Just another option to look at, though I don't know if it is what you
are looking for.

To be fair, I've never used GnuCash, so take what I say with a pinch of
salt, but the website appears not to have had news for the last 2 years,
and I've never heard Linux distros trumpeting it, so I'm assuming that
it's a bit of a dead dog.

Late last year I bought MS Money. It's a full-featured personal finance
package for around 20'ish quid from Amazon. It's quite good, it even
updates your portfolio from the internet. I like freeware as much as the
next guy, but considering the price of MS Money, why dicker about?

Maybe Quicken is better, I don't know. But I'm betting that both Quicken
and Money are quite good, so you pays your money, and you takes your
choice. Neither decision will turn out to be a disasterous one.

Nope, sorry. But, if you want a nice, freeware money manager that I
believe can import Quicken format files (it does import several
standard formats), they try ACE MONEY LITE:

I like it so much I bought the SW version, which can manage multiple
accounts.

Thomas,

Contrary to what has been said, GnuCash can run on all UNIX systems, not
just Linux. A long time ago I had built the binaries for SGI IRIX which
atleast for many years were available for download from GnuCash's web site.

So I started off on GnuCash, and then exported my data to Money...I
think. Can't remember because this was about 3-4 years ago. My issue
was that GnuCash required too much effort to build and
configure...eventually I reached a point where I could not build it on
my aging SGI Indy and I decided to try out Money which was part of a
freebate deal with TaxCut. Since then I'm using Money Deluxe.

You get similarly weighted results with /any/ question in usenet. This is
why there is no usefulness in counting the yeas and nays. The true value
comes from hearing the specific /reasons/ why people switched.

I just converted from MS Money 2K Deluxe to Quicken 2005 XG. Primary
reason is that MS Money hasn't offered a deluxe version for the
Canadian Market in over 5 years and the basic version offered by MS
didn't do what I wanted it to do. Conversion to Quicken has not been
painless, however. I am still trying to enter in all of the data
accumulated in MS Money 2K into Quicken. There are no file conversion
utilities available to do this for some unknown reason.

OOps that was it Money Dance; not GNU Cash as I see GNU cash is a Linux only

FWIW, I switched from Quicken to Money because Money handles options trading
and Quicken doesn't. I'm using Money Deluxe 2003. It's not perfect, but I've
avoided upgrading because it sounds like I'd be inviting problems. I
download transactions from some institutions, but not others. The ones that
don't work, or don't work right, I fix by hand.

Money, Quicken and GNU Cash, but both MS Money and GNU Cash were awhile
back. I have retreated to Quicken (currently 2004). Basic reason was GNU was
too primitive for my tastes and MS Money took too many resources. Simple as
that.

I use Microsoft Money 2000 for nearly 5 years. For the basic accounting it is
fine and work well. (even i have tried some demo from Quicken, I had problems
to change my habits).

In country where I live there is no support from banks (and from Microsoft
too) for online statements (but we have internet banking :-) and probably I
will fing some middleware or something like this to translate datafiles). As
I saw configuration dialog, it will more be dependent on your bank than on
product choosen.

Portfolio management is quite nice with price updates - again it works well
for US and some EU stocks. Hope that Microsoft will extend tracking
possibilities for other markets soon.

Ace Money Lite (which I guess is slightly crippled, but good none the
less..) is another option, although I do not think you will find many
(if any) freewares that will allow you to connect to your bank in
realtime. At best you will be able to export to the program you choose.

http://www.arachnoid.com/PLCash/index.html is Java based, but I do not
think it connects to banks, either.

Have to agree with Dick. It's painful to switch particularly when our
choices are bad to worse. (Which vendor is which changes periodically).

I also have to believe that almost all the people happy with Money 2005 will
never see or contribute to this posting. Further, only a slightly larger
group of those unhappy with it will work with this forum. Most will throw a
$60 software program in the garbage before spending hundreds of dollars
worth of time and stress trying to fix it like we do. You're therefore going
to only survey a small fraction of Money users with a statistical certainty
that they will be unhappy with the software.

Few switch since the barriers to doing so are high.

GnuCash doesn't support classification and is exclusively Linux.
