Hiya

Have just got my hands on Microsft Money 2005 and although lots of people rave about it, I have not been finding it as easy to use as most people have infurred.

Have had not problems installing it and it works fine in that respect, but was hoping that someone might be able to give me a few hints and tips about making it easier for me on a day to day basis.

Thanks

What are you trying to do on it CG? Is it anything that wouldn't be easier handled via a simple Excel spreadsheet?

I used it for a while, importing bank statements from online banking etc. but didn't really find it that useful so stopped. Quite time consuming getting the data in and annotating it, making sure transactions go into the right categories, etc. - time I'd rather spending actually earning more money.

Hi,
I have been using Quicken for the last 8 years and find it very simple to use, although my version doesn't have all the features you would find on Money.
I too tried Money because I believe they have discontinued Quicken but I found it more complicated than necessary and quickly went back to quicken.
I just hope I can continue to keep it running on future computers and op systems.
Mike.
