This doesn't mention a third party, and I can't imagine anyone making
money selling the Premier version of 2K5 at $20, so I'll take the chance
for now. But thanks for the heads up!

If you are looking at the link for Antonline, be very careful. It may say
2004, but if you order it, they will send you 2005. I just went through
this about 6 weeks ago with them. I had to file a complaint with Amazon to
get my full purchase price including shipping back.

I ended up getting 2004 from eBay.

Thanks for the link and the advice. Based on what I've read, 2004 seems
like a reasonable choice, and it's still available new via Amazon at
great discounts ($20 for Premier).

Provided you are using a version for the same locale (i.e., Mv3 US-> M04 US),
newer versions are very good about upgrading older version files. (Not
perfect, but they always try and rarely fail. Latent problems in the
backlevel file can cause problems.) M04 may end up being the high water mark
of Money development. I'd avoid M05. See http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm
for my reasons. YMMV. Some people come here reporting they actually like it,

Hi -

I have an older version of Money (3.0) and I'll be upgrading to a newer
version.

I don't intend to ever connect to MSN (for anything, ever), but I do
want to import data from my bank(s) and other institutions where
possible.

I also need to import the data from the earlier Money version.

What is the minimum version (2003, etc) and level (Deluxe, etc) that
will allow me to do this? I see that there is a lot of frustration here
with 2K5 -- should I avoid it?

Thanks for any insights.
