There is nothing really good that is free. If you have Filemaker Pro and feel like messing with the data base, there are some free invoice templates you can find online.

I use mysoftware's Smart Office Pack. It is brand new and includes My Invoices which is abailable for the first time for the Mac. I used that program on my PC for years, and this is the first mac version. It is simple, works well, tracks your data base, makes basic labels, etc. I got it at CompUSA and it was about 60 dollars.

IF you find an invoice program you really like, let me know! SO far, this is the only program I have found that is worthwhile.

i have been creating invoice with Microsoft Excel. it comes with a free customizable templete. the problem it is difficult to changes things in the templete. for example, if you issue an invoice for $500 and the person makes a payment of $250, it is difficult to put the origional total on the invoice then subtract the payment add late fees, etc and then have it total. the reason it is hard is the template has the fields locked.

the other problem is you must manual go back and check if an invoice has been paid so if you are doing multiple invoices, there is nothing to warn you.

i am in need of a better invoice system and am open to any ideas too. if you find one let me know.

Why can't you just edit the template? I haven't tried editing Excel templates, but in Word I could just open a template, make any changes I wanted, and save it as a new template.
