You're right, the interface doesn't help, but in addition I notice a
significant difference in speed depending on the size of the datafile.

If you remove the Passport from your file, then fewer institutions
will be available for direct access. However the transactions that
you do download will be directly from your financial institutions
without the data being handled by Microsoft or Yodlee. There may be
some speed increase too. It still will not be nearly as fast as your
old Quicken or Money 97. But it will download transactions from the
better FIs and fetch quotes.

Some people have reported that including fewer account in the budget
can speed things some.

Hmm
If the slowness is typical I might just revert to my 7 year old copy of
Quicken!! Is still working fine though a hack needs to be done now when
reinstalling to 'register' it, just thought it would be nice to do the
upgrade to a 'modern' product.

Also not too sure about Money or Quicken's online integration. Paranoid
maybe but I like to know exactly what is going back and forth!!

Heck, my MBF is only 14MB and it's slow on M2005, 2004, 2003 & 2002.
It's not your file that's slow, it is the interface and nothing will
speed it up until MS revamps the engine driving Money.

That sounds a lot more typical for a file with ten years of data. Mine's in
that ballpark.

As to running slowly and maxing out processor usage, those, sadly, are also
fairly typical. Unfortunately the obvious things to do in earlier versions
to speed it up are pre-done in M05 since they removed the features.

Thanks Cal that got the size down to 47MB a big improvement though a lot
bigger than the Quicken 10MB

Money is also still running slowly and maxing out processor usage,
anything I should look for in that regard?

wow! that's huge!!! if you can open the file, then close it (after perhaps
doing something in it), the file should reduce in size...

Maybe run a repair on the file too, that might help sort it out. It should,
over time reduce but obviously if it is really slow to open then this might
take a while

No, that is not normal. What I would do is first, see if you can
bring it into line with File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair. That
may well get things to a more reasonable size, and it won't hurt.

After that it may well still compress on its own later. Compressing
is not something that you control, but it happens every so often.

Hi
Have been using Quicken V8 for a lot of years say 10+!! Thought it was
about time to update and as Quicken doesn't support upgrades from my
version to the current one thought I may as well change to Money 2005
Deluxe.

The only way to bring all my old data across was by exporting it to
'.qif' files and importing it into Money. Well I have just finished
doing this and the resultant Money file is 444MB and the program is
understandably running VERY SLOWLY. The quicken data file is 10MB....
Is there a way to compress it or is a huge file size for money normal?
