I suggest that you download the free 90 day trial and use both in
parallel. Copy your Money 2004 file to Bob07.mny, and let Money 2007
convert that copy. Stay alert during install to make sure the trial
does not uninstall your Money 2004 version. Then you can run both
one at a time. Note that if you set up a Canadian bank from scratch,
click C; the names in Money are prefixed with Canada-.


If you decide to stay with Money 2004, after trying 2007, I suggest
you do not uninstall the trial. Otherwise you will have to reinstall
Money 2004, and perhaps there could be a glitch there. That file
association thing is the thing that routes a QIF or OFX to the given
version of Money when you click on such a file.

I acquired MS Money 2004 Standard in Canada two years ago and although it is
the US version, I am able to manually download chequing, PLC and credit card
transactions from my Royal Bank of Canada accounts. Todate, everything is
working fine and I am thinking of upgrading to the most current version of
MS Money.

In the Canadian market the most current version is MS Money 2006 Canadian.
Some of the reviews I have read of this version are more negative than
positive.

For the US market there is MS Money 2007 with three different versions. The
MS Money 2007 version that most matches my current set-up is the MS Money
2007 Deluxe version.

My questions become:

1) Would I be able to use MS Money 2007 Deluxe in a Canadian banking
environment (knowing that I must manually download which is not an issue)?

2) If YES to question 1), are there any issues about importing my MS Money
2004 Standard data files into MS Money 2007 Deluxe?

3) Considering the MS Money 2004 Standard seems to work without any hitches
should I leave well enough alone and stay with a known working app?

One of the reasons I started looking at upgrading was the fact that I
uncovered an article that stated my version of MS Money 2004 would expire
September 2006. Alarming as this was, I was able to ascertain that the
expiration comment was related to the Internet Online Services (which I do
not use) and that manual downloads would still be allowed. However, the
upgrade seed was planted!

I have sent a like request to the Royal Bank of Canada to determine if there
are any technical issues from their point of view that would prevent me from
upgrading to the 2007 version.

Thanks in advance for any comments / suggestions.

Bob Archell
