can I use this software to replace Quicken 2002 basic which I use mainly to write checks??

I currently use iBank 4 -- I assume this answer will also apply to iBank 5 (which I plan to upgrade to). I migrated from Quicken (Mac) and I have used iBank to record, and even print, checks (using the paper blank check forms that I have used literally for decades to print checks). It may call for some tweaking of the check field settings but it was easy to do and has worked flawlessly for more than a year now.

Yes. I converted to Quicken deluxe 2011 when MM was abandoned. Man I wish MM.....Anyway, this crappy program really is the next best thing out there and converts all your data without a hitch. I had 3 years worth of financial info that converted fine. The problem with this is the inconsistent crashes, inconsistent download errors from your bank (some days it works, others it doesn't) and other failures.

It looks like it to me, as well. I've used the product for three years. It is not as robust as Quicken in terms of its reporting capabilities, but it's much more stable than Quicken and has an excellent interface. It's not like Quicken is even trying to serve the Mac OS, anyway. I would never switch back.

No, check printing is not possible-nor desirable, really-for this simple but essential piece of software. It very capably does what no other app can do: let you know when bills are due, how much money you'll need for upcoming expenses, and a history of what was paid and when. This is not a bookkeeping program like "Quicken," but it does exactly what it says it does, and does it well.

Quicken is not as complete in accounting as is quick books. Quick Books allows for multiple businesses.

I had Quicken 8 and lost my old system. I ended up with windows 8 (or 8.1) and ordered the Quicken Deluxe 2011 with hopes that it would work. It does work quite well. There are a few things that I have had to adjust to and a couple things I can't find but all-in-all, very successful. Hope this helps.

It works. I bought a surface which runs WINDOWS 8 and I use Quicken with that. I don't know if you are familiar with Surface but it is the size of a tablet. Using Quicken on that computer is horrible. The font was way to small (increasing the font made things worst). Also, I continually had problems with Quicken not being able to connect with my financial institutions, or the information being outdated. I finally got so frustrated that I quit using Quicken all together.

Tax laws change, so the software must, too. I personally use an updated version so the integration to my bank and business stays current and within tax code.

Yes, it is excellent for that. It can be used, essentially, as an electronic check register. If you use the mobile app it makes tracking your accounts extra convenient because you can enter transactions as soon as you make them.

Hi Chancey: The only advice I can give you is that my old PC was dying, and I waited until I got my new one before downloading the updated Quicken. I was afraid if I loaded it to my old PC, it would totally crash. So that's what I would advise, but I'm definitely not an expert.

Unfortunately the publisher of Checksoft does not seem to provide easy access to technical support, and as I recall, it's not free. I would call them or email them. I took a quick look at their website, avanquest.com and found a link to this site which they identify as a place to find support forums: http://www.softcity.com/contribution/question? Frankly, at some point it might just be easier to buy a new copy. If you do, download the latest version from Avanquest as the boxed versions available online or in the stores is often older versions that are not compatible with the latest release of Quicken. Wish I could be more helpful.

I was also a very long term quicken user, but i could not stand quicken's mac version after i switched to mac in 2007, & running a virtual windows machine just to run the windows version of quicken was just too much of a pain. i've been with ibank since version 3. it was miles better than mac's quicken & it gets better and better with each new release. it does function a bit differently than quicken so there will be a small learning curve, nothing drastic though. ibank5 is perhaps not as polished as the current windows version of quicken, but i am pretty sure from what i've read that there has been no great improvement of quicken's mac product. intuit is dropping the ball there. i'd say give ibank5 a shot, you likely won't regret it. i know i don't, not one bit.

It looks like it can be used with win 8.1 according to a quicken on line chart. However, most reviews and my personal experience would caution using this version. I would suggest you try it on a Windows 8 installation prior to converting an older version or upgrading your OS. Also make sure Intuit is still supporting this version.

I have Money 2004 Financial Suite and it works fabulously on a Win7 Ultimate edition 64 bit pc. I have been using it for years and just do not understand why Microsoft dropped it. There is just nothing out there to touch it, I wish it would run on my iPad2 though.

Quickens website says it has a build-in converter for Money 2007 & 2008. No mention of earlier versions.

Yes it does and worked very well BUT quicken will no longer suport downloading from your checking accounts. They forced me to buy 2014 and I hate it.

DO NOT use Quickbooks unless you absolutely have to. I tried it, read 2 books, watched video training, and hired a Quickbooks trainer for 2 sessions to help me set up the software and STILL could not keep track of finances properly. Dual column accounting is nice if you are an accountant. If you are a regular human being, just use Quicken Home and Business. I have 3 employees plus myself. Quicken Home and Business does EVERYTHING I need it to do, and is a breeze to learn and use.
