I have seen that sprint offers personal banking for a price between 15 and 20 dollars i was wondering if there were any freeware programs that might substitute the expensive sprint versions

I have Pocket Quicken installed on my device and frankly, it has a problem syncing with the desktop. I also have HanDBase installed and am using a personally developed applet that handles unlimited accounts, et cetera.

There are free ones and I suggest taking a look at freewarepalm.com, specifically at http://www.freewarepalm.com/financial/financial.shtml.

Which one are you trying to download?

I tried all the money manage programs newer than 2005 and all of them said that is wasn't supported and only gave me the option to save it to the card then I tried the older ones and had the same problem

And you are using a Centro or Treo with Palm OS? I am very confused. I just downloaded one and installed it.

The files are in ZIP format and in that format can only reside on the card. After unzipping the file, you then have the option of installing the application to either the device or the card (if the card is chosen, the location is /Palm/Launcher).

I just downloaded a number of them and those I did download are compatible. Which specific ones are giving you a problem?

I tried to down load free checking with zero success before I tried again I downloaded handyzipper but I didn't see an icon for it nor did I find the program on the phone

Files downloaded to the card are in the /Palm/Blazer/Download folder. In order for Handyzipper to work automagically, it has to be in main memory, not the card. If you install it on the card, it has to go in the /Palm/Launcher folder.

Because FreeChecking is a zip file, download it to the card, not the device. open Handyzipper and direct it to the /Palm/Blazer/Download folder and go from there.

Have you thought of just downloading it to the desktop, unzipping it on the desktop and installing it from there?
