Home Inventory: Good or Bad?

I am considering upgrading from QS2006 to QD2009 and adding on the Home
inventory program. I say this because it looks like the Home inventory
is not part of QD09 anymore.
Has anyone done the same? If so, can you recommend the program or is it
not worth the $30?

Cheers,
john

I have QP 2008 - but is what you say really true? Under the PROPERTY AND
DEBT pulldown you no longer have the QUICKEN HOME INVENTORY MANAGER app?
(That's assuming that's where it was and is on your version of Q).

This is yet another bummer against Q2009 if true. But somehow I just can't
believe it. It's not that much work for them to have kept it in the 09
program as is.

Can you (or others) confirm? Another reason I wouldn't upgrade if true.
(And yes, I know he said Deluxe and I have Premier).

I just looked, its still there. Quicken Home Inventory Manager. When
I select it I get error message Quicken Home Inventory Manager stopped
working, Windows is checking on a solution. A problem caused the
program to stop working, etc...
I'll try tomorrow after reboot.

I have Quicken 2009 Deluxe. Quicken Home Inventory Manager is found
under Net Worth menu. This is the old program (copyright 1999!) - not
the newer program that they have been advertising for a couple of years
now. Since they have the newer product, I wonder how long this product
will continue to be offered. I use neither of these Home Inventory
products.

What do you use? An EXCEL spreadsheet might be just as good for me anyway.
Any 'freeware' out there that's as good. I am using QHI only on momentum as
I started logging stuff in their in the early 1990s I think (maybe even late
1980s -- the ICONS on QHI certainly look like Windows 3 timeframe!)

But I don't see an easy export way on their menu to get the data out of it
however. I believe we discussed this several years ago on how to do it, but
I can't remember the details. Any easy method? I can search the archives
later tonight; go to get to work now in the morning.

(OT - As I write this at approximately 845 AM on 9/11, please take a moment
to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks 7 years ago today at
approximately this time.)
