Early I would suggest you click Shortcuts.... at the top of the
screen and add shortcut icons for the AccountList and Portfolio.

Clear Portfolio-> UpdatePrices-> UpdateAutomaticallyEvery__Minutes
for better speed when entering the portfolio view.

For faster opening, go to Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings and set
the
(GeneralDisplayStartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:Accoun tList.

The most likely speedup for what you describe is from
File-> Repair-> RemoveAllBillsData

This Remove All Bills Data feature would be for people who have
experienced their Money file to run excessively slow. Try it on a
copy of your file to see if the speedup is worthwhile.

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.

Recently upgraded from Money 2004 to 2007 and I have been very disappointed
in how long I have to wait to add/modify an investment. I am at the point of
looking for an alternative portfolio tracking program. From reading some of
the threads it appears I am not the only person with money performancce
problems

My questions are
1) Any suggestions on how to improve performance (I use money for my
investments with on-line transaction downloading)?

2) Is anyone else as frustrated with the time it takes to enter/modify
transactions as I am?

Thanks
