Spb Finance 2.8 Relased - Support For Vista, Money Plus

[Ed Hansberry]

<a href="http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/finance/?en">http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/finance/?en</a><br /><br />Spb Software has released version 2.8 of their popluar Spb Finance software. It now includes full Vista support as well as syncronization with Money Plus, also known as Money 2008.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2008/20080124-spbmoney.gif" /><br /><br />It requires 2.4MB on your device, either internal or a storage card and supports Pocket PC 2002 and later devices. I believe this is a free upgrade for existing 2.x users, otherwise it is $24.95.

Don't buy this expecting it to work with any recent Quicken product. MS Money gets all the attention. I even upgraded once hoping it would work with my Quicken but it has never been satisfactory. QW 2007 has been out for over a year now and QW 2008 is now being sold. This version, although finally released for use with Vista (already in customer hands for a year) is only certified for QW 2003-2006.

I was a happy use of SPB Finance up to the point where Intuit released 2007. I currently am using 2008. I think that its a superior product to Pocket Quicken (which I'm forced to use currently).

While I understand a company not wanting to give away their competitive advantage by leaking their upcoming features, support for a later version of a product they interface with seems to be a maintenance item.

It concerns me that not only will they give a date as to when support for Quicken 2007 &amp; 2008 will be added, but they refuse to even state that they will add such support. As a customer, this means that for the future I'm wondering if I"ll have to maintain licenses for both SPB Finance and PocketQuicken to ensure that I can keep working.

I tried using Quicken sync with Quicken 2002 and found that it only overwrites the data stored on the device with what is already in Quicken. As a result, entering data on the device is pointless. It's a nice piece of software if the sync actually worked.

I have been using SPB finance 2.7 and Quicken 2007 with XP on desktop and PDA with Win Mobile 5.0 with no problems (I think).
I normally enter data on the desktop and sync data to PDA.
I just did an entry on the PDA and synced to desktop – worked fine.
So what am I doing different? Don’t know…
