I am using MS Money for keeping my Household account in order bot it would appear that I must have pressed an in correct key some where because in the account list I get the following:

Barclays Bank £870,521,325,32..... (in red)

Total Account Balance: £8,732.25

Any suggestion as to how I can edit the red figures to the correct amount.

Thanks.

Hi, you do not mention the system you are running this on nor the OS.

MS Money is also a discontinued product : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/792400/ms-money-strange-problem/

Suggest you move away from vulnerable software and possibly vulnerable OS

On my old computer I used MS Money to keep a check on my Home accounts, found it easy to use [which is what I need] but now MS Money is no longer available.
Tried a couple of alternatives but found them difficult to get to grips with, can anyone suggest an alternative which is easy to use.
Thanks.

Does it have to be Free?

There will likely be better options if you are willing to pay.

Vertex42 has some great workbooks. I use their monthly budget for my regular budgeting.

However, my investment stuff I customized in Excel. Now if I could just get those stock quotes working...

I have to admit, I just wrote myself a couple of Spreadsheets in Excel. but they are absolutely basic.

Excel actually has some prewritten spreadsheets included and you can buy some really fancy ones from MS Office's associated sites.

I would not link one to my Bank Account, anyway, as it would be leaving another level of potential insecurity, although my tame Techy says that his links are as safe as houses.
