Default Re: Upgrade Pain

It is a waste of $$ to upgrade from 2004 to 2005.

When I merged the two accounts (original and the new one newly downloaded),
all my old transactions are erased. Only the new transactions from the new
download are kept. So what the benefits of merging???

This may be bank specific (BofA). Only the transactions from the current
month are kept.

I do not know... I'm going back to Money 2004......

Time to send the new one back.....

On the left side of the Account List, click MergeDuplicateAccounts.

The warning about loosing transactions older than 30 days is
strange. No such loss has been reported here. I think it may be that
you can loose older transactions from the new account, but not from
the older existing account.

Default Upgrade Pain

Just upgraded from Money 2004 to Money 2005 for business. More banks are
covered, and this is a good thing. But when I set up the online services
(both new and old), new accounts are created and there is no option to match
the new account with my existing account. So I'll have to close my existing
account and accept the new account. This way, I lost my current register and
have to start over again. This is such a pain. I do not know if it is worth
the upgrading.....

Comments?
