Welcome to the Wiki of Mike Bray

The Repository for my Extensions has been moved to GitHub. These pages are no longer maintained. Please refer to the new Wiki at https://github.com/mrbray99/moneydanceproduction/wiki

This Wiki has been created to pass on information, code and opinions. I hope you find it useful.

Moneydance is a popular finance package that is constantly being improved. This Wiki describes Moneydance 2019, 2021 and 2022. For previous versions please refer to the Wiki for Moneydance 2015. The operation of the current build is not dissimilar to 2015/7, however there are a number of changes which not only improve the user interface but also the installation on Windows and interoperability via python.

Moneydance™ is a trade mark of The Infinite Kind TIK

If you are upgrading on Windows you might want to read this.

The file structure of 2019 is the same as 2017, however, there have been some changes in the way currency and security prices are stored. Once you have opened a file in 2019 it is inadvisable to open it in 2017.

The Wiki/site is split into a number of different areas:
