Migrating to Moneydance: continuing issue with “transfers” is a show-stopper
I still an issue with Moneydance that will stop me using it for the time being.
I’ve lost the information in my accounts on “Transfers”, as in movements between accounts. The transactions are still there, but not linked between accounts any more. The debits and credits do cancel each other out, but are not linked. I can’t just “surf between accounts”, I have to actually go into the account and look up the transaction at that date. That’s not really good enough.
It has a worthwhile experience though; I have learned how QIF files work, I have managed to clean out some spurious transactions in 2 of my accounts, which previously meant my accounts weren’t balancing for a while.
I now don’t feel as tied into MS Money, I can see that with some effort I can get out of MS Money. I’m going to run MS Money on WinXP on VMware for a while, and I’ll keep my data as clean as possible ready for a migration in the future. Maybe to Moneydance.
