I can't speak to Quicken, but in Money bills that are due or coming
up occupy two lines: the first is the payee, the second is red
warning text saying that they're due or coming due. Bills that are
not, are just the first line. That's not *exactly* what you want,
but maybe it will suffice?

There's also a bill calendar. Bills on the calendar that have
been paid have a "strikethrough" font (i.e. it looks like they're
crossed off). Bills that haven't been paid have a normal font.
So if you see any bill with a normal font today or earlier, you
know you have something to do.

Given the specificity of the user interface you want, Excel might be best
for your purposes.

I am trying to decide between Microsoft Money and Quicken. I will use
this to pay bills on-line and reconcile my checking accounts.

I would like the program to show a list of monthly bills. As each bill
is paid, I want it to be highlighted in a different color.

Which program should I get? I have never used either and would
appreciate the benefit of your experience.

Thank you,

Allen
