| Hi, Well I am following up on my own message. I read help a bit deeper in the software and although Canadian dollars was set as the base currency it was not using Canadian settings. The help item in the software indicates that if this occurs you should: 1) Set US$ as the base currency and exit the software. 2) Set Canadian $ as the base currency and exit the software. References to any tax features disappear in the menu at this point.

| Hi, Well I have been a Quicken user for about eight years (Quicken 99 for the last four years) and I thought I'd make the switch to MS Money. I was quite happy with Quicken but I wanted to use 99 forever. However, I got a new computer system, reinstalled Quicken 99, did all the downloads but when it came to Revision 4, it could only be done with online update which would constantly crap out on me (other than that my system has been very stable). I saw the deal at FutureShop Canada and thought $43 less a $15 rebate is a pretty good price. I also had some pretty rude fellow at Quicktax when I reinstalled those products (needed to get new product key)which persuaded me to change products (I may be mistaken that Quicktax and Quicken are associated). I installed MS Money 2004 and everything works well...nice interface...nice audio help etc. However, everything in this software refers to US information. Tax items refer to US tax forms and calculations, investing refers you to US sites and exchanges, it does not even send you to msn.ca vs. msn.com I have set Canadian $ as the base currency. I see that a few people in this group talk about Canadian settings. Do I need to do something else to obtain the Canadian "content"? The way it appears right now is that a base version has been supplied by Microsoft and they printed up "Canadian version" boxes. I sure hope that I am missing something to get the Canadian data.
