I bought Cash Manager 2008, and lo and behold the directions are that
I need to prepare my old file to do the upgrade including

DELETING all tax, invoice and investement account types (and LOSING
ALL the data within them)

I have asked tech support for a confirmation (which will likely only
confirm the above)

If that is the case, I am stuck with my curent software and will
likely never be upgrading, as the data lost could not be
reconstructed.

(? Maybe they are abandoning their Canadian market, but at least they
could put that info on the box, so I don't have to go through the
hassle of returning the software)

My mistake - I bought Quicken Home & Business, but the insert asking
to delete software belonged to Cash Manager (? not sure why it was
included in the box)

In any case Q Home and Business loaded the Quicken XG 2006 files OK
with no errors

Since support for my Quicken 2002 Canadian version is about to end, I am about
to make a decision as to
whether I should buy Q2008 Cash Manager or Q2008 Home and Business. Does Q2008
support various investment
accounts, e.g. broker accounts...the selling and buying of shares, etc.? CM
sells for $40 CDN and H and
B, for $100, here in Edmonton, both in the stores and online at INtuit. Does
anyone have any discount
codes valid in Canada?

Thanks for any help....I started with Quicken 4, I believe.
