Default MS Money replacement

been using MS Money 2005, been pretty happy with it. used for personal accounts and for preparing tax returns.
New system build and I cannot get it to upgrade itself..... says not online.

Cant seem to force it to do that so after 2 months on and off trying so probably less ahssle to just replae it.

what does anyone use/ reccommend?

Cheers

You'll need to export to a different format first.

Q: How do I import my data from Microsoft Money?

There doesn't seem to be any home financial software available now, with Quicken long gone and now MS Money. I've got the 2004 version of Money and can't get it to install on Windows 7. Surely there must be a market for home finance software, especially at the moment.

Seems like it went some time ago - i'm still using Quicken 98, but they did send me a Millennium Bug update on floppy disk several (well, nine and a half) years ago.

Oh well, and with me using a Palm PDA as well, it looks like i will be stuck in the dark ages forever

Anyone ever used Sage 50? Would it massively be over kill?

Yes, would be OTT for home use.

MS offer Accounting Express for free so that might be worth a look.

No problem. I think Accounting Express is probably overkill as it does invoices (IIRC)
