| Was a split involved? As with all software used for these kinds of purposes, Money's results need validation. I won't defend it and cannot say what you are seeing. But I certainly have seen bugs in Money, so not much surprises me. To the comment "For a long time I learned to hate Microsoft products quality. Money is no better in that respect." I must ask: what software vendor's quality do you find better? Adobe's? The OpenSource stuff? Intuit? Roxio? WordPerfect? Novell? I'm not saying Microsoft's is great by any means. But it sure isn't the worst.

| For a long time I learned to hate Microsoft products quality. Money is no better in that respect. Capital gains reports that you may want to use for tax purposes are patently wrong. Here is an example: I was putting money periodically into a mutual fund for past ten years. At the end of this year I decided to sell it because I racked up price appreciation loss and wanted to cover some other capital gains. Money 2006 was showing this correctly in portfolio view. I sold the fund and recorded the sell transaction (specified "by lot"). Money proceeded to tell me that I had an absurd amount of capital gains (not loss). I asked for capital gains report. It proceeded to list all the transactions for this fund with completely wrong cost basis (huge majority of my transactions were done periodically at the same amount). Money decided to use some fictional price per share for all purchase transactions. Henryk Birecki |
