I would ask in the UK group, but I am fairly sure you will not get
that aspect working via the US versions.

Thanks for your message . Having browsed the 'online' section of the www.good
web guide.co.uk it seems that my bank are limited to the services they
offer.

So ... The 'Nationwide' offer more - is it going to be realtime though ?

I am prepared to move bank to get what i want . I'm not asking for much just
some .csv material pumped into my PC .

The above web guide does say that my bank does offer download and having
tried it I can confirm that through my internet banking portal I can download
information from the last month . Not quite good enough though . I need to go
back to the beginning of the last tax year , otherwise there will still be
many hours of data entry for the six basic accounts.
I could just run to the Nationwide to at least have 3 months of 'real data'
safe in MSMoney , as the tax year has until March 31st

You see the overriding problem is that I am a gardener by trade . This means
that the cash just doesn't come in fast enough ....ever!! I really thought
that having decided to use Money it would just happen .

You are being over-optimistic. The Nationwide in the UK offers the
best kind of direct interface to UK Money. Some others offer web
download of OFX or QIF statement files via web. The US version would
be able to accept those.

Note there is a microsoft.public.uk.money group, and the current UK
Money version is 2005.

I need to use a software package for my accounts . On the surface Money
should be the obvious answer . I hoped that with a few swift clicks in a
wizard , MSMoney would download all of my statement info from my 'high street
UK Bank' for the last 5 years and 'hey presto' !!??

Alas , the download is a US version (MoneyPlus08) and it doesn't have my
Bank listed. Then , having spoke to my Bank they offered a raised brow to my
plight and then .......fell back asleep claiming that no one had ever asked
for the statements electronically before .

Last quick point - am I being too demanding requiring live interaction
between money and the bank or has it been in a previous version of money.

Thanks all .....
