Okay, I've been using Inesoft Cash Organizer v7.15 for a couple months.
No problems at all except the one noted below that delays use of the
Pocket PC after a synch (especially if your MS Money file is very large,
multi-year).

I did have a problem when I purchased a license from Handango.com. The
license code Handango gave me didn't work, but I wrote Inesoft tech
support (I inlcuded the unique product ID for my Pocket PC with the
request)...and they sent me the correct code in well under 24
hours....so all's well that ends well.

That's my final report...Inesoft Cash Organizer works well with MS Money
and WM5 Pocket PC.

I've been using Inesoft Cash Organizer v7.15 for a few days now and it's
working pretty well. There is an annoying thing that happens
periodically...when I add a new payee...it downloads all 1875 some odd
payees from my 10yr + MS Money desktop file to the Pocket PC which seems
like a lot of unnecessary overhead. Fortunately, it completes the sync
process rather quickly and allows you to disconnect your Pocket PC. But
at that point there is often a program still running on the Pocket PC as
it updates the Pocket PC files with all 1800 some odd payees. That takes
a while and is the part I find annoying and unnecessary.

But, it's not a fatal flaw. Overall the program seems to work pretty
well, it's got a stunning UI, and the synch process with my desktop PC
has so far been rock solid except for the thing mentioned above. I'll
keep using it until the trial period runs out and report back again at
that time.

yes, please report back.

I really appreciate the feedback from folks trying SPB Finance...helps
me feel like it's not all me! But the reports seem pretty unacceptable.

I'm trialing Inesoft Cash Organizer v7.15 and so far it's working. It
accepted my MS PassPort account login info that's needed to access my MS
Money account and seems to have stored that just fine...since it only
asked for this info once during initial synch. I've entered (a very
small amount) of transactions on the Pocket PC and my usual steady
stream of transactions on the desktop...and so far so good. The initial
synch took a little while - even when I told it to only synch the last
quarter's worth of data...but subsequent synch's have been not taken an
unreasonable length of time.

I'll keep working with this one and report back. Thanks to all for
sharing your experiences!

DG,

I have had similar problems as you describe below. I have an Dell Axim
x50v with 2003SE A05 and using active sync 4.2.0
Synchronizing of all the accounts is impossible. Even with a minumum
list of accounts (2 checking, 2 savings and 2 credit cards) the
synchronization takes forever ans seems to crash from time to time
especially when an itme is entered on the Axim. The only way it worked
somewhat is when actual money progam was not active and also the Money
Background Banking Service was killed from the memory on the PC side.
Not really acceptable. PocketMoney was more rebust.

I also noticed something else in other programs. As soon as SPB Finance
was installed I could not read appointment notes in the calender and
contact notes. As soon as I hard reset the PDA and installed everything
expect SPB Finance it worked fine. After SPB Finance was installed
every notes was unreadible. I believe the notes were not deleted
because I sync between two machines and changes in notes are
transferred correctly. Probably a font issue. I need the notes on a
hourly baiss and I consider these more important than SPB Finance.

I also tried another PocketMoney replacement called Cash Organizer 2007
Premium 7.1. But that was even more awful than SPB Finance. Even a
minumum list of accounts would not synchronize

Any recommendation of the PocketMoney replacement is appreciated.

I guess they don't care about the customer anymore? I had Money 06 synched
to my smart phone. The main reason I got a smart phone was to synch to Money
and Outlook but now I can't use it for everything I need. MS said I need to
upgrade each year to use the online banking feature but took away this
valuable tool. It wasn't even mentioned on the MS website as being taken out
when I downloaded the new version.

Is anyone using SPB Finance successfully? I've tried it off and on over
the years and always had trouble. A couple years ago...the issue was it
would try to sync my entire MS Money database with the Pocket PC rather
than just the last month or so. Since I have 5+ years of data in my MS
Money file, this was a disaster.

The latest version I tried had instituted a user controlled filter that
fixed this problem...I set it to synch only the last quarter and that
worked great. The program appeared to be working fine and synched with
MS Money just fine...reflecting changes I'd made on the desktop side as
expected. But when I tried to enter a transaction on the Pocket PC side
(Dell Axim x51v with WM5) the program crashed big time. I eventually
uninstalled it -- just as I've done so many times in the past.

I'd really like to use this program. It would help if anyone could
relate their experience using it with a fairly large MS Money setup. TIA!

I found that SPB Software has a program called SPB Finance. It has a built-in
Money interface that works with 2007.

Don't hold your breath. New versions of Money usually appear July/August
with the Pocket PC version a month or so later. Given that we are now 3
months beyond that window the answer has got to be ain't happening this time
around.

Any idea when this is ever going to happen?
