2003/2004 were good products, but since them they have been a nightmare,
starting with the fact that when first issued it needed an immediate patch
and websites with around 40 defects were all over the internet. There was a
major update just a couple of weeks after release. Lots of functionality
gone. Overdue bills, no longer shows on most pages and must be found only
on bills and deposits page, etc...

Count me in the group that are frustrated that Money Express is no longer
part of the functionality of Money 2006. I never had a problem with it in
the 2004 version, and loved how it popped up without having to launch the
full program.

I assumed that upgrading to '06 would give me MORE features, not less.
Seems I was wrong.

I waited on hold for about an hour tonite to talk to a second level support
person, only to learn the feature was taken away. When I asked if there was
a way to submit suggestions to the Money development team, the answer was
pretty much no.

Next up on my web surfing: finding a replacement for Money.

I'd be curious too as I found that Quicken is even worse.

The lack of care about current buyers wishes is amazing. Here they HAVE
a group of people that they KNOW will buy the product " if only "...
and they do not care.

As Vadim said:

.... And as Dick said a while back - they want to go online with
everything as a subscription. Ain't gonna happen with me. I might try
2008 as a trial. It's not the price - it's the LACK of usefulness. I
don't use any of their "online MSN features" so I don't care what they
add there. I know they're trying to make money with ads, but I ALREADY
BOUGHT their product - it wasn't a download like some free ISP service
that you know will generate ads. I bought 2001, 2004, and 2006 and if
this version is "their vision" : I'm done.

Actually the 1st (and second) question was posted at...
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...xp=&sloc=en-us
and I never received any replies from that newsgroup.

Thanks again for your help.

Glyn
Thank you for the reminder about the systray.
Also, Im still trying to get info on my 1st question...
"1. is there not a 'money 2003' bill payer reminder function?"
I see in Money2003 that under 'Options' there is an option for "You can use
Money Express to notify you of payments due.", but I cant figure out how to
make it work, ie how to set up Money Express to remind.
When I click on the Money Express icon in the systray, it does offer a pick
to 'Open Events List', but when I click on that nothing happens... maybe
because there are no events (or reminders ?) set?
Any ideas?

Money Express runs in the system tray - you should see an icon in there,
which you can right or left click to bring up some options.

am assuming my 'money 2003' doesnt have a reminder function (i cant find it
and per the this discussion threads) so tried to use my 'money express'

Description: Microsoft Money Express
File version: 11.0.0.716
Copyright: Microsoft Corp. 1990-2001. All rights reserved.

well, the 'money express' window appears to 'open' but the disappears (like
goes behind the desktop screen background)... there is a flicker of the
window header when try to 'maximize' out of the 'windows task manager -
applications' window, but it instantaneously dissolves, even though it is
'open'.

cant get it to appear with 'cascade' etc.

any ideas?

Bill reminder in the Notification Tray was axed by the MS Money team
a version or two ago. THEY apparently didn't need it for whatever
reason; perhaps they all have CPAs.

Best...

I was just telling you what your choices are, not defending the design or
suggesting that it meets your requirements or challenging the requirement.
Money is what it is and the developers have done what they've done. Money
Express didn't work as documented for several versions. Rather than fix it,
they took the feature out. They do things like that.

I still use M04 as my primary version. But not because of MoneySide. I never
liked that.

Dick it seems to be ok, but what do I need? To be adviced that a bill is
under to its due even if I forget to open the Money? I want a mechanism that
warns me that I am forgeting to pay something. If I could remeber to start up
the Money and look inside it my calendar, than of course, I don´t need a
software to remind me that.
It was the play that Money Express was doing in my life and now I don´t have
a mechanism to solve my problem. I think I´ll get back to 2004 version where
Money Express was still alive.

Start the application and look on Bills & Deposits? There is also a section

In the past versions of Money it was possible to set an alert that ran next
to the window clock (tray) that shown to me that a bill was a couple of days
under to its
due date, so every day I had the information when I should pay a bill. In
money 2006 I am not finding this feature. I saw the Alters in 2006 show me
about the
balance in my account, or investments or columnists content from the
newsletter, but I would just to aware of the due date of bills It seems not
to be working in this version of money, even in 2004 and 2005, I think that I
don´t know where it is now or it was cutt off from the product now. I also
went in the Tools menu, Settings, Bill Settings, and I saw a "Remind me XX
days in advance in a due bill", where I set 10 days, but it´s not showing
anything to me, even, I am using the advanced bills too.
I don´t know what to do, what I know is that yesterday I havent paid a bill
because money havent told me to do that, I don´t want it to happen again...
Can you help me with it?
Thanks a lot
Henrique Berenguel.
