Default Re: Running Money and Quicken simultaneously

It worked okay for me out of the box. However, it is now updated to
Revision 3.

Interesting perspective, Bill. Was Q2003 good out of the box, or did
it take several updates for Q to get that one right?

I have Quicken 2003, Quicken 2004 and Money 2004. Money is slow and
cumbersome, Quicken 2004 is full of bugs. Quicken 2003 is the best of the
lot.

Frank,

Thanks for your thoughts. Interestingly enough, converting my old QW6
to Money 2004 was pretty painless. It won't surprise me that Q2004
will convert my QW6 files pretty painlessly too. But folks with more
recent versions seem to be the ones complaining about conversion
problems. Go figure.

IAC, after reading both here and over on the Quicken group, I don't
expect either program to be flawless. My expectations are that Q2004
will be a major improvement over QW6, but I'm not sure that will be
the case as I've had little or no problems with QW6 and I imagine the
bloat associated with the new versions may bring it's own share of
problems.

I've had a few burps with Money 2004, but overall am pretty pleased
with it. Still, I wanna sample Q2004. sigh.

Default Yes, this problem

See my question posted yesterday. Although most banks
support manually downloading a transaction file, some
banks don't support the automatic download. For instance
Bank Of America here only supports automatic downloading
for QUicken, not MS-Money. According to some of the
replies I received on my original posted question, so
banks offer one but not the other.
This is a show stopper for someone who relies on
automatic downloads like me.

I too am a Quicken convert. However, I have found many problems using Money
2004, (Most which are solvable by going through all the help articles and
posting questions on this forum). As a result of these problems cropping up
I am running Quicken 2003, (I don't think I will update to Quicken 2004 at
this time) and Money 2004 simultaneously and comparing the two as the online
updates take place. There is no problem in doing so.

Default Running Money and Quicken simultaneously

Crazy as the idea may be, I'm considering buying Q 2004 and running it
alongside Money 2004 for a comparison. I figure if the Sam's Club deal
works, getting Money 2004 for $2.76 plus tax is a pretty good deal.

But being an old Quicken user, it's been hard to shake the idea of
giving Q2004 a run, so I think I'm gonna take OfficeMax up on their
special and try it.

Are there any special considerations I need to know about in order to
do this?

Thanks (in advance).
