Point is.....MS should do it from Money. Of course there are work
arounds....but if you (I) have to work around Money, maybe you (I) need
something that is a more complete product.

Free? Not likely.

I have no need to own Adobe doc stuff other than their free viewer.

www.cutepdf.com is a nice freebie.
Installed it becomes a virtual printer that creates a .pdf file.

From my personal experience.....

I just spoke with Microsoft, and here is the scoop.....

1) You can't send or export an image of the invoice as it prints using
Money
alone. You'll need to print to a 3rd party package like SnagIt or Adobe
and
then send your saved image on your own. (Translation = "We were too stupid
to think that through, and are too lazy to change it.")

2) Money doesn't fill in the "To:" email address in Outlook (like so many
smaller companies' programs do). (Translation = "The email you entered in
business information is just busy work for you. It does no good in Money.
We never thought you'd actually email an invoice, even though we put that
function in our menus.")

3) You can't change an existing template, without having it place the
invoice on the OPPOSITE paper layout that you chose (i.e. changed, saved
portrait templates will print and preview on Landscape paper and changed,
saved landscape templates will show and print as portrait pages).
(Translation - "Damn! We didn't see that one....and no, we won't fix it."
-
But, to the MS rep's credit, she did find a work around for this
one......in
print preview mode, switch the layout to the layout you wish to change
using
"Change print setup", then go into the Invoice Designer but select "Create
New Template" instead of "Open existing template", give it a name, choose
your layout (portrait or landscape). The layout you switched to (the one
you originally wanted to edit) will show onscreen. Edit and save your new
template. Now, your new template will behave as you desired the edited
template to. Editing templates just doesn't work.)

Good thing is that you have 30 days to request a refund.

But, if you read the newsgroup (as I have been lately) you'll find plenty
more.

I think of purchasing Money 2004 small biz. Can you list
some of the mistakes?

Thanks

Microsoft has made some mistakes in Money 2004 Small Busimess that make it
a pain in the Gates to work with.....so I'm looking for a replacement.

Any suggestions?

(BTW, I am a software developer by trade. Have been for 20 years now.
And, yes, I also make mistakes in my programs from time to time. The
difference is that I fix my mistakes and Microsoft seems to ignore theirs
and their customers' pleas for help.)
