4.0 out of 5 stars A lot better than what Microsoft offers............., November 27, 1999

This review is from: Microsoft Money 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

I bought Money 2000 I was unhappy that Microsoft didn't include a manual but instead I got a booklet on Money strategies that I found useless. I found Money 2000 for Dummies a very helpful book. The chapters were clear and well placed. I found the step by step instructions useful and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide!, November 22, 1999

This review is from: Microsoft Money 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

Money 2000 for Dummies is thorough, clearly written, and fun to read. It is a very useful adjunct to the information provided as part of the software, and is much more in-depth than the guidebook offered by Microsoft.

This review is from: Microsoft Money 2000 for Dummies (Paperback)

This is the 1st "Dummies" book I've found disappointing. The early chapters are fine, but as the topics become more complex, the book becomes no more than a guide for filling in software fields. There's very little expert advice on how to actually use the software to reflect and manage real-life financial transactions and situations.

I'd been using Money for a while before I bought this book: it didn't answer any of my outstanding questions. I just don't have the sense that the author is any kind of expert MS Money user.
