microsoft money - free version?

thriftymoo

Hi all

I know some people on here use microsoft money and i am aware that microsoft offer a 60 day trial of the software, but does anyone do a similar free version? i use open office rather than microsoft office so was wondering if anyone has done the same with MS money?

Thanks

not used so can't comment on how good it is, but it's free, only costs you the time it takes to download

We use Moneydance. It costs US $39.99 but it's a very good product with frequent updates and free support.

Well thats the free 60 day trial that you might be aware of.

or you could try Microsoft Office Accounting Express

It says its a free license software and from a legit website too!

Hope this helps.

Thanks

The benefits that Microsoft Money offers are that it's aware of UK tax-free investments (ISAs etc) and it can do direct downloads of your banking transactions if you have a Nationwide Flexaccount. It may work for other banks too but as I only use Nationwide I don't know.

Unfortunately it also says:

"Note: The above version is designed for US small businesses only, and does not support local requirements of countries outside the US."

It works OK with HSBC, I didn't know that it worked with Nationwide, I would be interested to know how.

Thanks in advance.;)

You just set it up to have Nationwide as an online service. It downloads details for Flexaccounts, Esavings accounts and credit card accounts. The only account that I have that it won't handle is their Regular Savings account.
