Hi, I too, am a long, long time user of MS Money and have somewhat successfully made the leap and migrated over to Moneydance. Mostly, I am finding the differences fairly easy to work around, but I have noticed that the "reconciliation" process in Moneydance really leaves something to be desired. As far as the bank account and credit card accounts, that mostly works OK, but it would be very, very helpful to have an "Update Retirement Account" type feature available in the next release of Moneydance.

I am pretty good with numbers and realize that "backing" into purchases might not be the perfect way to track your cost basis, but in a Retirement (401k) account it is not critical to have this perfect and would be a huge time saver.

I have searched the help records and do not see where this question has been asked and have read the User Guide and don't see where this is specifically addressed, so I apologize if this has been addressed.

Many thanks, Scott

    It has been brought up a number of times by different people (mostly after not getting all their buys in correctly from a move). I hope an cost basis setting function gets added too.

    Thanks, guys . . . what kind of priority does a "suggestion" thread receive?

    Scott,

    I'm sorry you haven't heard from me regarding your last question.

    When we periodically compile the list of feature requests we are going to incorporate into Moneydance, we use the suggestion threads to draw for ideas. That is the primary way they are used by us.

    Thank you, Brian . . . I would hope that this request receives a lot of attention as this is a great way to improve the software's efficiency factor but also to maintain the integrity of the recon process.

    Thanks again, I look forward to continued use of Moneydance and seeing this feature in the future.
