I'm looking for a simple checking account management program.

They don't get much simpler than this.
Simple Checkbook

Notes
1) I have been happily using Simple Checkbook for the past few months.
2) Use the Excel template if you are using Star Office 6 or 7, or Open
Office.
From the Website
----------------------------------------
Simple Checkbook is just that... a simple checkbook. In function it is
exactly like your little paper checkbook register - except you don't have to
do the math and it makes reconciliation a breeze. It's laid out like a
regular checkbook and you fill it in like a regular checkbook. It's just a
simple spreadsheet and I've included an MS Excel version (.xls), an MS Works
version (.wks) and a Sun Star Office version (.sdc).
Requirements: This is not a standalone program. You'll need Microsoft Excel,
Microsoft Works or Star Office to use it.
Cost: Nothing. It's free. Have a ball. Drop me a line if you use it and like
it.
What it is not... It won't go online and retrieve bank statements. It won't
do automatic payments. It won't remind you to pay the electric bill. It
won't chart or graph. It won't print checks. It won't budget and supposedly
solve all your financial woes. It won't merge with anything. It won't make
coffee and it won't take out the trash. There are enough wünderprograms out
there for all that. This is just a "Simple Checkbook". There's beauty in
simplicity right?
What it is...
The date column is such that all you need to enter is the month & date
(1/22). As soon as you tab to the next cell, the current year will be filled
in automatically. With the Excel version you can right click and choose
"Pick from list..." in the transaction column. This will display a listing
of all values previously entered in that column. This will save you a little
typing.
There is room for roughly 2000 entries. That's the equivalent of 50 packs of
standard checks.
Suggestions for use. Let's suppose you'll use the Excel version (.xls). Copy
Checkbook.xls. Rename that copy to whatever you wish, say My Account.xls. If
you have another account, again copy Checkbook.xls. Rename that copy to say,
My Other Account.xls.
You can also use Simple Checkbook for savings accounts.
