David Kendall, from Ultrasoft who provide the MoneyLink software (allowing you to view your Microsoft Money data in Microsoft Excel), has posted to the Ultrasoft support forums to get feedback on a possible 'Deluxe' edition of the software.
In addition, there is a poll to ask whether people would be interested.
Here's what he says:
From time to time, people ask about MoneyLink Deluxe.
We had planned a -Deluxe and Business Edition-, with features driven by
user demand. But interest from the user community never materialized, so
it remains on the on the drawing board.
If you have any ideas for features we could add to a commercial (i.e.
not free) edition of MoneyLink, please post them here!

Redirection in the site
The moneymvps.org site uses extensive redirection, as the FAQ items are retrieved dynamically from a database.
The tool I use use UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewrite, which provides me with permanent and temporary redirection, regular expression support, and a number of other things which makes it easier to provide 'nice' URLs (ie, without QueryString parameters).
The UrlRewriting.NET code has just had an update, which will be deployed onto the site shortly.

Cost basis in foreign investments
One of perhaps the more annoying issues with Microsoft Money, is when you have investments in a currency which isn't the base currency in the file.
The article: Cost basis in foreign investments, explains an issue where the price will change on a daily basis, because it is recalculated based on the prevailing exchange rate.
IMHO, this could be greatly reduced by remembering the exchange rate at the time of the 'buy' investment transaction, but it's probably a bigger problem than that, as one would need to remember all investment transaction exchange rates, and then do some humongous calculations to get the correct figure out.
However, might be one for lobbying to Microsoft.
