was forced into it.

I have Microsoft Money running on my hp680.
Money stopped supporting the HPC platfform
after 2001.

So in order to run Money 2003 I would have to run it
on either the Dell or the 680. So at the moment I
run Money 2000 and use Quicken along with pocket quicken
on the Dell.

BTW, I just heard about a new problem. If you upgrade
to PPC 2003 there is no provision for Money yet.

Deluxe will not work in a Canadian mode. Standard takes its mode
from the regional settings.

If you install Money and don't like it sufficiently, you can revert
back to Quicken. Both application will [should] work. However the
last-installed will be associated with file types such as QIF.
Reinstalling the other application should re-associate the file
types with that tool. Or you could manually set the file types, but
that is a lot of work.

Steve,

I'm bored, so I'll tell you what I think.

I've never used quicken, hope I don't ever have to. I just haven't heard
that much good about it. Money sounds pretty inexpensive compared to
quicken too.....so thats good.

No. If it doesn't work.

Try running the validate and the super validate in quicken before you
transfer it to money....you might get better results. (Of course make a
copy of your data file(s) before you do that.

Morning all,

I've had it with Quicken (Canada). I've read many posts from this newsgroup
and I'm encouraged that there is a cheaper alternative to the $99 upgrade
just to download mutual fund quotes for one year.

So basically I would like a few questions answered that were not answered on
the Money website.

1. Maybe a bit to general, but are these two programs really that different
in functioning. It seems that Money took the Quicken framework and built on
it.

2. I want to download mutual fund/stock/currency quotes for as long as I
run this software (well at least more than one year), does Money do this
well without any issues.

3. Can I import my Quicken file into Money easily?

4. How representative is the demo download which is available on the Money
website? I am going to download it, just wondering ahead of time.

Thanks in advance for any input. Any rants about how crappy Quicken is are
accepted!

Thanks,
Steve.
