If you really want faster performance and wish to stay with M2004 you can
probably export all your accounts and then import them back into a new M2004
file. I did that a couple of years ago with M2002 and the speed improvement
was very significant. The file is still a lot faster so far. Exporting
then importing all your account data is a big job (took me a few days) but
worth it to me. I tested all the new versions of Money up to 2006 and found
them totally unacceptable so I intend to stay with M2002 forever.

Only two reasons comes to mind. A newer version would support downloads and
online quotes and be supported in general longer. A version at least M07
would have the Nuke The Bills feature which *might* help the performance
issues you describe more than Archiving ever could. Note, however, that Nuke
The Bills is an extreme measure that takes a lot of preparation for and
effort to recover from.

New to this group but have been using money since 1999.

I found this group today after doing something I have never done before,
archiving. Luckily, since I have good backups I was ultimately able to
recover from that huge mistake.

I attempted to archive because it does seem that money is so much slower
than in the begining. Really appreciated that today as I was trying to move
around to secure info for taxes.

So, the question is would a move to a newer version be a good idea or is the
2004 version known to be a better product?
