Default Re: Limited User Account

Yes.

You will need to run M2008 the first time by right clicking on the desktop
icon or the .exe and selecting Run as Administrator. Also you need to have
your data file somewhere where you have full access. Program Files is not a
good place. If you don't do the latter Money creates an impermanent copy and
on closing Money all your changes are lost!

Use the free Deluxe trial
http://www.microsoft.com/money/freetrial_deluxe.mspx to insure that
Money will convert your Quicken file correctly.

When you install and first run, you should right-click the setup or
regular icon and choose RunAsAdministrator. Otherwise run Money as a
regular user with your Money file in your Documents folder.

Default Limited User Account

I am thinking of buying Microsoft Money Plus 2008 to use on a computer
with Windows XP. I read in the user guide that I must install it with
an administrator account, which I would expect. After it is installed,
can I import data from Quicken 2006 and use MS Money Plus
from a limited user account?

The reason I ask is I do all my routine work with a limited user
account and only use the administrator account when absolutely
necessary.
