Do any or all of these three support import of data from bank and credit card websites -- in particular, in the .QFX format? Paul

Very good and very easy to use and the support......Boy you can't beat Derik Atkins , at times you have an answer back even before it appears on the list! Someone mention it is to American.....maybe , but there is nothing American in my setup.

I wasn't referring to the setup, I was referring to the "single column" book keeping form, that's common in the US, but not here. We use blended double column. Not that it really matters, GNUcash definately looks much better and has lots of good features ... but then my taste comes from the fact I got my education out of a buisness college, and I tend to want my "private" book keeping in accordance.

Online banking and bill payment Pay your bills in seconds without ever picking up a pen or licking a stamp. With Moneydance you can automatically synchronize your records with transactions downloaded from your bank via OFX, QFX, or QIF files. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

You can get a $15 upgrade - I did. It is painless and fast. The only issue I might expect would be the time of year and the Moneydance support being low on staffing. The Moneydance website states "If you purchased Moneydance on CD or no longer have your license key, please send an email to support@moneydance.com ." I did this, received an e-mail and paid the money (I forget if it was via a website or not). My personal opinion is that KmyMoney and GnuCASH are ok .... but Moneydance seems far better. l last looked at them when I did the MD upgrade in Feb '04 ... At the time I had upgraded from Fedora Core 1 to SuSe 9.1 and rebuilt my system. I needed the full S/W for the install. The MD support response was fast - could have been perfect timing - I sent a mail, 10 mins later (I download mail every 5 mins) I had a response, provided the update info and 15 mins later I was back up.

In the past few months, I have sent email to the support address and have received no response.

Jerry, am I mistaken but didn't we have a conversation about this ( I mean you and Gnucash) before? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

I understand that both Moneydance and Gnucash can import QFX and QIF files, which means that I can download data from my bank and credit card companies. But I'm wondering about the ability to import stock quotes. Can either Moneydance or Gnucash do that?

MoneyDance uses Yahoo to get Stock Quote Updates. I personally don't use the feature, since I have my port on the Motley Fool web site. Barry
