You Need A Budget 4 = competition

Re: 'Detect Duplicates' doesn't work

There is a lot of room for improvement in the way Import Rules and Duplicate Detection work. People have been asking and asking for an improved import system for a long time. Hopefully MechCad will actually implement it someday. Yeah I mean how easy would it be to change duplicates detection to ...

'Detect Duplicates' doesn't work

I have tried importing my transactions from the bank several times now and every time I have set 'Detect Duplicates' it hasnt worked properly. It seems to be mistaking cash machine withdrawals of the same amount as duplicates. For example if I import transactions with one showing a cash machine ...

Re: Matching transactions

No the best way to use the program is to rely on the downloaded transactions only and dont enter them manually. This is acceptable usually for a home accounting program alone (which is what it is) where you can live with a slight delay to your transaction entering, but this program certainly isnt of ...

Re: Matching transactions

Set the program to check for duplicates when downloading but remember this isnt foolproof. Always check your programs final balance matches the online statements final balance. And dont download partial days always choose a cut off day so you work in complete days - doing it at a weekend is a good ...

Re: Suggestions/Features Request Thread

One thing I would love to see added into the program is customisable field layouts for different Accounts Groups. I've set up several new Accounts Groups in addition to the default ones - for example Assets, Childrens Trust Funds, Mortgage, Savings Accounts etc. In some of these I like the field in ...

Re: For UK users

Of course, the GB pound is just one of a large number of other currencies and symbols that I'm sure many users would like to see in AM. While it would be good to have these as options, I guess that when time and resources are limited, the reality is that it's probably going to be fairly low down ...

Re: For UK users

...and it's maybe worth mentioning that if you want to change AM's internal icons to a GB pound sign, instead of a dollar, then you might consider using Resource Hacker from http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ John Have you done this yourself? If so perhaps you could send your modified file to ...

The Acemoney help file says how to transfer trsacation, report and investment files from MS Money: http://www.mechcad.net/products/acemoney/import-from-microsoft-money.shtml But if it was me I think I would probably start again from scratch in AceMoney starting with my new January 2013 transaction ...

Re: Investment Import from MS Money

The Acemoney help file mentions this - dont know whether it helps or not: If you also had investments in Microsoft Money and generated an Investement Transactions report (steps 10-16), select File->Import and open Investment Transactions.xml. Investment transactions will be added to the accounts ...
