Microsoft have also released for download the update for Money 2005 International users (I previously posted about the UK update) Details on this, and the UK patch can be found at http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/649.aspx There is no update for US versions. The workaround for these versions is to upgrade to the sunset edition

What is the QFE#2 for the UK users? Maybe an obscure title, but it's really good for Money 2005 UK users. It's the downloadable patch which brings a retail copy of Money 2005 to the 1105 update. This is the update you need to reopen your Money files, should you need to reinstall later on, such as installing Money on a new PC. This is something that I've had a lot of emails about recently.

The '1105' patch for Microsoft Money no longer appears to be available. If you've not yet done your reinstallation CD (as described in this article) and have the patched version on your PC, then you're now risking the loss of your data, so once again, I advise to make the CD and test it (on another machine!). If you don't want to go through the above, you have another option - export your files

I've brought up my test system this morning, removed the existing copy of Microsoft Money UK 2005 on it to test whether the update is still being served from Microsoft's servers.I can report that it is - almost 2 months after the expected take-down of the update. During the update, it can report the expiration of features, these being the online functions, however it's still possible to get the '

This is a warning to remind users of Money 2005 that if you haven't already created a backup CD of your installation with the patch on it, to do it now!Microsoft will be turning off the servers which provide it shortly and there is no downloadable file with the patch in it.

The last several versions of Microsoft Money have utilized an online service to deliver help content, which required users have Internet access in order to access online help content. The online help system used by Money has been marked for deprecation on or around July 1, 2010. Once fully deprecated, Money's online help feature will not be able to successfully connect to the server side service.

Microsoft Money products since Money 2007 have utilized a digital rights management system which required users to activate their product at or shortly after setup. Now that the Microsoft Money product line is nearing the end of its supported lifecycle, the activation services will also be ending.

Beginning in June 2010, Microsoft will begin closing newsgroups and migrating users to Microsoft forums that include Microsoft Answers, TechNet and MSDN. This move will centralize content, make it easier for contributors to retain their influence, reduce redundancies and make content easier to find. Overall, forums offer a better spam management platform that will improve customer satisfaction by

The last full UK release of Microsoft Money was in 2005. Since then, Microsoft have carried out no development work on the software. In addition, Microsoft no longer offer any technical support on this product in the UK and this has significantly impacted on our ability to resolve customer queries relating to the software. Regrettably, we will be withdrawing the support service on our Internet

Later this year, Microsoft will release versions of Money Plus Deluxe and Money Plus Home and Business that will not require online activation. This version will allow you to keep your Money files and transactional history but will not allow access to online services or premium services. No further details on this are yet available, but I'll post announcements here as they occur.

Microsoft PR gave the following response to a user enquiring about their copy of Money 2006 expiring:While Microsoft Money Plus continues to be a valuable tool for consumers, the feedback we are hearing is that the incremental updates to the software don't merit a new product every year. Given this, Microsoft has decided against releasing a 2009 version of Money Plus. Instead, Microsoft is

Money 2004, and earlier versions of Money use an earlier version of the Microsoft Passport Network that Money no longer supports as of July 31, 2008.Note "Microsoft Passport Network" is an obsolete term, and the current term is "Windows Live ID." However, you will find references to Microsoft Passport Network in Money Help and in the Money user interface (UI).Additionally, online service support

The MSN Money website was updated yesterday.The updates were very minor and caused little, if any downtime.The most significant change was the replacement of the "Basic" Portfolio with an updated version (this has been available for preview for the past two months).

PC Pro's campaign for a new version of Money is gathering some pace, as they've received 400 emails from people wanting a new version. Although I'm doubtful this will change the minds of the Microsoft people who make these decisions, it is an interesting story to follow.I decided to answer a couple of questions and put my thoughts together (you may not agree with them, that's fine ;-)).

From PC Pro this week:Microsoft has rejected PC Pro's calls for an updated version of Money in the UK,despite huge reader backing for our campaign.Microsoft has failed to release an update for the UK version of Money since 2005, despite the US receiving a new version only last year.And the company has now restated its assertion that the four-year old software is perfectly suitable for customers'

Over the last week, since the Money Plus SP1 update was released through smartconnect, there have been a small group of people whose computers will not properly update themselves with this patch.Microsoft have been looking into this issue, and some ideas have been floated through newsgroups on how to solve this.I've put together a couple of articles about this, which might help you get around the

ON the PC Pro website, there is an article about the ditching of support for Money 2005.Microsoft has dropped support for Money 2005 and described it as "obsolete" - even though the company claims it's still good enough for UK users.In our online banking feature in this month's PC Pro we described "Money as a little unloved at Microsoft" after the company failed to issue a new UK version in three

This probably happened a while back ;-) but the UK Money site1 is no longer functioning.

I've been a little busy recently, and so my posting to the newsgroups, web site and this blog has been, well, a bit intermittent. I can't promise this will include in the short/medium term.With the continuing lack of information on UK, Canadian, French and other versions of Microsoft Money, it's becoming increasingly more likely that these markets are no longer being targetted by Microsoft.

According to the support lifecycle for Money 2005 (see this page), support ended for Money 2005 yesterday, January 8 2008.It isn't clear from the lifecycle whether this is all regions, but I would expect so.Note that quote downloads for Money 2005 for UK users should continue until December 31 2009, as stated on the Money UK Pages

In recent weeks, the UK product page for Microsoft Money which can be found here was changed to indicate a new date for the expiration of online services.The date quoted at the bottom of that page is now 31st December 2009 - which is just over 2 more years worth of service.This will mean that updates continue to work until that date - definitely for new users, but potentially for existing users

Yesterday, I gathered some information and put together the page which shows the differences between the new Microsoft Money Plus (2008) versions. You can see this at FAQ Article 499.It is a simple comparison which only shows some of the features in each product. Until we get our hands on the product, it is hard to know exactly what everything means.In addition, FAQ Article 500 lists what is new

One thing that I state in a number of web pages on my site (e.g. I have Quicken and want to convert my file to Microsoft Money) is that Quicken is usually released before Money is, and thus Money will not convert files which have the same 'year' release (ie. Money 2007 cannot convert Quicken 2007).Information on Money 2008 is currently very scarce. However, for Quicken 2008, although not released

The update will affect many (but not all) customers who use MSN Money My Accounts, Microsoft Money 2005, 2006, and 2007.

My Xbox360 is broken - three red lights of death appear on the console, and it is already at the repair centre. Hopefully things will be fixed because it has been great fun over the last year.So, in the meantime, I decided to go through my 'to do' list for the Money site, and I came across one that was entitled 'Registry Fix for MS Money 2006 and MS Money for PocketPC 2006 in Windows Vista with

When buying assets, such as vehicles, the price of the asset may depreciate over time. Although it's not strictly necessary to put this into Microsoft money, you may want to avoid sharp dips in your 'net worth' by recording the asset and then writing off the value over time.In FAQ Article 474, I mention the use of appreciation/dereciation and how to record it in the program. In the following

In my previous blog post entitled tracking a house move, I mentioned that I was going to write some articles on how I track this in Microsoft Money.Unfortunately, circumstances do change, and I'm not now going to be moving house for a little while, so these articles will need to go on hold until we do actually move (could be a couple of years(!)).Won't go into details, but sorry to disappoint.Now

A couple of months back, I put in some articles about Buying and selling houses with Microsoft Money. At the time, it seemed to be a good idea, as it was something on my list of things to write.Now, two months later, I am going to be going through the process, having agreed on a sale of my house today. This gave me an idea of tracking how I do it in Microsoft Money through a series of articles on

I've seen an increase in the number of people who do not have an adequate backup of their money file, and subsequently lose (or almost lose) their data. So it seems appropriate to comment on it.The first thing to note is that backups are created at the end of a Money session. This can be a real problem, as if some corruption creeps into the file during the session, then this is saved into the

Well, today three Money MVPs, including myself had a day with the Microsoft Money product group, which was rewarding, we think, for all parties.The day consisted of meeting the team, including the testers, developers, product managers and other people who are involved in creating the product.

A couple of times recently, I have noticed on the Microsoft Public Newsgroup for US users that Ultrasoft might be working on a client for the Pocket PC, similar to the Palm offering they have (FAQ Article 84 on my main website).If this is true, then this is good news. Microsoft haven't released a Money for the Pocket PC version for 2007 users, nor have they for Windows Mobile 5 users, although

I was asked recently about the conversion from UK to US Microsoft Money - something I did, but is not supported.It seems useful to blog an edited and tidied up response I gave.About the transferFirstly, it is difficult.

An infrequent operation to perform in Microsoft Money is to track the sale and purchase of a house. When selling or purchasing a house, the transactions should cause a neutral effect on your net worth, assuming you track the loans and assets in Money.

Microsoft have released a compatibility update for Vista which includes updates for Microsoft Money 2005 and 2006.At present, I haven't had an opportunity to look to see whether the OFX import is fixed for Money 2005, which is a common complaint, but I am reasonably hopeful that it isMore details at my FAQ site in Article 459 or at the Microsoft KB article KB 929427.
