Does Money 2006 for pocket PC work on WM5? Is there a way to shoehorn
any version on Pocket Money onto a WM5 device? I've been able to get
Money 2004 to install but not to synch.

I tried Spb Finance but found no way to select which accounts to
synchronize and how far back to go. As a money user since 1997 synching
my entire database chokes Active Synch and/or my otherwise perfect new
Treo 700wx.

Since money is one of my main PDA apps, this situation could ruin the
joy of this long awaited upgrade.

Any advice is gratefully appreciated.

I'm sure they "could". I'd be shocked if they "do".

However hard, apparently it's harder than they are willing to do.

I suppose that they can't share the information that would allow
others to write the program that would allow my PPC to share Money
2007.

Because the truth is I use my PPC as a checkbook and if Money 2007
doesn't share the data I might change to another program that will.

Although I will tell you that Pocket Money 2006 doesn't interface that
excellent either I've been willing to tolerate it up until now.

I do not understand Microsoft, so often they offer something that is
really great (ActiveSync over Wireless, Pocket Money, and a working
Bluetooth stack) then with suceeding versions the quality goes down
and they take the good stuff away and don't replace it or patch it.

All that is required is a slight update for the 2006 patch so it
recognizes the 2007 database, how hard can that be?

Maybe not. Perhaps it was more along the lines of "Not many people use this.
We didn't get any extra revenue for developing it. It costs us money to
develop it for WM5. How will we get ANY return on that investment? What's
the business case for doing the work? Maybe we should skip it..."

I don't think a thing has changed! :-(

It is probably down to the old story of a)"how much will it cost to
develop?" and b) "how much extra revenue will MS get?". if b) is not at
least ten times a) and better one hundred times, then don't even waste your
breath.

The last I heard is that there wasn't any and that if you upgraded you
were going to be out of luck.

Has that changed at all?

Has anyone as MS said 'You know, people use this, maybe we can make a
program for WM5.'
