OK, first of all let me tell you that I love trying to figure things out, and I have been trying to do some small things for my small lawn business. One thing is that most of the billing software out there does not have what I need, and I want to create a simple program that will allow me to add new clients, remove all ones and seperate pricing into categories.

Now I currently have open office to do all this, but for each category I have a sheet, I would love to figure out how to make a basic program, something like quickbooks (lite) but to be able to modify it to what I need. So here are my questions.

1. what programs do you recomend for me to use?
2. can one alter an existing program to your needs?

Like I said Im no programing wiz, hell am a beginner, but I love to figure out how to use programs, I have been reading and practicing with C++ and compiling but getting what I am looking for.

Thanks for your responses.
