I am a user of Money UK 2005. Like many users we are wondering what to do
after January 2011 when Microsoft turn off the stock updates.

Unfortunately we cannot use Quicken US, as this does not import a Money UK
file.

Is there any chance that Inuit might make a version of Quicken for the
international market? There are no countries outside of the US that support
background banking, so this feature would not be needed in an International
version. Just stock updates and multi-currency support.

You might want to do some research and look at Moneydance at
www.moneydance.com. They also have an Support Person on Staff that is
from the UK.

I did have a look at Moneydance, but found it very basic compared to
MSMoney. Also, it cannot convert an MS Money file - and the import process
is laborious and error-prone.

I don't need background banking (it was never widely adopted in the UK
anyway) but online updates of currency and stock-prices is essential. I
would stick with MS Money but they have decided even to turn off these
services.

I'm not in the U.K., but I imported 7 years of Quicken data (about 5
minutes) and validated the results in a day. This included inactive
Banking, Credit Cards and Investment accounts (about 50 inactive
accounts in total). My US 401(k) account has investment history going
back to 1982 and I have one stock investment going back to 1976.

Moneydance does meet your requirement of direct "updates of currency and
stock-prices". It also handles VAT. Did you download the software and
import your MS Money data? This can be done for free and you can look
at the results and play with the data - the only limitation here is you
can only enter 100 manual transactions - but you can import as many as
you want.

I think there are two weakness that I have seen some improvements on
since February - 1) Investment Reports and 2)Reporting on Tags....

Good luck in your search for financial software that will meet your
needs.
