Is anybody around working at Microsoft ? If yes, any way to attempt at finding someone who could help with Microsoft releasing the source code of Money as an open source ?
I've been using it for ages, and it is simply great. No other accounting software comes close to it, but it lacks a few features (like ... search combobox everywhere) and it slowly gets incompatible with recent windows versions.
So it would be great if we could revival it, that would be such a great project ! But it would be far more easy to get the initial code base...

I've been running MS Money (the Sunset Edition) on Win10, with no problems. I haven't tried it on Win11, but in the worst case - I could always install it in one of the VMs I use for running older software (e.g. WinXP or some such).

It's still my go-to personal finance app; I have it running in a Win7 VM and that's exactly how I see myself using it a decade still from now.

I got hooked into Quicken and then it went to the darkside. Quicken's main benefit is that they "sort of" keep it working for banks.
Every three years they lie through their teeth saying "you must upgrade to maintain the interface" - which is elephanting nonsense. Banks do not change their interfaces at a whim and certainly now on a 3 year schedule. They finally just fessed up to an annual subscription.

I've been using Quicken 2012 for 10 years and haven't paid them a cent. Yeah, there's some things I have to do manually but I figured out a way to download security prices from Yahoo and convert them into a file I import into Quicken. Quicken 2012 still works fine on Windows 11. I guess I'm a tightwad (the wife agrees) but I can't see paying them $50 a year for software that does the same thing as last year's software does, at least the parts that I use.

I still use Quicken 6 for DOS on an old Win 7 laptop that I rarely connect to the network.
It never hassles me about upgrading or anything, is lightning quick, and highly transportable!

I had problems with MS Money Sunset Edition on one version of Windows 10. Since that version I've had no problems and now run it on Windows 11.
As for search, when I search it searches everywhere.
If you're looking for a replacement, there's KyMyMoney, which is open source. The problem with it is it uses XML files for storage and I'm not sure how scalable or robust XML files are in this specific use case.

I always thought that KMyMoney was an excellent replacement for MS MyMoney. I used to use it for years and never had an issue with it.
Same functionality and I think (it's been a while) its either compatible or has a converter.

I doubt it. MS Money was initially released while Microsoft was putting everything on their Jet Blue database, which is a stripped down, single user, MS-Access database. It was also the height of using Internet Explorer for all display functions, which is why it wants to "install" IE on newer systems.
For those who don't know, the Jet Blue database is used heavily inside Windows for things like Active Directory, Exchange (at least until the first cloud hosted Exchange was released), DNS, and DHCP. It's the same database engine found in MS-Access but doesn't support multiple users.

I agree, a great product which I have been using for more than 20 years. I am currently on Money 2002 and it still works fine on Windows 10. The only issue is when installing it complains about having the wrong version of Internet Explorer installed. That is fixed by a simple registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WoW6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer // for 64 bit
Set version to: 9.11.10240.0

I've been using it for 15 years and have never felt any need to use anything else.
Though I haven't tried it on Windows 11 yet...

The Sunset Edition installs and runs just fine on Windows 11.

Thanks for the information - I am still running version 12 from 2004 on Windows 10.
So it's good to know what will work on Windows 11
