Pocket Quicken Connect works well enough to almost be unnoticable, which in
my opinion, is what a utility is suppossed to do. Its very clean and very
straightforward, and does what its suppossed to do with minimal fuss and no
hassle.
One minor annoyance: When PQC posts updated Desktop Balances back to the
Z-PDA, it posts the *ending* balance, not the *current* balance. This is a
hassle if you enter payables information days or weeks ahead, because the
balance then shows what you will have in your account after you pay those
bills, rather than what you have now.
PQC works only with Quicken for Windows. It is not designed as a
translation tool to transfer the data in any other format than Quicken's
(i.e. you can't use it to export your Z-PDA's data as text to be imported
into another program.)
All in all, for what its suppossed to do, it works great.
