    good luck with Money as I think it's a really good product, if you have the discipline to keep your finances up to date :) I'm waiting for an updated version!

    I think that Microsoft Money is a really good product - I've had various versions since Money 99, and I'm lost without it.

    Having had a computer 'blow-up' on me, I would stress the importance of backing-up the data.

    My new computer came with Money 2005 already installed, but unfortunately it didn't have a floppy drive to enable me to load the back-up data (I had to purchase a floppy drive to allow me to do this). I would have thought that the later versions of Money would have the facility to back-up to a cd, but even with Money 2005, it still backs-up to floppy discs.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to back-up the data to a cd, and if so, how this is done?

    Edit: Sorry - I've just found out how to back-up to a cd. The answers in the Help section and I should have looked there first. In case anyone else had the same question, a cd back-up is taken from either the hard drive, or a floppy, and should, of course, be loaded onto a RW disc.

    I have noticed that various versions of MS Money that I use have some problems integrating data from the RBS and HSBC accounts I have. There is no real rhyme or reason to it as far as I can see...it's just that Money seems to have a mind of its own sometimes.

    Best advice I can give is that once you have downloaded a bank statement, make sure that the final balance from both the bank and Money match - if they don't, go through the account register with a fine tooth comb...and certainly don't agree, without checking, whatever Money recommends you should do.

    I back up onto a usb device, that means I can back up every time I use it without having to burn it to cd, it just writes over the previous saved copy.

    Is it only one staement yo can't download or any of them?

    Also, close Money, change the Windows date format to anyother format and press Apply and then change it back to the UK setting. Also try repairing your Money file File>Repair Money File>Quick (I think)
