 Another year but not much change December 24, 2007
I have used Microsoft Money Small Business for a number of years now, but sometimes wonder what benefit (other than Bill Gates getting a little richer) I am gaining from the latest version of the product - this is one of those years.
Great for my Small Business - learn to use the program! November 25, 2007
I've read a lot of bad reviews on MS Money 2006 SB. I have to say, I love it. OTHER than the very poor and buggy Invoice Designer, it really is a nice program. You CAN track your inventory IF you take the time to realize that program tracks it for you from each invoice. I didn't think it was working either, but then I sat down w/out distractions and figured it out. I've been using Money since 2001 (upgrade in 04, 06, and now have Plus - same as 06 if you ask me). Anyway, I balance my checking account every morning, I keep track of what I've sold, what I have left, and my taxes. Money does have some annoying bugs that don't make sense. My 04 and 06 versions both converted my mortgage payments to paychecks every other month or so. I have no idea why, but I had to delete the payments and re-enter them as new bills. Annoying, but not a huge problem. The invoice designer needs a serious upgrade. It's not worth including at this point. I can make a better one in Word, but I haven't looked into how to get the information to export/import. As for entering the information, it DOES go from the created invoice to the printed invoice. Someone said it didn't - maybe they didn't save their invoices correctly. My 06 worked like a dream until I reinstalled (trying to fix the mortgage/paycheck issue), and WOULDN'T! So I downloaded Plus and see no differece at all. Stick with 06 until 09! Perhaps that year will be the year of the bug fixes.... We can only hope. Oh, and I don't know about the internet banking stuff. I think a MS program would be too easy to hack, so I don't store account numbers or link to my bank from the program. It takes an extra click to access my bank for bill pay. I'd rather click than risk getting hacked.
 love this software June 8, 2007
I love this software for my small business and home money tracking and I love the invoice designer. This software is so worth it to keep track of your money and also has forecast cash flow and can help you see where you can save and also can help you get rid of your debt. I recommend this product to everyone!
Could be easier March 21, 2007
I'm only giving this 3 stars because MS made this so bloated it's ridiculous! It works, it just has too much fluff!
 Not a business product July 10, 2006

I had the regular Money product and bought the small business addition to manage receivables, invoices, etc.
Regarding Invoices:
You can create a very basic, awful, template using the new template editor. It's not something you would want to use unless you are a child selling lemonade. Hey Microsoft, why not use Microsoft Word for invoicing templates (duh?). It's only your own product! Oh, and if that's not bad enough, when you want to send an invoice by email, it doesn't use the invoice template you've created. Instead it generates an uncustomizable email in plain text which looks like something from the early days of punch card computers. Also, remember those customer accounts you created in Money? Well the invoice doesn't pull in the customer information! That's right, you have to use a different form to enter the customer billing information (again) for invoices. Terrible product. Yes, it manages accounts -- but no better or worse than other versions of Money. If you're using this to manage bank accounts, fine. Otherwise, unless stay away! Shameful.
