Should probably not even
// be able to get to the “Generate PDF Reports” form if there are not at least one fund and one account. Pop up a notification.
// 2023-09-28 : Fixed several bugs in the “Generate PDF Reports” routines. Found a major hidden bug in the “View Budget Amounts” report that
// caused a crash as one string grid accidentally referred to another string grid’s parameter. Several of these bugs only shown
// when a new budget was created with no funds, or no budgets, or no accounts, or no transactions. Edge cases. Except the “View
// Budget Amounts” grid reference bug.
// 2023-09-30 Released 2.2.9

2021-08-13 Released v2.2.8

// 2.2.8 beta started 2021-04-07
// 2021-05-04 : In View Fund Balances report, separated Income Funds and Expense Funds into separate grids.
// 2021-05-07 : Printed report for Fund Balances modified to match the displayed report.
// 2021-05-07 : In View Fund Details, separated Income Funds and Expense funds. Did it by sorting the single stringgrid in different ways. It made things much simpler and didn’t have to modify the printer report also. But, the way Windows and Linux sorts + and – is different so had to add an additional column to stringGrid1 to help sort income/expense funds.
// 2021-05-08 : View Funds YTD. Did as above using sorting rather than separate stringgrids. Deleted sort by “Type” button as it is always sorted by type (Income/Expense) now.
// 2021-05-08 : View Funds YTD Details. Did as above using sorting rather than separate stringgrids.
// 2021-05-08 : Budget –> Funds. Did as above using sorting rather than separate stringgrids. Also changed a label from Spending fund to Expense Fund and changed order with Income Fund label.
// 2021-05-19 : In “Transaction -> Transactions/Transfers, separated Income Funds from Expense Funds in the Funds lists. Previously all of the funds were in straight alphabetical order with the Income funds mixed up with the Expense funds. If the “Expense / Debit” button is pushed (default), Expense Funds are listed first with the Income Funds at the end of the list. If the “Income / Credit” button is pushed, Income Funds are placed at the top with Expense funds following after that. If the “Funds Transfer” button is pushed, both Funds lists have the Income Funds placed first, followed by the Expense Funds. Fixed minor bug to assure a selected fund will be in the display somewhere rather than down the list off the display.
// 2021-05-21 // Adjusted the printed form summary of View/Reports -> View Fund Details -> Transactions: One Fund -> printed report Part of it was truncated with longer Fund names.
// 2021-05-21 // in “Edit Transaction” made the “edit” button larger with “Edit” caption larger and color black.
// 2021-05-21 // in “Delete” Transactions” made the “delete” button larger with “Delete” caption larger and color black
// 2021-05-26 : In “View Fund Balances” adjusted stringgrid anchors and other constraints for proper resizing of window.
// 2021-06-05 : Started changing areas in all units so the default budget file name can be changed. Refer to all places for now as constant “DefaultBudgetFileName”. But, YTD Funds Details report does not work and YTD Transactions report does not work yet.
// 2021-06-11 Fixed : After clicking “next” on payee in put in the “Transactions/Transfers” screen and pressing “Enter”, the transaction is not entered. Need to check other “next” buttons also. Fixed this by setting focus to the “Enter Transaction” button in all of the “Next” button click procedures.
// 2021-06-11 : When opening a backup budget file, I put in a ShowMessage dialog explaining that it can be used to restore the current data file and when the file is saved, or Simple Budget is exited, the user will be given an option to replace the current data file or discard any changes to the backup file.
// 2021-06-22 : In “View Funds Details” report, in “Current Balance” column, if an expense balance is < $0.00, then highlight it red.
//2021-08-10 Fixed : View Funds YTD Detail report crashed. One account, one transaction few funds, current month may 2021, only archived month Feb 2021. The problem is that the budget has been started over (new CURRENT.SB). It has less budget funds than the archives so it crashes. when a budget is started over (new CURRENT.SB) need to somehow change subsequent filenames so reports will not look at old budget reports. Maybe when a new budget starts, name it CURRENT2104 (21-year, 04-month) or something like that. Fixed it by renaming the current data file location “*_deleted_DateAndTime” then closes. (All old files are preserved in the renamed directory)
// The next time Simple Budget is opened, it reinitializes in the original location.
// 2021-08-13 Released 2.2.8

2021-04-07 Released v2.2.7

// 2.2.7 beta started 2021-03-03
// 2021-03-04 Fixed : In “View Fund Details” report, on the printed report under the “% of Bgt” column for “Income Funds” the display shows 0%. Changed to the % of Bgt that the “Income Fund” is, as in the bar graph display on the “non-printed” report page. Made it a positive number since it really wants to be a negative number.
// 2021-03-12 : Added an option to generate pdf 10 main reports when doing a “New Period”, Also put an option in “View/Reports” to run them anytime. It generates ten main month reports and places them in a subfolder of the current data location called “Reports”. Checkboxes pop up that the user can check or uncheck which reports he wants to be generated.
// 2021-03-25 : Make one account a default account. Use Astat: Integer; // Status, 0=deleted, 1=active, 2=default. If an account is set as default, that account is selected by default in entering transactions. In “Budgets -> Accounts” form, added checkboxes next to account names. If one is checked, all others get unchecked. And, the one checked can be “unchecked” to clear any default account. Even though this effects how data is stored, it does not cause a problem with any older versions so a major version change is not necessary.
// 2021-03-28 Fixed : In “View Fund Details” the sort by Exp % button doesn’t turn invisible when listing transactions.
// 2021-04-01 : When a new version comes out, with new features, display a form telling about them. The form will be shown
// whenever a different version number is detected. It can also be seen by selecting “What’s New?” in the “Help” menu.
// 2021-04-07 Released 2.2.7

2021-01-06 Released v2.2.6

// 2.2.6 beta started 2021-01-06
// 2021-01-08 : In Funds YTD Report, changed “Start of month/ budget” to Month Start. Also adjusted the printer report. Also, the printed report preview said “Payee Report”. Corrected that.
// 2021-01-09 : Labeled titles of several printer reports that were incorrect or missing.
// 2021-01-09 : Added summary to bottom of printed report for “Transactions for One Fund”.
// 2021-01-09 : In “View Fund Details” report for ONE fund, put current fund total on summary also.
// 2021-01-11 : In View/Reports – View Fund Details, have a summary of Debt, credit, transfer out, and transfer in.
// 2021-01-11 : In “View Fund Details” report for ONE fund, put print option even though the same can be gotton by “List Trans for one fund” report.
// 2021-01-14 : In “Fund Detail Report” added “% of budget spent” and a little bar graph next to it. It does not effect printed report.
// 2021-01-21 : Created “Portable” version of Simple Budget. Place all files in a folder, and execute “simplebudgetportable” or “simplebudgetportable.exe” in that folder. On first run, it will create a folder called “SBData” under the current folder where the data files and special help files are stored. SimpleBudget Portable will be beta. When compiling, set constant “Portable” = true; and under Lazarus IDE, change build mode to “Portable Release”.
// 2021-01-25 : In “View Funds YTD Detail Report” add the yearly percent of total income, for each fund. This, and monthly average will aid in setting up the proper budget amounts in a new year, or when adjusting.
// 2021-01-28 : Added an experimental form to reconcile transactions using a CSV file downloaded from the bank. This is very experimental. There are several stipulations, and the only CSV format I know of is from my bank.
// 2021-01-29 : In Experimental Reconcile routine, added a search to see if the Simple Budget Transaction “Note” is in the CSV file. This way, even if the Payee doesn’t match up, a note can be added that match up with a transaction in the CSV file. That would be something the Simple Budget user would add deliberately to help with CSV reconciliation.
// 2021-02-04 : Fixed bug in “View Funds YTD Details” report where program checks deleted funds to see if every month is zero or ” (no activity during the month) so it can be deleted from the SringGrid. It failed to check December.
// 2021-02-04 : In “View Funds YTD Details” added to the last column of the report, the percent of the “Average Monthly Inc/Exp” compared to the last month’s monthly budget. ((Average Monthly Inc/Exp) / (Monthly Budget Amount)) * 100 = %
// 2021-02-11 : In Experimental Reconcile routine, added some “Fuzzy Logic” to match Simple Budget transactions with transactions in the CSV file. Added a scoring method to automatically reconcile a transaction.
// 2021-02-12 : In “View all transactions for one fund”, spread data across bottom of stringgrid like in “Funds Details Report”-“View one fund” Also changed some coloring and wording to match the “View Details Fund” – “One Fund” report.
// 2021-02-25 : In “View Funds Detail” report, it printed report, changed “Profit/Loss” to “Net Total:” to match screen report.
// 2021-02-27 : In “View Funds Detail report” put a sort button that will sort by %of monthly budget spent. Set the sort to “Descending” (Greater to least) so the funds with the most “over budget” spending are at the top. Also added a column in the printer report to display the percent amount also.
// 2021-02-27 : In “View Funds Detail Report”, spread out some bottom summary labels because sometimes they would overlap.
// 2021-03-03 Done : In archived reports, delete label that says “as of -date-” since they are all for the complete month selected. Will have to do this for almost every report. And printed reports.
// 2021-03-03 Done – View Fund Balances

2021-01-06 Released v2.2.5

// 2.2.5 beta started 2020-07-27
// 2020-07-27 : In “View All Unreconciled Trans” report, if there are no unreconciled transactions, I added a message box indicating that there are no unreconciled transactions and I put “fund” in the title instead of “transactions”. Fixed it.
// 2020-10-05 : Initialize “BetaS” to ”.
// 2020-10-31 Fixed : In View/Reports, View Budget Amounts, Printed report, the Expense Fund title on the second page shows “Income Fund”. Also, the Income Fund, Budget column was mis-labeled as Fund/Account
// 2020-11-06 : On the main Simple Budget form, the icons for “Budget” and “Reports” were reversed. Corrected it.
// 2021-01-04 Fixed : In “Fund Detail Report” when mouse over a fund to display the fund graph, the date on the title is the “current” year rather than the year of the Detail Report that is being viewed. Changed Chart1.Title to include “SelectedDate” instead of “Date”
// 2021-01-05 : In several spots that sort Transactions by “Date” by default, change that to “Original” (As Entered).
// : Change “Original” to “As Entered” in various sort buttons.
// 2021-01-05 – Transactions – Edit
// 2021-01-05 – Transactions – Delete
// 2021-01-05 – Transactions – Reconcile
// 2021-01-05 – View – All Transactions
// 2021-01-05 – View – All Unreconciled Transactions
// 2021-01-05 Fixed : In Transactions ->Transfers, the description field in the lower half is not cleared out if the screen is exited then back in. The upper transaction grid is cleared, which might give a false idea that the transaction will have the text as entered in the lower part. Must clear the lower part upon form entering.
// 2021-01-05 Fixed : In “View Budget Funds” “Bar Chars”, when the “Print” button is pushed, and the print preview is displayed, the chart gets resorted by “Fund”. Might need a “FirstTime” boolean to make sure parent form isn’t repeating “FormActivate” routine. Also did some initializations and minor formatting of the form.
// 2021-01-05 : in Year To date Fund Details Report, added “Average” to Exp/Inc totals. Also added it to the print report.
// 2021-01-05 : Changed number of backup files from 10 to 20 since everytime Simple Budget is saved, it makes a backup, so even if there were no changes, an addtional backup is made. This helps to have a good backup even if Simple Budget is opened several times (ex. looking at reports) with no changes.
// 2021-01-05 : Under the Help menu, added a command to open a file browser in the Simple Budget data files directory.
// 2021-01-06 Fixed : In “Edit Transactions” if the transaction is a “Fund” or “Account” Transfer, the proper fund/account names do not appear in the dropdowns.
// 2021-01-06 Released 2.2.5

2020-07-27 Released v2.2.4

// 2.2.4 beta started 2020-02-19
// 2020-04-10 : Main simple budget form was not “inactive” when other forms were on top. I only noticed this on ubunt with gnome desktop. It did not do it in kubuntu. Not sure about other version or windows. The mainform .visible was set to false so the splash screen would display without a window behind it. Set visible to true (actually commented out the line) solved the problem. Main window is now visible behind splash screen but guess that is ok.
// 2020-04-28 : In Transactions form, need to clear input fields when saving, or canceling because the preexisting text is still in the fields.
// 2020-04-28 : In Transactions form, highlight the input value field (CalcEdit2) on form initialization, and when adding splits.
// Works? : In Transactions form, if a payee is typed in the entry field and enter is pressed, the transactions is not processed.
// 2020-04-28 : In View All Unreconciled Transactions, relabel Expenses to “Expenses (Debits)” and Income to “Income (Credits)”
// 2020-04028 Fixed : In Transactions (at least in Windows) need to double click the transaction type or cancel. Will have to check on other areas and if it does it in Linux. (It tried to set focus on calendar then on calcedit2)
// 2020-04028 Fixed : In Transactions, when a split is cleared CalcEdit2’s original amount stays the same, but the first line in the transactions grid is 0.00 and hard to get it to a price. Probably need to clear CalcEdit2.
// 2020-04-28 : In “View Funds YTD Detail” individual graph’s “Print” button changed caption to “Print (P)”
// 2020-05-21 Fixed : In Transactions, when the type of transaction radio button is pressed, and there is an amount entered in the amount field, the information grid amount will display 0.00. If the radio button is pressed for a longer time, the information grid will show the correct amount.
// 2020-06-18 Fixed : In View Funds YTD Detail, Label1 shows the total expense of a fund when the graph is shown by hovering mouse over the fund name column. But the label would remain visible all the time, even when View Funds YTD Detail window was closed and reopened. This label is used in the report graph for the individual fund (P). Set label1 to invisible so it can still be used, but not visible on the form window.
// 2020-06-18 Fixed : In View Transactions for One Fund, when a fund’s transactions is displayed, several lines of information are displayed on the lower right. The last four lines do not move with the rest if the window is resized. Also, if the form is closed (not “view another fund” button), those four lines appear on the mother window.
// 2020-07-01 : In Transactions, the debit “Funds” grid was supposed to be sorted with the first in the list selected. A non-first entry was always selected. Fixed.
// 2020-07-01 : In Transactions, in Funds Transfer or Accounts Transfer, when a description was entered, that field would always retain the last entry even when the form was exited and reentered. Initialized Edit5 each time the Transactions form was activiated.
// 2020-07-01 : In Transactions, changed the label “Description” for Fund and Account Transfers to “Note” to match everywhere else in SimpleBudget. Label19 and Label23.
// 2020-07-27 Fixed : In “View All Unreconciled Trans” report, if there are no unreconciled transactions, get error ‘”” is an invalid integer.’ and it asks to abort or OK.
// 2020-07-27 Released 2.2.4

2020-02-19 Released v2.2.3

// 2.2.3 beta started 2020-02-05
// 2020-02-05 : Fixed report for “View Funds Details” so the printed report will have the proper colors.
// 2020-02-17 : In Transactions, when closing the calendar on DateTimePicker2, CalcEdit2 (Amount field) is focused.
// 2020-02-18 Fixed : Regression bug. In adjusting “View Fund Details” report, caused the “Fund Names” in the graphs to be replaced with either a – or a (+). Had to fix for both “Expense” and “Income” graphs.
// 2020-02-19 Released 2.2.3

2020-02-05 Released v2.2.2

// 2.2.2 beta started 2020-01-31
// 2020-01-31 In “Reconcile Transactions” found and fixed a bug that did not highlight “not reconciled transactions from previous periods” The highlight was correct when a sort was done but not the initial display.
// 2020-02-03 : Fixed a typo in a message box in “Delete Transaction”.
// 2020-02-03 : Fixed labels (Label2) in “View YTD Transactions”
// 2020-02-03 Fixed: In “View Transactions for One Fund” sometimes the “Next” button is missing for the fund search.
// 2020-02-03 Fixed : In “Edit Transaction” it is possible to edit a part of a “Split” transaction and make that part a different type of transaction like change from expense to deposit, or transfer. If this happens, needs to disconnect it from the split transaction and display a warning.
// 2020-02-03 : Changed colors in displayed and printed reports as follow:
// – In transactions lists, “Debit” and “debit Amounts” – Red
// “Transfers” – Blue
// “Credits” remain black
// “Transactions UNreconciled in previous periods” highlighted gray/white
// – In Fund lists, “Expense” funds – Red.
// “Income” funds remain Black.
// – added some labels in some reports to clarify colors.
// 2020-02-05 : Fixed minor bug in “View All Transactions” that displayed “Split ID” different than in other places.
// 2020-01-27 Released v2.2.2

2020-01-27 Released v2.2.1

// 2020-01-26 A user reported the following: “When I click on Transactions/Transfers. It says “Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window. Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press abort to kill the program.” The program would crash when trying to open “Transactions/Transfers” with an account name as “Cash”. I was able to reproduce this on my Ubuntu snap. Not sure if it has to do with the actual name “Cash” but I was able to do it with that name. It seemed to have to do with the focusing of StringGrid4 in “Transactions/Transfers” Removed the “SetFocus” on StringGrid4. I could NEVER get this to happen in my development version (In Lazarus IDE or running on real metal (not snap) but only in the Linux Snap.

Thank you Tammy for reporting this bug!

// 2020-01-27 Released v2.2.1

2020-01-11 Released v2.2.0

// 2.2.0 beta started 2020-01-01
// 2020-01-01 Fixed : In “View Budget Amounts”, everytime the form would open, all funds would are added again for each time the form is opened. Need to reset the StringGrids at form activation.
// 2020-01-01 Fixed : The copyright on the “About” page shows 2019 – xxxx where xxxx is the year of the file that is opened and not the current year.
// 2020-01-09 Fixed I Think : In “Reconcile Transactions” there has been a long standing bug that randomly checked and unchecked reconciled check boxes. It seems that it might involve the search bar. When a search is done, it seems like the first transaction on the list will get reconciled or unreconciled. Others happen at random too. Maybe depends on where the search lies, or what row is selected when search is done. I think I fixed it by searching only relevant columns, not any hidden ones and not the reconciled column.
// 2020-01-11 : Added a “Year To Date Transactions” report. Options to select a single fund, and select “from” and “to” dates to list. Also added the printed report.
// 2020-01-11 Released v2.2.0

// 2019-12-28 Fixed : In Transactions in Expense Transactions, if there is a split and the first row (or any above the last row) is selected and the payee is changed, only those above it are changed.
// 2019-12-31 : In “Transactions” try to simplify it all. Put all data in lower half of screen. Put “Next” button on search areas. In payee search, have option to accept as typed if not found to add new payee. Make the “Transaction Grid” all read-only. Remove upper calendar, and amount spots.
// 2019-12-31 : Still need to wire up the “Next” button for the above, and add a “Next” button for the “Fund” grids. & make them invisible when not needed.
// 2019-12-29 : and need to initialize everything for all radio buttons.
// 2019-12-31 : Set tab orders too.
// 2020-01-01 : Rewrote Add Payees stuff for Income/Credit transactions. Can save more than one payees in Income/Credit transactions.
// 2020-01-01 Fixed : In “Transactions” in “Income/Credit” transaction, only the first transactions “New Payee” is stored. If there is more than one, the others are not stored.

// 2.1.7 beta started 2019-12-12
// 2019-12-13 : Set constraints and anchors on forms and objects in forms for resizing and having controls stay where they are supposed to be.
// 2019-12-13 : Adjusted the help tab for “New Period” changes. Set “Print” button on “overview” help page to “invisible” until it does something useful.
// 2019-12-19 mostly done : Added “Print” ability to all of the graphs/charts. Need to clean up labels and print preview options

// 2019-12-19 : If a backup is opened and when Simple Budget tries to save the file, it asks the user if they want to restore it as the current budget file “CURRENT.SB”. If it does, it renames it “CURRENT.SB” otherwise it is not saved.

// 2019-12-10 : Adjusted the “New Month” and “New Year” so that it doesn’t skip a month if Simple Budget is neglected for more than a month. The way it is now, is that it can skip months if “New Month” hasn’t been processed, and this will goof up the monthly budget amounts since they won’t be added for the skipped months.
Replaced “New Month” and “New Year” with “New Period” that will detect if it is a new month or a new year. Simple Budget now advances the period by 1 month even it is behind. That way, the budget can be “caught up to date” without starting over.
// 2019-12-12 : Added “View Budget Amounts” report that displays “Fund Name” and “Budget Amount” and if balanced or not
// 2019-12-12 Released v2.1.6

2019-12-08 Released v2.1.5

// 2.1.5 beta started 2019-11-23
// 2019-11-24 : In “View Fund Balances” adjusted the “Start” of month NOT to include the monthly Budget. Made Budget amount for “Income” a negative number. Moved the (+) for Income funds to infront of the Fund Names. Adjusted various StrinGrid1 references in form and report because of that column change.
// 2019-11-24 : In “View Fund Balances” in pie chart, changed the chart titled “View Start Balances” to something like “View Start Balances (Plus Budget)”
// 2019-11-24 Fixed : It seems that if a sample budget fund is opened, then another budget file of any kind is opened, when going to close that file, Simple Budget thinks it is a sample budget file and asks about saving it as “Current.SB”. Set SampleFile:=False if the newly retrieved file is not a sample file.
// 2019-11-26 Fixed : In “Edit Transaction” when editing a transaction, the “Fund” and “Account” fields can be changed by typing in them. The typed text is not saved, but should not be able to type in them as the Fund and Account MUST be from the list shown. Had to set Edit3 and Edit4 to Read Only
// 2019-11-27 : Changed the verse on the intro screen to Luke 14:28-30 (MSG)
// 2019-11-27 : Changed a couple of buttons in the help screens that go to http://mcdougallshome.net/simplebudget to show the URL.
// 2019-11-27 : Added a button on the intro screen that goes to http://mcdougallshome.net/simplebudget
// 2019-11-30 : Changed the url’s on the intro screen and the help screens to http://simplebudget.mcdougallshome.net
// 2019-12-02 Fixed : When a “Sample Budget File” is selected and the form is closed by the “X”, even if the user says not to save it, a popup says it has been saved, even though it hasn’t been.
// 2019-12-04 Fixed : In the “View Funds Details” report, when “Transactions for one fund” or “Transactions for all funds” buttons are pushed and the report is display, the “Charts” buttons and panel still show. These should be invisible while transaction reports are showing.
// 2019-12-04 Fixed : Also in “View Funds Details” the “sort” buttons should not be visible when the main stringgrid is not showing. Also had to add “visible” code in the “close” button and the close form because when it went back to the “View Funds Detail” main page, they were still invisible if the close button the a subform was pressed.
// 2019-12-08 Fixed : If Simple Budget tries to open a non simple budget file, it complains and says it is an invalid version, but simple budget keeps the invalid file path and name and if simple budget is saved or exited and saved automatically, that file will be over written by a blank (new) simple budget file. Resolved by asking to open another file, or quit simple budget.
// 2019-12-08 Released v2.1.5

2019-11-23 Released v2.1.4

// 2.1.4 beta started 2019-11-20
// 2019-11-20 Added “View All Reconciled Transactions” report.
// 2019-11-20 Fixed a small bug in “Transactions” that checked the “Save new Payee” and “Save Fund” checkboxes when Radiobutton2 (Income) was clicked.
// 2019-11-21 Fixed : In Transactions, if there is a zero amount for a Fund or Account Transfer, there is no error reported and a zero amount transaction is entered.
// 2019-11-21 Fixed : In Transactions, if radiobutton2 (Income) is clicked and there is an error, it all resets and goes to the default of radiobutton1 (expense) and clears everything. Would like it to stay on Income and NOT clear everything out, so the error can be corrected and proceed.
// 2019-11-21 Fixed : In Transactions, because I changed it so it does not change back to “Expense” radiobutton1 on every error, when there was an error in “Transfer Funds” Radiobutton3, it caused an account name to pop up in the “transfer to fund” spot. (edit3)
// 2019-11-21 Fixed : calculator does not open now. ??? If copied from a fat32 thumb drive it does not set the execute bit in linux.
// 2019-11-21 Fixed : In Reconcile Transactions, if there is a Account Transfer, the B account inputbox doesnt do anything (to see if it balances with the bank. Had a lot of references to account in column A when it should have referenced the account in column b.
// 2019-11-21 : In Transactions, color coded label5 “Expense Transaction”, “Income”, and “Transfers’. Also added a colored “Enter Transaction” button using a panel. Made Expense – red, Income – Green, Transfers – Blue

// 2019-11-20 Fixed : Can’t get this to do it in Windows. Changed a minor thing and need to try in linux.In “View YTD Funds Details”, if there is nothing to show, a popup (ShowMessage) window pops up, but it is UNDER the focused window. Added a custom dialog that forces it to be in front.
// 2019-11-20 : Added sort options in “View Fund Details” Fund, and Current.
// 2019-11-20 : Make the calculator an external program. Added calculator button to quite a few screens. Also, moved the code to Unit1 and made it an easy procedure to call to open the calculator.

// 2019-11-20 Fixed : In “View YTD Funds Details”, if there is nothing to show, the popup is trunkated and does not show the message on Linux. Had to pad the message with spaces on both ends and it worked. ???

// 2019-11-05 : Added preliminary stuff for Year To Date funds and popup graphs. Lots to go on it yet.
// 2019-11-11 Fixed : Num payees was reset to zero in Transactions and payee grid selection would not work on first transaction.
// 2019-11-11 Fixed : In Transactions, when adding rows, either the payee or the fund gets changed to the first one in the list. It was actually the “onchange” procedures that were causing the problem when a split row was added and the search field was cleared, it would activate the “OnChange” procedures used for search as it was thinking a search was being done. Added an “EditFlag” that deactivated the “OnChange” stuff until the search fields were cleared, then the EditFlag was re-activated. Did this for Payee and Fund searches in Transactions.
// 2019-11-11 : In Transactions, set the “Save new payees” and “Save Default Funds with New Payees” checkboxes to false by default. As this is more how I use it in real life.
// 2019-11-11 Fixed : ** In Transactions, if there are more than one row in the StringGrid6, and not the last row is highlighted after clicking the row in the Payee cell, when “Add Row” button is pressed, the “New Payee” field turns to “Y” Set value of TPayee in a couple of more spots.
// 2019-11-11 Fixed : ** In transactions, if the payee in the stringgrid6 is double clicked on and never changed, it still acts like it is a new payee and adds a duplicate payee. This was fixed when I fixed the bug ** above.
// 2019-11-11 : Set Year To Date Funds and popgraphs as “Alpha” so I can release this with the “Transactions” bug fixes.
