Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Whether planning a retirement strategy or just balancing a checkbook, it can be tough to deal with financial data sensibly and securely. Quicken 2002 Home & Business helps new and upgrading users devise the best arrangements for their information and plan for the future. The program's Web-page-based tracking system (which integrates Internet Explorer thoroughly) is simple, customizable, and easy on the eyes.
Installing the upgrade is practically transparent, and new users will only have to pay attention for a few minutes before taking a quick coffee break and letting the computer do the work. Data entry is painless now that nearly every major bank and investment house has online information access, though this can be moderately tricky to implement, depending on the business in question.
Those who are a bit more daring can branch out from basic data maintenance and ask the onboard experts for advice on debt reduction, college payment, and many other common financial milestones. The program also includes information and guidance on starting and running a business, including helpful tax information. Links to helpful online services abound--though they're incomplete, they're a good start--and users should be able to find information on just about any topic they need.
Upgraders will find the 2002 version a bit slicker and better suited to Web transactions, but little is otherwise different. Those shifting from other packages or new to personal financial management software will have a short but steep learning curve.
Quicken 2002 Home & Business also lets users create customizable estimates and invoices, manage business taxes, and track accounts payable and receivable. This version also lets managers and employees track jobs, projects, and customer payments.
Will Quicken make up for sloppy budgeting, bad investment advice, or the heartbreak of tax day? No, but it will help users committed to financial responsibility achieve their goals without going crazy, and that's more than enough. --Rob Lightner

Pretty Useless Update,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quicken 2002 Home & Business (CD-ROM)
I have used Quicken for years and am totally addicted. If you don't have Quicken at all, then I highly recommend this product. If you have Quicken Deluxe 2000 or 2001, though, this update is basically useless. It even has most of the same bugs. I could find very few new features. Most of the listed improvements are really just links to the Quicken website. The business features are incredibly weak. For example, you can only print an invoice with pre-set columns. There is no way to add an item description or change the format in any way. Overall, Intuit didn't put much effort into this update.

terrible buggy product,
By
This review is from: Quicken 2002 Home & Business (CD-ROM)
after running this program on Windows XP for about a week, i finally gave up and shipped it back for a refund. most of the functionality works fine, but EVERYTIME i try to go into the Investing Center or the Loan areas, it would CRASH on me. and i mean, EVERY TIME!!!! little things like the Mileage Tracker are nice, but honestly, anyone who can create a simple spreadsheet in Excel will find this of zero-value. i've been a loyal Quicken user for about 4 years now, but this is the worst product i've seen from them. its no wonder Intuit has a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee; i think their strategy is sell as many buggy products as they can and hope that people don't return them. well, i want my money back!! i just downloaded the trial version of Microsoft Money 2002 and am keeping my fingers crossed as the reviews for that product aren't exactly glowing either...

Quicken 2002 Home and Business...Well....,
By
This review is from: Quicken 2002 Home & Business (CD-ROM)
If you are a currently using Quicken Deluxe and you keep track of payments then I would highly recommend you purchasing this edition over the Deluxe version. Quicken 2002 Home and Business has some nice features such as the ability to keep track of customer payments, and your payments to vendors, which is highly useful if you have a good deal of customers. The area where I use this feature is in keeping track of my Ebay auctions. With the Home and Business Edition, I am able to create customizable invoices for my customers, and record when and how much they pay me. This is worth the price. If you do keep track of these kinds of records, then I think that you will find that the Home and Business Edition will be right for you to help organize your financial matters. I do also highly recommend users of Quicken 2000 or earlier to upgrade to a 2002 version. This version is much easier to use than some prior versions have been, and setting up accounts is a breeze with Quicken 2002 Home and Business. You are also able to maintain your accounts a little easier through the "Getting Started" process, which can be repeated multiple times unlike previous versions. You will also find that creating budgets, and other planning documents will become simplistic. You will wonder why you didn't try this out earlier.
