Other modules like Bills & Deposits and Investment Performance can consume some time and prevent you from working with your file right away (and have even been known to occasionally cause the program to exit).ĥ. Customize your Money’s Home Page such that the only two modules are Reminders and Favorite Accounts. See my article “ Eliminating the “online updating”delays and errors when opening Money” for details.Ĥ. You should use Windows Firewall to cut Money off from the internet, so that it doesn’t work so hard trying to access servers that no longer exist. Only the credentials in effect at the time that you last successfully got in to your Money file will work.ģ. Any attempt to do so will be ineffective. Do not attempt to reset your Live ID ,as the program may suggest. Money 2005 users don’t have this ability, and must continue to log in offline.Ģ. They should then use a local “Money password” only (if they want a password at all). This can only be done if they can get into the Money file. If any Money Plus, 2007, or 2006 users use a Live ID (email address plus password), they should remove that with File-> Password Manager. I have developed Ameridan’s addon package to PocketSense that allows you to run these scripts (and review your Online investment data) from within your Money program.ġ.For those that only need to update quotes (no Account Statement updates) and don’t wish to install Python scripting, Hung Le had written a Java app a year ago that has been recently updated and the link in the original Blog page has been updated with this new version.It is called MSMoneyQuotes and you’ll find links to it in this blog post. Another new program, written by a former Microsoft programmer, that will update all of your investment quotes in a very similar fashion to Money’s original online updater through MSN, is available for a nominal one-time fee.Now by installing the latest version of Python 2.7 (not 3) and Bobby’s PocketSense script package that runs on Python, you will be able to essentially mimic many of the online functions that Microsoft is no longer providing.Even though Microsoft has elected to divorce the program from the MSN Money servers as of January 31st, 2011 (which did much more than just grab statement downloads, including independent stock and fund quotes for ALL of your investments, passing through third-party web-scrapes of your data, supporting Online banking, investment news, tax and exchange rates, LiveID password authentication, etc.), they have made available a **FREE** legal copy ( the SUNSET edition) of the latest updated OFFLINE version of Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe that you can download, even if you’ve never used Money before! On its own, it will only update via OFX statement files that you download through the websites of your financial institutions.If you agree with me that Microsoft Money is still the BEST personal (and small business) financial management software ever, then you’ve come to the right place for improving Money’s OFFLINE capabilities. Microsoft discontinued sales of the software on Jand removed access to online services for existing Money installations in January 2011. Go directly to: Money software download links
