Re: [Metastockusers] alternative to Quicken

["Ronald Eaton" <r.e.eaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used Quicken 2002 DeLuxe since it was first available and I have not 
had any of the problems you have listed.  However, being certain to follow 
the rules (documentation) helps immensely and having the discipline to stay 
current with entries makes it easier.
I recently upgraded to the Quicken 2003 Premier, and it too has performed 
quite well.  The biggest problem I have had with each of the Quicken 
releases (going back several versions) has been changes to graphic 
interface.  Old and comfortable patterns of activity and finding things, 
generating reports, etc. get changed and it takes a while to relearn the 
processes.
Accuracy has been a problem only when the guy entering the data has 
screwed up in some way.  Or perhaps going back in time to change or edit an 
entry or entries will change results at the end of a sequential process.
Stability - never had a problem with that.

  Quicken
  
  Quicken 2002 has 
  caused me more headaches and lost time than all other software that I 
  use.

  It is unstable, 
  entries do not maintain their values. It operates like the Microsoft program 
  that is/was used by the Dept of Energy that the Russians brought to our 
  attention.  Apparently they continued to use pen and paper accounting 
  until they were certain that the Microsoft program was validated. Earlier 
  entries were changed without any indication of it, all our records that are 
  used to audit fissile material are invalid and we may never be able to 
  straighten out the records.

  I am having a 
  similar experience with Quicken.
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  Can anyone 
  recommend an alternative to Quicken and Microsoft Money that meets the 
  following requirements:
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  1. sturdy and 
  reliable, does not change entries or balances.
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  2. easy to use 
  interface
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  3. Can read and 
  transfer Quicken files.
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  4. Preferred if it 
  can read Turbo Tax files.
  <SPAN 
  class=561503820-17102002> 
  This sounds like a 
  difficult set of requirements.  After all we've only been writing 
  commercial software for over 4 decades.
