I would try this on a *copy* of your file to see if the tradeoffs
are worthwhile:

File-> Repair-> RemoveAllBillsData

This Remove All Bills Data feature would be for people who have
experienced their Money file to run excessively slow.

To get some information within the program,
File-> Repair-> RemoveAllBillsData
Read the information. Then click cancel.

Before proceeding, make an extra copy or backup of your file
in case you want to undo something.

The problem will be that if you remove all bills, you will probably
want to add at least some of your bills back. This can be done
manually with the aid of the reports that you print out before
removing the bills.

A technique that could help simplify re-entering your bills
afterward would be to go your register and selecting a
representative instance of your past bill and selecting "Make
Recurring" (Ctrl+E). This would be especially helpful if the bill is
complex, such as involving a split.

I don't think I have seen anybody post that archiving has
significantly speeded up a file.

Banking-> AccountTools-> Categories&Payees-> Payees-> GoToPayeeRulesManager.
Your downloaded transactions may come with some generic term where
the Payee should be. Excluded Payee Names identifies words and
phrases that should be ignored from the payee field (e.g., check,
deposit, purchase). Add words that are generically added by your
bank.

If you have suggestions, they are welcome. If there are no easy ways of
performing these functions, then some assistance lobbying for these features
in the 2007 or 2008 version would be appreciated.

Did you want help suggestions with any of these, or just lobbying?

Unmatching Transactions - I sometimes find quite a few transactions that need
to be un-matched. In the account register view, I select the transaction and
click un-match. This takes several minutes to run for each transaction (I
have archived off several years worth of data and the process should be
quicker). I would like to be able to select multiple transactions that need
to be un-matched, right-click and be able to un-match them all.

Payee, Category, etc - views - I would like to be able to right-click on the
graphs and have the option of setting the graph range manualy.

Importing - I would like to be able to control the syntax of items being
imported, for example - I would like to strip out "POS PUR FROM CHK" from all
transactions. I can map them to the real payee, but it is a manual pain. I
would also like to have more control over the import of check numbers. If it
is a priority check, the full check number get's cut off from the import ue
to the field size restruiction.

Account Register - Sometimes POS trnsactions come over with only an address.
I would like to be able to link into a search engine to determine what the
payee's name could be.

I have been using Money for years and have overall been satisfied with the
application.
