 Check with your bank(s) before purchasing March 8, 2006

My bank allows for financial information to be downloaded in QIF format, so I thought I wouldn't have any problems. Big mistake- in an insidious attempt to wrangle money out of financial institutions, Quicken 2006 purposely disables the ability to import QIF files for nearly all types of accounts. Those institutions that don't pay up (typically smaller banks and credit unions) can't produce files in the new format (QFX), making the software virtually worthless for their customers. So, unless you enjoy entering dozens of transactions by hand or are from a select list of Quicken partner banks, don't waste your money.
UPDATE: I sent the software back to Intuit under their "60 Day Money Back Guarantee" policy and received a check in the mail a few weeks later refunding the full amount I paid. So, on the bright side, if you find that the software doesn't work for you, you can get your money back without much hassle.
Does NOT support QIF-Beware March 3, 2006

I upgraded from 2003 to 2006 only to find out I could no longer download QIF files. This would mean that I would need to manually enter all of my transactions. YEAH RIGHT! If your bank supports OFX downloads or is a Quicken partner, this product will work fine for you. But if like me you belong to an institution not partnering with Quicken (the Quicken Bank Partner list is really small!) DON'T BUY THIS! I have always liked Quicken but will now have to learn and use MONEY. Oh well, all good things come to an end eventually.
 Very Good Basic Program February 28, 2006

I only use it for my checkbook procedures, so I do not know about all of its features; hence the four stars. Installaton was smooth as the program easily incorpoprated my existing data from an earlier verson of Quicken. I liked the ease in backing up my data on a cd rather than a floppy.
 Extremely disappointed February 25, 2006

I am extremely disappointed with Quicken Basic 2006 because it does not support true OFX imports unless the bank is a Quicken participating bank. My bank offers OFX downloads of my financial information but has no plans to partner with Quicken. Intuit's only suggestion of recourse to me it to "wait" until they do! Customer convenience is obviously not high on their agenda.
 Very user friendly February 24, 2006

I just needed a home accounting program for my personal checking account. Quicken Basic 2006 had more features than I would have expected for the basic edition. It is very user friendly and integrated easily with my online banking information.
I still have to learn all the ins and outs of the software, like how to avoid double entries and how to do scheduled transactions with differing amounts.
It was more than worth the cost and has been of immeasurable help.
