It looks EXACTLY the same as 2005...The chnages they made to it should be
available as a download to 2005 customers to fix things...It SHOULD be free.
*Sigh*

Money Deluxe is free after rebates at Staples or Office Max (I forget which)
if you buy Tax Cut Deluxe (includes State taxes) for $29.95.

Try entering "microsoft money" into the search box of samsclub.

I am looking at 37.00 after rebates for Deluxe. Can't bitch about that can
I?

If you were to do that, you would probably trim the QIF files to
include only newer entries. Then import into the Money 2005 file as
it existed at the time of conversion. That would not be hard, since
they are exported in chronological order.

However I really don't envision that occurring for a reason other
than regaining/avoiding the purchase price.

Nice.

OK...I don't want to run both (wife pays the bills and HATES computers. She
is the CEO, CFO. I am just the CIO here in this house. She would never let
me add another step), but if I decide I don't like 2006 can I export those
files to qif, uninstall 2006, then reinstall 2005 and import the qif's back
in again ya think? Would that work?

(P.S. I run full, automated backups every night and store them OFF my PC on
an external drive. Not that is all Windows fault but I have been
disappointed too many times by Microsoft products no to take precautions. I
don't think I have lost any relevant data in like 10 years!)

I have no measure of your values. Deluxe under $25 with CD at
Sams/Costco, and no rebate there.

Let me hit you with another one:

One frequent complaint was the Money 2005 Portfolio was going
for quotes automatically each time you viewed it. If you don't have
it selected to check quotes every 30 minutes, M06 does not fetch the
quotes until you ask for them. That was a most requested feature
from my observation, believe it or not. That is not to say that the
portfolio is of much interest to a majority of users.

I am impressed that you use the word "backups" (plural).

Your last comment intrigued me the most. I never use the backup incorporated
with the program. I manually back up my money file and store all my backups
on a usb drive. Is it worth upgrading?

Thanks for the quick response by the way.

During the trial install, pay attention, and don't have Money 2006
uninstall your earlier version.

Make a copy of your Money 2005 file named Greg2006.mny, and let
Money 2006 convert that.

You can run them alternately.

The last-installed is set up with the file associations, so when you
download an OFX or QIF, the last installed gets fed the file. To
feed the file to both, save the file to disk, and do File-> Import to
both. Just clicking a link sends the file to the last-installed.
You could manually adjust the associations, or could reinstall 2004
to reset the associations. Also, do not have the same Passport on
both files.

They will both be able to get the direct access FI data.

Don't expect appearance items to change. Improvements are under the
hood. In particular, the backup generation is much nicer.

I would like to take the Money 2006 DEluxe test drive but am I locked into
it. How do I revert back to my current 2005 version if I am not pleased with
the changes to the program. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
