Money for PPC 2003???

[karinatwork]

What the heck happened to MS Money for Pocket PC? How come there is no upgrade available? When I try to install Money for PPC on my h4150, I get an error message telling me that it is only for devices running Pocket PC 2002 - did I miss something? I need to be able to sync information with my desktop version!!

What can I do? Any ideas what's going on???
Thanks!

I couldn't believe it either. I needed to update my desktop version anyway, so I converted over to Quicken and Pocket Quicken. I like them both, but it wasn't cheap to convert over!

There are two ways to solve this:

1. Upgrade to Money 2004. :cry:

2. See the instructions here: http://www.ppczone.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=4916

So MS Money 2004 comes with a pocket pc version that works for PPC 2003? Just making sure. I do like MS Money, and I guess an upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea, but only if I have to. :)

Actually, *some* people have reported success with Pocket Money 2004 and desktop Money 2003. Pocket Money 2004 is a free download.

A copy of Money 2003 for Pocket PC can be obtained FOC from th MS site.

I have Money 2002 on my Desktop working with Pocket Money 2004. I needed to install Pocket Mone first, then run the installer for Pocket Money 2002, which I let run through the entire process, but when it asks me on my device if I want to upgrade, I say No.

From what I can gather, this basically installs the 2004 client on the PPC, but the 2002 sync conduit. I think they just put a check into the 2004 installer as a way to make you upgrade because this solution is working fine for me.

I had the same problem. Had Money 2002 on the desktop and installed the PPC money 2004 version onto my 1945 (free download from the MS site). It did not work :evil: so I upgraded to Money 2004. Could have used JR's advice :? However, there are numerous rebates available at the moment for Money 2004 when you purchase certain Tax software.

I've switched to using Cash Organiser with their Money Sync, which works a treat!

Is this the app that requires another $20 or something for the ability to sync? I just can't justify that expense.
