I'm satisfied using 2006. An alternative: if Wachovia will continue to
support '04, find a copy on eBay. It's an improvement over '03, if I recall.

Don,

I just disovered the same problem (I'm using Money 2003, Wachovia is going
to end support.)

Based on what I've read on this group, there's a lot of problems with M2006.
Not necessarily unique to Wachovia, but the impression I get is that M2006
is a really awful piece of software.

Am I only hearing the bad things?

You might have to contact Wachovia to find out when they're going to stop
supporting Money 03. I've used Money since it first came out and currently
have Money 04. I bank with a credit union, have a credit card through
Wachovia, and 5 brokerage accounts with Waterhouse. All work fine in Money
04. All accounts download into Money 04 and I use the credit union to pay
bills, etc. I do not use a Passport with money. Hope that helps a little
bit anyway as I've not used Money 05 or 06.

I've been a Wachovia customer since they bought FirstUnion in Florida, and
used online banking all that time. I also am connected to FirstUSA,
Discover, and Fidelity. Using 2006 Deluxe, I have no problems. I have no
experience with TD Waterhouse.

Download the 2006 trial and check it out. You can maintain both versions,
including downloading in both. Epays and Apays are a different issue. I
suggest you attempt creation and maintenance of those in only one version,
probably 2006.

Rolling back isn't hard but, since Wachovia is cutting off 2003, I don't
know why you would. Discuss your plans with Wachovia support, as well. I
recall one point in history where upgrading a version redirected my account
to a different server, or something like that. Rolling back meant creating a
different online ID so Wachovia could point me back to the older version
server.

If memory serves me well, Money 2003 was kind of a dog, in terms of speed. I
think 2004 improved in that respect. 2005/6 are somewhat slower than 2004
but I'm satisfied with 2006. I think in comparison to 2003, you won't find
the speed difference significant unless you're using an older machine. The
memory requirements (for reasonable performance) are probably higher.

That said, I recently did a complete file rebuild by exporting everything to
QIF, then reimporting to 2006. Without having done that, 2006 performance
was unacceptably slow. Having done that made a huge difference. My
interpretation is there were data flaws that repair couldn't fix. Also,
reimporting QIF files seems to have ditched a lot of unnecessary baggage
from my several years' worth of data. I don't miss it. I do not archive.

Reimporting was a significant job that is not to be taken lightly. It
doesn't seem to be necessary for most users.

I am running Money 2003 and using Wachovia online to pay my bills. I
received a message that Wachovia is not going to support Money 2003
soon. Does anyone when the support will stop? Should I upgrade to
Money 2006 or should I find Money 2005? I also download from FirstUSA,
Discover, TD Waterhouse, and Fidelity. What do the experts recommend?

Thanks for any input.

John
