Default Re: What a disappointment

Have you looked recently? For me there is a separate CA, WA BofA choice.

The popular "uber-geek" these days is anti-Microsoft.

Many closet-geeks and IT Pro's alike are viewed as phonies if they don't
have a machine at home running some flavor of Linux with all types of
stories
about how refreshing it is to have an OS that functions well on so little.

I like Microsoft products. I've always liked Windows and all of its
products. I've always supported Microsoft Money. It started out as a joke,
but has turned into tradition that every Christmas, I get every member of my
family the lastest version of Microsoft Money.

I did that this year, and man is my family mad at me.

We all use Bank of America. Money 2005 was supposed to work with Bank of
America, the "All except CA, WA, etc." does not. That's what we all use,
and
it doesn't work. It doesn't matter who's fault it is, the web site and
product docs on-line say it works. It doesn't.

When we tried to import the ocx or qif files, it didn't recognize the Bank
of America account money forced us to setup, we had to create a new one
called "checking" or something. Then, the file would import, but we
couldn't
put the transactions into the Bank of America account we setup.

It's a confusing mess. It doesn't work like it's supposed to, and we're
back to "keying-in" every transaction.

I'm really upset. I'm going to try Quicken, and if it works, we're done
with Money forever.

Sorry guys, but this is silly. I've always like Money for it's simplicity.
I know how to read a help file and check out support articles online. I
can't figure out how to get my checking account setup so that I don't have
to
type in every single check. A year ago, no big deal. This year
though...someone's software will do it for me. I wish it was Microsoft
Money.

Any chance this Yodalee issue will be resolved, or did we waste our money?
