Spb Finance 2.1 Released
"Spb Finance is a financial manager that you can carry in your pocket. You don't have to write down all your day's expenses and transfer them to your desktop PC financial manager later. Enter your expenses into Spb Finance on the spot and forget about them, Spb Finance will remember them for you. Entering a transaction is a two-click business, since Spb Finance has a built-in autocompletion feature. Do you use Microsoft Money or Quicken at your desktop? Spb Finance has special features for synchronization with these products."
Spb Software House has just released Spb Finance 2.1. It is a free update for existing v2.x users and includes optimisations to memory usage, a fix for data access with Microsoft Money 2006, improved split synchronisations, and much more. Handango is selling Spb Finance 2.1 for $24.95. A trial version is available if you wish to test it first. [Affiliate]

I liked the feature set of the previous version, but it synch'ed really poorly with MS Money on my desktop. After two attempts, both of which resulted in data corruption and required me to restore my Money database from a backup, I gave up on the product. I hope this one works better in that regard, but I'm going to let someone else try it first this time.

Mnoey Corruption
I'm with Jimmy.
Everytime spb upgrade I get MS Money file corruptions. I can't get this new version to work - it even locked me out of my desktop MS Money file - OK its an old ish version but even so!
After restoring a backup of all my desktop MS Money files, re-installing the desktop MS Money software. Uninstalling this software on the Pocket PC, I reverted to the old version (1.9) which seems just about stable, I've wasted several more hours. I wonder why I never learn since this is not the first time.
I have now!
Never again!

hehe guess it's a good thing i don't sync.  Desktop money is too bloated for my needs anyway. This new version of Finance does more than i need my finance app to do. Totally desktop free!!! :mrgreen:
although the today plugin still sorts your scheduled transactions backwards. If you set it to show you only 3 at a time one would thing you would get your next 3 scheduled transactions... nope.. you get the last three in the list. Farthest in the future first. Kinda makes it toootally worthless. I know i may have a car payment next month but what about my phone bill that's due tomorrow? I need to see that. :evil:
Oh well, maybe in 2.2.....
