Can anyone confirm that Money for Pocket PC will not work on Windows mobile
5? I can get in to work on mine anyway.

Thanks a lot

So they will never have Money support on the PPC? Maybe I should
switch to Quicken?

Quicken is great, especially the 2007 version -- better yet, it has Pocket
Quicken. Currently, Pocket Quicken is available for WM PPC's, with a WM
Smartphone version due out this summer. http://www.landware.com

For Money users, it's a great choice. For Quicken users, Pocket Quicken is
a much better choice, especially if you want investment accounts to sync
between your desktop and your device. For Quicken 2007 users, Pocket
Quicken is the only choice, as spb finance stops at the 2006 version.

Quicken is worth a look, a couple weeks ago I decided to try it out, last
time I did was a few years ago, and much preferred Money over the earlier
version of Quicken, now the opposite. I do think Money is better when it
comes to accessing your accounts on the web at MoneyCentral-though it often
doesn't sync, or goes down for days at a time; and the Money Deluxe version
includes a year of BillPay, which isn't included in any of the Quicken
versions. For ease-of-use, and great visual summaries of your finances --
Quicken jumped way ahead with the 2007 version. Could all change when the
2008 versions come out ;)

I can confirm that Money for Pocket PC v 2.05 WILL work on WM5! I've had it
working on my Dell Axim X51v ever since I bought it, and it syncs via
ActiveSync to Money on my WinXP desktop. (Think it is Money 2003 but not
sure as I can't check it at present.

Money 2007 is the current version, and, Money 2003 no longer works with MSN
MoneyCentral, etc...

Thanks for your responses. I certainly cannot get Money for PPC to sync on
my new O2 Xda Exec. I have also been using Quicken 2.5 for PPC and think its
great. Unfortunately Quicken itself is no longer supported in the UK. Its my
favorite finance programme and was curious that people are using the current
version in the UK.

Cheers. Thanks again.
