Money 'softwhere'?

Beemer

I am interested if anyone has any other software that you use for managing money. Currently I use an old version of Microsoft Money. MS have kindly fogotten about the UK and have not developed the software any longer and only seem to think the US use it!

I also note that Intuit Quicken software is no longer being developed for the UK market so unless you want to use some commercial software, like Sage or MYOB or Access then I guess it's down to spreadsheets, which doesn't give you the full 'intelligence' and automation behind it.

Using an old copy of MS Money on Vista is pants as it comes up with errors. Tried to use a newer copy but then the original money file doesn't convert - nice one Bill - unless it's just I am not techie enough to work it out!

Ideas on what you use or is there some budding developer who has an eye for a UK market to develop a solution for us Brits?

Give one of these a bash.

I use www.yodlee.com. Only thing I know of that actually gets the info from bank accounts etc for you (most bank accounts in UK don't have a native online accessing facility unlike the US, certainly not a single one of my accounts ever has).

I use MS Money (2003) on Vista, and the only problem I've found is having to close a box saying that an update has been installed every time I open the program. It is irritating but not desperately so.

Have you experienced any other problems? It'd be good to know what I should keep an eye out for.

I should probably point out this is completely free and is online so platform independant and accessible from anywhere.

I am using 2002, which may be different but if I reboot, I have to repair the software and I then get two error messages, which are related to registering the software (sorry, don't have the actual error messages - unless I reboot). It is a real pain so I tend the just put Vista in sleep mode...

I have tried more up to date versions but I then can't use the same money file so its between a rock and a hard place!!

I'm still using Quicken 2001 (release R1) on Vista without any problems at all. It still has all the functionality that I need.
