		<description>I am considering moving to Quicken Home and Business 2010. Do you have any experience of Quicken&#039;s ability to convert MS Money 2003 standard edition files. My bank has just dropped the .Ofx download format for MS Money and I am no longer able to download transactions. They only offer .qif as the download format and MS money will not process this format.

Any suggestions or comment would be appreciated. Thanks</description>

		<description>It would be nice if Intuit offers to download checks images.  Let&#039;s say I have 4 checks to deopit.

$50 from aa  bb,  $100 from c d, $200 from e f, and $150 from g h.

If I depotit them together in one transaction is $500.  

How nice if Quicken download all the check images.   and add  a searchable note such as:

aa bb $50  (or just    aa bb, c d ,  e f  )
c d $100  ...     

so in months or years later,  I can search and will be able to find   aa bb or c d  that I deposited.  

Instead  just showing a $500 transaction.  who will remember from who and what.

Intuit  your product is not at the dead end (like Winfax) .    move on and implement it</description>

		<description>What makes me nuts about Quicken (besides the hanging-on-update issue, which I get about every third or fourth update) is that the format for reports is so clunky and cannot be customized or altered in any way.  One of the handiest things about Quicken is that, if you handle your categories carefully, when it comes tax time you can pop out a report of income and deductible expenses for your tax preparer (even when that&#039;s yourself) in a matter of minutes.  But the format is close to illegible, with totals at the top, no lines, no way to separate categories with spaces for readability.  It&#039;s truly infuriating and surely one of the simplest things in the world for Intuit to take care of.  I hope they&#039;re listening, because I&#039;m not buying another upgrade (I&#039;m at 2007) until I hear that report format can be customized!  So there!</description>

		<description>You should have a period where you can return it if you are not satisfied. I believe it is 60 days.</description>

		<description>I would surmise that your Quicken lock-ups are a system issue, not an issue with the software.  A nice way to get around the data download issue is to use Scheduled Updates (found in the Online Menu &gt; Schedule Updates).  Make certain to put a check next to the Financial Institutions you want to download.</description>

		<description>For a home business I think quicken home &amp; business is probably fine, but for larger business you may want to look at Quickbooks which is also an intuit product.</description>

		<description>Hi, it&#039;s a great article and great review.  I believe that you might have missed to review a very important feature of Quicken.  

As when Quicken released first few releases (1992), I have bought and happily used them, every week or other day, I input manually each transaction, which includes checks deposit, checks cashed, credit card transaction,  then when I receive the statement of each bank, I do compare them.    T

hen slowly after 4-5 years, banks allow their clients be able to download they online statements in Quicken or Money format, I was happied to download them each month and imported to Quicken.  

If I remember correctly, started from 2002-2003, Quicken was able to download the statements/transactions directly from the banks,  It put me at easy, which have saved me lots of time.   

And for the past three years,  Bank of America, has allowed their clients to not just download the text transaction,  they do allow their clients ALSO to download the bank checks images (front and back) for each checks deposit and checks cashed.    I

 am still using  2006 version, 3 years ago, I have called Quicken tech-supp and expressed my request/wish/expect that Intuit improve/enhance/add the feature that could automatically download also the check images that available.   I guess, maybe there are not much demand; therefore Intuit did not implement this feature. 

 Now a days,  the storages in PC and Internet bandwidth no longer an issue. and would be great that you can review and commend it.  if you add your comment in your review, I bet, Intuit will wake up their developers and marketing team. 

I would not absolutely purchase another release of Quicken, just because, they have improved the cosmetic and GUI.  I will wait and will upgrade every 4-5 years/releases.  But, once I know they implemented that feature, I will run out buy a copy at once.

To whom that does not have Quicken yet, it&#039;s maybe worthy to buy it, people can buy older version for much cheaper cost - unless you just upgraded or have Windows 7, then you may have to buy 2010 version.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the review, it&#039;s too bad Intuit has sort of slowed down in the innovation department, but maybe the Mint acquisition will help with Quicken 2011. I won&#039;t pay to upgrade, but I&#039;ll take a free copy any day.</description>

		<description>Any improvement to Quicken&#039;s [non-existent] integration with Excel? In 2009, when you output to Excel, you don&#039;t get any formulas (i.e., a total in a column is just the number, not the sum of the other number). This impedes any kind of analysis or modeling in Excel.

Is there any way to import a budget that you created in Excel?

Thanks</description>

		<description>Ahh...nice to see a mention of Managing Your Money in the comments above....takes me back a ways.  I&#039;ve been a Quicken user for years and years, and the one feature that keeps me with it is the Savings Goals.   Once someone replicates that, I may be one my way out (but I hope I win the Q2010!)</description>

		<description>ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:  I&#039;ve used Quicken since DOS versions.  (Before that I used Managing Your Money - which REALLY dates me!)  I think there is a great difference between veteran/experienced Quicken users and the folks who started their financial management experience with something like MINT.

Quicken has its problems with constant revisions, which sometimes take away favorite features and add some that we could live without.  But it does allow you to really track everything you need to know about your financial situation.  You don&#039;t have to keep track of every time you put 25 cents into a parking meter unless you want to,   But I can get marvelous reports at tax time, keep track of loans and debts, investment history, and small business activities.  

I&#039;ve played with MINT and it&#039;s fine just to see what you&#039;ve spent and earned, but there is, so far, no way to enter check you write that have not yet cleared, so you really don&#039;t know what your balances are when planning an expense transaction.  And, if the web goes down or a cloud server loses its data, you&#039;re up the creek, not having records on your desktop.

It&#039;s going to be interesting to see what Mint does with Quicken in the Merger, since Mint&#039;s leader is becoming head of the Quicken products.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been a quicken user since the mid 90&#039;s. Normally update once every three years. Quicken 2010 would be a year earlier than normal, but I&#039;ll sacrifice and do it early if I win.</description>

		<description>I have been using Quicken consistently since 1996, upgrading every year, except for 2009.  My biggest complaint has always been that you cannot easily do a forward looking &quot;zero based&quot; or &quot;envelope&quot; budget in quicken.  It seems the latest version (and possible 2009) are trying to move in that direction.  My question is, can you set up Spending Goals by category groups instead of categories, to get a less granulated view of your spending patterns.</description>

		<description>I have used Quicken for some time now and I have been very pleased with the program. The only drawback is that every 3 years or so, you need to update to the new version because your current version stops downloading  from your financial institution.</description>

		<description>One feature that Quicken has never handled satisfactorily is handling non-taxable Mutual Fund mergers, where one fund becomes a slightly different one for a variety of reasons. There is a way to do this using Corporate Takeover entries but this is not obvious to most users when updating with Direct Connect. Most institutions show a remove and then an add transaction.  If the user simply allows these transactions to be accepted, they lose all their cost basis calculations.  It would be nice if Quicken could detect these type of entries and tell the user it suspects a Mutual fund merger so that this could be handled in the proper fashion maintaining cost basis.</description>

		<description>Thank you for reviewing the new Quicken.  Sounds like a decent upgrade from the 2008 version that I&#039;m currently using.</description>
