Looking for finance app
m_s:
Hmmm. I have an OEM copy of Works Suite, which has Money 2004. I read that 2006 is a big improvement on that - or, rather, that 2005 was a big improvement, and 2006 is a tiny improvement on that! I have downloaded a trial of Moneydance and will try it tonight.
Carol Haynes:
Let us know how you get on - if it supports UK bank systems I would be really interested.
To be fair the last version of Money I tried was 2003, but I couln'd be bothered using it any more and didn't see the point of buying new versions (esp. as there aren't discounts for upgrades).
m_s:
I've just installed it, and it's got a nice-looking Java-based interface, but it only has US financial institutions, although there is a manual setup option. I think we'll find, as you suggest, Carol, that the difficulty is to do with UK institutions rather than with specific packages. When I tried Money 2004 a few nights back, I was really quite impressed by it, and it did manage to connect to two of my institutions... Maybe I should just bite the proverbial and pay £30 for it... Except... you seem only to be able to get 2005 in the UK at the moment.
Carol Haynes:
Why not get Money 2005 instead of 2004? Or is it a question of cost?

m_s:
It's always a question of cost - which is why I need it! ;)
I found the item cheaper at Misco, but the free postage from Amazon makes it the best deal! I'll play some more with 2004 and maybe take the plunge tomorrow...
