credit interest

Help! I can't get MS Money to automatically calculate purchase interest on
my credit card accounts, and show them in the cashflow. It seems the
interest rate I entered in the account options only applies to positive
balances.

The interest rate for a credit card will only show in cash flow if you use
Debt Reduction Planner.

That's pretty stupid, but thanks.

I didn't design the program. If you want to approximate, throw in a
scheduled transaction. You can always skip all of them when they come due
and enter the real number from the statements.

Have you used any other money management programs? And how does this one
compare?

I used Quicken a really long time ago and have peeked at it from time to
time since--mostly when I had access to a free bundled copy on a new
machine. I've messed around with GnuCash. Yikes.

But I have so much data in Money now and there are such limited choices for
getting it out, I'm fairly well stuck in the Money rut. That's not to say
that I'm generally unhappy with it. I'm not. Just there aren't a lot of
choices worth even pondering, so I pretty much feel like I have to take what
they give. I'd like for them to give something a little different, even to
just fix the tax estimator display bug, but I understand some of the reasons
that they don't.
