[moneydance] Differences Between Quicken and Monedance

[Dal Pal (NSM)]

Thanks, Kevin! Tried to install in Moneydance but got this error: "Error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file" which is weird
because I did unzip it to the same folder that contains the other Moneydance
extensions. Did I do something wrong?

>2. mass change categories for one account, ie, "dividends" to "non-tax
dividends", "ST gains" to "non-tax ST gains", etc.?

Yes, this is one of the primary reasons I wrote the Find and Replace plugin:
http://www.mennesoft.com/moneydance/index.html

Select only the account you wish to search, and the category, and then just
replace the category with the new one.

This is a 'shiny new' plugin so if you have troubles with it, please send
e-mail to info at mennesoft.com or bugs at mennesoft.com

Hope this helps,

--Kevin

Thanks, Carl! I'm finding the more I use Moneydance, the more I like it over
Quicken. Been working on my taxes and it's much easier to find what I need
in my Moneydance tax report compared to Quicken's. I'm still working on
getting categories set up correctly because Quicken stuck some in tax
categories that I missed moving to the correct tax categories in Moneydance.

Seems like converted investments are set up better than they were in
Quicken. Did find that investment sales are not calculated for short & long
term cap gains but so far for me that is not a problem. Mine are usually a
partial share because of spinoffs I've held more than 1 year.

One thing I found that is a problem is the IRA distributions. Doesn't look
like there is a way to code an account as non-taxable. At least I haven't
found it yet. So I created categories for NON TAX distributions and changed
2008's IRAs for those categories. If there's no way to code the account in
Moneydance, I will eventually go back and fix prior years also.

Does anyone know if there is a way to:
1. code an account as non-taxable?
2. mass change categories for one account, ie, "dividends" to "non-tax
dividends", "ST gains" to "non-tax ST gains", etc.?

I'm still working my way thru HELP and haven't gotten into add-ons yet, so
there may be a way to do these things, I just haven't found it.

I to am a convert to Moneydance, the last five months. I would not go back
to Quicken. The downloads are easier to control although there is no "bulk
accept". The only problem was in the "Loan" account, I am holding a mortgage
for some property I sold and found no way to set up a "reverse loan" other
than that I love Moneydance. If anybody has a way to handle the "reverse
loan" I would love to hear from you.
Carl
