The investment account did have quite a few bogus transaction additions. Most of the bank/investment accounts imported with very few issues. PLUS I decided I really shouldn’t be taking the easy way out and I went back and properly recorded all of my depreciation against a real category. Once I realized what all of these ‘X’ accounts were, cleanup wasn’t that bad. So if my account is named and I create a transaction for -10 and record it against, MD will create an account called and record the transaction against that new account. If you record transactions back to the same account like this, MD will not like it and will create a different account to record those against. Quicken gives a warning when you do that, but it does it. But instead of recording against a depreciation account, I just used the account itself. For example, once a year I check the blue book value of my car, then I ‘depreciate’ the car by reducing the account by the appropriate amount. My biggest ‘gotcha’ was in asset accounts where I have the bad habit of depreciating back to the same account. So I decided to simplify and import just the past 2 years worth of data.įor the most part transactions, accounts, and categories imported fine. It managed to do so w/o crashing (unlike gnuCash) though there were many oddities I wasn’t sure of. First I imported my old quicken data file that has data going back to 1994. MD did a pretty good job of importing data though certainly not perfect. I also like the fact that it will run on linux as my laptop is now linux-based and that would allow me to do my accounting on the road w/o a VM. Nevertheless, I really want to play with MD as it may become an option in 6-12 months. Nothing will piss an employee off faster than being in the office but not being able to clock-in!
#Moneydance import software#
I know Java software is better now than the early days of Java, but having to clock in/out of work on a seriously crappy Java app required by our payroll provider left a bad test in my mouth for all things Java.
#Moneydance import upgrade#
I really want to maintain accounting on a specific machine and I’m not ready to upgrade that machine to 64bit for at 6-12 months until I know how I’m going to deal with hardware drivers.Īlso, I have not been a fan of Java programs since the early days. Honestly this is a show stopper for the moment. A little research revealed it is run in Java and Java is no longer supporting 32bit? OK…. The system I need to run this on is 32bit (it’s a long story but there is a good reason).
#Moneydance import install#
When I attempted to install MD, I immediately encountered problems. I did a little testing of MoneyDance and I’ll share what I saw.
