"especially since you did not use Money 2006 as it was intended. "

Well, since you weren't too specific, I can assume you watched my every
move as I was using it. How else would you know how I was using it ?
I only mentioned ONE feature. Good grief. Yes, I know there is a LOT
more to it than that, but that was the thing most stands out in my
mind.

As I recall, doing an update (direct connected to my 401k manager), it
would not reconcile correctly and my actual balances would never be
correct.

Are you saying I will have to tolerate that ? Or just resign myself to
keying them manually, as others have suggested ?

I guess we could ust agree all software is buggy, so I should just get
over it.

OK, I am over it.

Scott,
Microsoft Money is a financial software program intended to be
used to help you manage your finances. If you have Money 2006 there is
no reason to spend more money to buy Money 2007, especially since you
did not use Money 2006 as it was intended. Neither Quicken or Money can
really help you unless YOU decide you really want to use the program.
If you do, you need to spend some time understanding what the program
does and doesn't do and how it might help. Good luck. Steve

Don't know what that means. I enter transactions by hand. All is
more-or-less well. The 401k manager has been more-or-less defective for
almost a decade. I don't use it to reconcile. (It might have been fixed by
now--haven't tried it. My way--summary account update--works better anyway.)

I purchased Money 2006 a year or so ago, but abandoned it over 401k
issues. I have not used any kind of money manager since then (bad me),
and am ready to take another swing at it, so trying to decide between
upgrading Money or giving Quickbooks a try.

As I recall it could not reconcile all line item types from my 401k
manager (Hewitt). I remember this being a generalized issue, with
lots of poeple complaining about the same thing. Has this been
addressed in Money 2007 ? Anyone still having trouble with 401k
downloads into Money 2007 ?

Are there any other pervasive issues that are waiting to bite me if I
upgrade ?

Thanks,
Scott
