microsoft money

:eek: :eek: Have just spent an hour on this which I don't find user friendly. Is it any good? Only option is getting money for dummies and ploughing through. Automatic download of account details seemed helpful but disappointed to find only one bank appears to do it. (not mine). American version I saw talked you through step by step. What do you think - is it worthwhile using?

I bought this program years ago. I installed it, looked around, kicked myself for wasting my money. Then I uninstalled it.

I agree, it wasn't very user friendly.

I agree it can be frustrating at times, it's not the most user friendly system, but it's great if you have the patience to learn it. I've been using it for 5 years now and on the whole I think it's worthwhile. It's great for my taxes and budgeting - I can just click on a category and see how much I spent in any time frame (eg, petrol last month, or going to the movies for the last 6 months, or anything at all - you can add your own categories). So yes it's worthwhile, but it can be hard work. Good luck!

I agree, an excel spreadsheet works 10 times better than this program. Tried various versions, it all comes across as being a bit too "open" for my liking. In so much as if people can exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer, they could possibly do the same with MS Money?
