1 of 5 Utter disappointment! Tuesday, April 10, 2007 Matthew Coble from Atlanta, GA
I have been a Microsoft Money user for many, many years. (Going back to Money '98? I forget.) I reluctantly upgraded to Money 2007 Premium earlier this year from Money 2004 when I read somewhere that Money 2004 was no longer going to be supported. (I also read that Money 2005, Money 2006, and Money 2007 had issues. Hence my reluctance to upgrade.)
For years, I have sync'ed Money with my online accounts on nearly a daily basis. I'm that kind of focused on keeping my eye on my money, and Money has historically served me very well in this habit. Money 2007 does not.
Since installing it, I have:
1) Battled with my prior bank for nearly two months to get them to figure out by Money 2007 does not synchronize with their systems.
2) Installed and reinstalled Money 2007 on several different workstations to test the synchronization issue with my years-old Money file and new, empty Money files. Always fails.
3) Now I have *switched banks* thinking the syncing issue was my bank's fault. It wasn't. It's Microsoft Money's fault.
Syncing fails *every* time with a helpful OBRES 22063 error. Oh, yea, that
one! We all know just what that is.
I have read every Microsoft knowledge base article I can find. I have perused public.microsoft.money and other usenet groups. I have Googled. I have read blogs. The only thing I find is that lots of people have this problem with lots of different financial institutions, and Microsoft is doing nothing about it
In Money 2004, this worked flawlessly nearly every time. Why did it break?!?!!
So if you're looking to have Money synchronize with your accounts online, look elsewhere. But if you're all about putting everything in manually, this product will serve you just fine.
Buy a copy of Quicken instead!
