[NTLK] Expense Programs - Links to Desktop

I've had Out of Pocket (True North) for quite some time now, but I had
to pay for a customized expense report about 4 years ago, and now my
company has changed the expense report format once again. I'm not about
to go shelling out another $150 to have the customized report done
again. Add to that the fact that there is no export to the desktop
(thus the necessity to pay for a custom report). Also, the only option
with OOP is to print the report. Can't e-mail it. Boo.

Ideally, what I'd like is a way to create the report, send it to the
desktop into Excel, and auto-fill my company's report. There's Expense
Plus (Walletware), but (a) they no longer support it, (b) they still
sell it for $69, (c) the receiver module which transfers the data from
Newt to desktop Excel (Mac or Win) is severely outdated - only works
with up to Excel 98, and they are no longer developing it. I believe
the receiver is visual basic, but I'm checking with Walletware as we
speak, so that may be a project possibility.

Am I overlooking any options, or are these the only two viable choices?

Thanks,
Dave
