Summary: Where are my entries?
Review: I wrote ckecks that have dissapeared from the check register. After reading the previous reviews of this program, I can understand why.

Summary: Use the $$ for an Upgrade to buy your wife dinner
Review: I had Quicken 2000 on an older machine and when I purchased a new one, I thought I might upgrade. Boy was that a mistake! I actually got my money back and restored my 2000 program. Spend the $$ for the upgrade on a dinner for your loved one and don't commit to the hours and hours of time needed to set up and baby the product.

Summary: Quicken 2003 breaks functionality that was in Quicken 2000
Review: The user-friendly investment alerts mechanism that was in Quicken 2000 is completely destroyed. Someone should be fired over designing such a terrible interface.
It now longer tracks investment in you security list unless you include them in your watchlist. Quicken also deviously attempts to upload all your portfolio information to their website.The alerts that you manually set get automatically reset (you have no choice in this) if the limits are met. This means that if you don't react upon the alert during the same session, you will have to remember the alert for a later session becauae Quicken no longer remembers it either - quite poor design. I wonder what they do with that personal data?

Summary: new version waste of money
Review: Quicken support simply doesn't exist. My Q2003 suddenly started telling me it was not the default financial application and wanted to know if it should be. No amount of answering yes or no stops that damned message from coming up every time Quicken loads. So check their website for hints, right? Wrong! Run a check for clues and you get "page not found!" At least half of the things I tried to find resulted in web-page errors of some kind. I'm more likely to find a solution with Google than using the Quicken website! Then an offer to help for a fee! No way, Jose, am I going to pay a company for support if they can't even get their website in working order.

Summary: No worse than MS Money
Review: I had been a loyal Quicken user for many years and recently received a discounted copy of MS Money 2003. I started my database from scratch and setup all new accounts. MS Money worked fairly well. It is frustrating when reconciling accounts to have the downloaded transactions already checked off in the reconcile screen when you are trying to check against a paper statement. I ended up with a problem that I could no longer download transactions from USBank using IE6. Eventually became so frustrated that I switched to Quicken 2003. I have tried the 2003 version of Quicken and have not found it to be as bad as many of the reviewers have stated. I ended up with the same problem with USbank and no one there seems to care about my plight. When I switched to Quicken 2003 the process of converting my data was painfull. One account at a time. My mortgage accounts didn't convert properly. At least MS Money seems to have a facility for converting Quicken data, Quicken should do the same. The interface is a little cluttered as both MS Money and Quicken are full featured. I think that rather than focussing on doing a few things well they have tried to do too much and have lost out on what made them popular in the first place. It is annoying to have a constant battle with the Quicken Online check-boxes. No I do not want my data available at Quicken Online. Really... No, still don't. If you miss a check-box even once, now your data is at Quicken online. Not sure how to undo that.
