239305 2004-05-25 20:38:00 I want to buy a program to help manage our finances and investments. Programs available are MS Money 2004 and Quicken in a couple of versions. Does anyone have comment about the strength and/or weaknesses of either, especially ease of use and how they tie in with on-line banking.

Cheers
Richard

They do a very similar job, although I think Money integrates with Word, Excel, etc easier.

It might be helpful. There have been other threads on finance (accounting) software too. Robo is our resident expert.
