I had thought you were referring to the passing of data between
Microsoft Money and MSN Money. I see now that you were actually
talking about MSN Money on its own.

Looking at
https://moneycentral.msn.com/investo...portfolio.aspx
it seems that you can still add transactions. You can have accounts
without having the data drawn from your financial institutions.

The group for MSN Money is microsoft.public.moneycentral

By Saying "See" I was referring to the MSN Money Online feature in which you
can only SEE your data and NOT do anything with it. If for instance, you
CANNOT input transaction data into the MSN Money Online, then it really
doesn't matter how many computers you can access that data from, now doesn't
it? Now you can see why I say it is a really useless feature. Probably
just a way that Microsoft can track people's spending habits...Oh now that
was cynical...

Its' friday, I'm done.

'"See"' was the term you used.

I never used the feature when it existed in the past. I am not
expecting to use it in the future. At one time I had mistakenly
thought that the current feature was more powerful than it is.

If you wanted to experiment to see what happens currently, you could
create a new file with your LiveID on it to see the results.

Alternatively, you can still use MSN Money exclusively, and access
your info on the web from various computers.

Cal: What the hell does "Actually that "See" is only on initial setup now,
anyway." It makes no sense to those who are not computer scientists or
otherwise. Can you be more specific? It seems the answer is still that you
cannot enter transactions on MSN money, which is why you suggest buying
Ultrasoft Money...

On that subject, I downloaded the trial of that program and it runs so slow
on my PDA that it is unusable. Money is no longer portable for me...

If you use a compatible PDA, you might find
http://ultrasoft.com/Money/overview.shtml of interest to let you
enter data, and then sync later with Microsoft Money.

The fact that you cannot enter transactions on the web and then sync your
data with your local money file makes absolutely no sense. I'm not sure why
the hell anyone would upload their data to the MSFT servers just to "See"
your data from another computer. Useless...

Yes. No.

If I decide to enter my Live ID and have MSN Money synchronize my data with
the MSN servers and my money file, I cannot seem to get the question
answered here: I know you would be able to view your information, but it
would be really useful if you could actually enter transactions from another
computer on the web and then synchronize your money file when you get home.
Can someone let me know if you can do this??
