Re: your scheme gave me an idea.

Which was my intention.

Perhaps others who want their inventory on an application which they can
manipulate to their desire will find our information helpful.

Thanks for posting back.

Money Plus plus.

Money 2006 Deluxe would have home inventory available, but I don't
know about standard.

Money 2002 and Money 2006. All are "Basic", no Essential or
Deluxe version.

Cal,

No offense meant. We have Money 2002 and Money 2006 available.
If I bring up 2006, am on the Home page and go to "Customize
content or layout", there two "home" items, "Home equity" and
"Home expenses this year, but nothing with "inventory".

I have read that Money 2005 handles the Home Inventory but do
not know which others do. For that reason, we are trying to export
the inventory items and use another application. See my response
to Ken's message.

BTW, what version of Money are you using?

Hi,

I have money 2001.

My scanner, One Touch Visioneer, came with PaperPort software (version 7.02
Deluxe).

This software installed a printer, actually two printers one for black and
white and one for color.


The following from it's help....

To print an item from another application to PaperPort:

1 Start the application from which you want to print, and open the file in
that application.

2 From the application's File menu, choose the command for setting up the
printer.
Some applications have a Print Setup command (usually in the File menu);
others use a Setup button in the Print dialog box.

If you have questions, refer to the application's user's manual.
The print setup dialog box appears.

3 In the printer list, select PaperPort or PaperPort Color.

4 Click the button to set ScanSoft as the current printer, such as Set as
Default Printer.

5 Use the application's Print command to print the file.

The file prints to the PaperPort Desktop, and a new item appears on the
PaperPort Desktop.

NOTE

After you have finished printing to PaperPort, remember to reset the printer
to your regular printer.

End PaperPort Help......


Here is what I do to get Moneys home inventory into either Works Spreadsheet
or Works Database.

Works spreadsheet and database can handle tab separated or comma separated
(csv) files. The inventory prints Tab separated.

Open Money, go to inventory, print to PaperPort printer.

PaperPort opens to it's desktop.

Drag the file to Works Word processor icon, where it uses it's OCR (optical
code reader) capability.

Works Word processor opens.

For some reason there is no tab separation between the words (Description
and Type), place cursor between the words and push tab key.

On the Edit menu choose Select All, then on the same menu choose Copy.

Open either Works Spreadsheet or Database, then paste.

That's it..............

I understood that the first time. I only had info regarding your
claim that " later versions of Money do not have this feature", so I
was addressing the part that exists.

Cal,

The Home Inventory is on the Money 2002 home page, but we still cannot
have it appear on the home page of later Money vesions. We want to export
the information to a new application and then remove Money 2002.

While using Money 2002, we created a home inventory. Unfortunately, later
versions of
Money do not have this feature. Although we are now using a current version
of Money, we still
have Money 2002 installed along with the home inventory in the backup file
and would like to
transfer the information to another application. Two possibilities are
Microsoft Work Database
and Spreadsheet. Both of these can read CSV files. Is there any way to
export the home
inventory information to a CSV file? If not, how might we transfer the home
inventory
information to some other application?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
