[moneydance] 2007 b2 Budget Question

[Sean Reilly]

There should be actual amounts as long as you have a transaction to/from
each of your accounts in the current interval for the budget item.  The
interval is defined as monthly/weekly/biweekly/etc and depends on the start
date (ie a starting date of Monday, January 1st 2007 will mean monthly
intervals start on the 1st of the month, and weekly intervals start on
Mondays.

Thanks,
Sean
