Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just laid out $30 for Quicken 2005, thinking it would be a great replacement for ACE-Money which I was using for my checking account. What a mistake. This year they changed their program so you can no longer import data from your old programs or your banks using .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) This makes the program useless, since you can't bring your old data into it from another program or from banks which permit exports of your bank account data using .qif files. Navigating the Quicken tech support page is worse than navigating a mine field. There are no phone number listings and no real help in how to adapt their new 2005 version to older programs by letting you import .qif files into your checking account. If you are enamoured of Quicken, stick with version 2004 or older. The upgrade to 2005 is a catastrophe. Alan Taplow 844 John Fowler Road Plainfield VT 05667 802-454-4675 ataplow@jhu.edu
