You can set up money to use just a password instead of a passport but it will
still connect to the web even when your not doing any online updates...

I just wish I would have read this before I purchased this product. I will
not except the fact that this program has to use passport , logon , everytime
I open it! No way to control this , I remove this program from my computer!

heh heh... Bob said "program updates"...

Bob, you are such a kidder!!

You can easily control Money's access to the internet with a free
software firewall (Zone Alarm or Sygate for example). Just set the
firewall to 'ask permission' each time Money wants to go to the
internet. If you deny internet access, Money will continue to
function with no problems.
As for an option built within Money to stop internet access, I'll
defer to the usual powers in this group. Personally I don't know of
any way to do that.

Has any one figured out how to stop Money from accessing the internet... I
uninstalled it becuase off this "logging on"

I understand there are 3 things that M2005 needs to connect to the Internet
for a) currency price updates, b) share prices and c) Money Help files,
program updates etc.

I also would like to know why they feel they need to have money connect to
the web. I really don't like viewing advertisements within a program I have
paid good money for!
I truned off the sponsership and shopping links but I still see ads, that
have links to a website.

A1) Apparently because Microsoft thinks Most Users Prefer(tm) it this way.

A2) No that anybody knows of short of disabling the network.

A3) It fails to connect.

Why does MS Money insist on connecting to the internet when you open a
file? Can I make it not do this?

What about users that aren't connected?
