Why Microsoft ? Why ? Anyway, thanks for the tips on how to do this manually, it's a pain but it's more painful to completely change the software after relying on it for so many years ...

However, I guess since the TSE got changed to TSX years ago, there is no way to change it in the software because it is hardcoded somewhere? Everytime it does an update, it says it cannot be found. I have tried to see if there is a patch or a way to change or update from TSE to TSX but have not found anything. Any clues or ideas how to change this or will this be a minor issue that I will have to leave it as is?

The major issue is that they went through a big upgrade a while back and a lot of things still don't work. I find that while its great for tracking all your transactions in one place, it is not really helpful for tracking a budget and I got tired of waiting for everything to be fixed. I ended up spending money and buying YNAB Pro (http://www.YouNeedABudget.com). It is the best budgeting software that I have found. There is lots of helpful info on their website as well. They have a free trial if you want to try it out. I have played with Wesabe and it works fine for Canadians.

Both MS Money and Quicken realised at one point that by setting up online updates to expire after a few years, they will increase sales of their newer product line. Good for business, bad for customers. I've always been a Quicken user, but we'll see what the future holds. Intuit has already rolled out a free online competitor to Mint in the states, they may well end up discontinuing their traditional product line. There's some things I'm happier keeping offline, and a consolidated record of my finances is one of them. Re: Beach bum – by not updating past 2000, you’ve probably won yourself a loophole.
