Microsoft Money replacement?

Hello!

I've got years of stuff stored in Money 2005 but it's always had some irritating features that didn't work the way I might expect them to. Has anyone successfully moved from Money to an alternative and preserved their prior data? If so, what, and was it worth the move for you?

Thanks :)

    Take a look at GnuCash and KMyMoney.

    Both are Open Source and free. As far as I can tell, the former is a bit more functional, but the latter seems easier for ex-Money users to get used to.

    Both are supposed to be able to import Money files.
  • Hi, thanks I've installed GnuCash :j I tried it a number of years ago and found that it could only import QIF files. This still seems to be the case and Money's QIF export was a bit lame. I'll see what I can do with it though. GnuCash looks quite powerful but I'm going to have to spend some time reading the documentation to figure out how to set it up properly.
