Quicken 2007 integrating with UK Banks

Hi. thanks for the feedback.

I eventually decided to stick with the US version of Money, also after phoning their tech support and assertaining they do not plan to support the UK any time soon. I simply changed the currency, and as long as it can do its basic functions (which aren't really location specific) I'm happy.

I passed over both Microsoft Money and moneydance because of their inaccessibility to the partially sighted, and more specifically to screen reader technologies. If moneydance were to make improvements to the accessibility (on the technical side) I would be more than happy to go with them, but I value accessibility and usability over cost or functionality. After all, what's the point of me having all my info stored in the app if I have to get someone to help me use it?

A friend of mine who thought my life needed some feminine re-organisational input took my laptop the other night and returned it the next day, with all the direct debit info and recent transactions from my accounts loaded into money. As she put it, it's now just up to me to spend the daily 10-15 minutes checking it and updating it with the latest debits/credits. This was truly invaluable and no doubt saved me a lot of time and eyestrain.

The lack of online functionality is something I won't really miss, I did some thinking and when it comes down to the bottom line, it'd have been a convenience, but nothing more. Besides, I'd probably rather not depend on a program to pay my bills, too much of a risk of my accidentally allowing the automation to make me complacent and careless.

Hussein.
