Home Inventory for Mac?

kc0bra

It doesn't appear that the home inventory feature only existed currently in the Windows version of Quicken :( Are there any plans to add this to the Mac version?

Thank-you!

Older versions of Quicken for Mac had a version of Home Inventory as well. I don't believe it is actively supported on either platform as of this writing. I have not heard of any plans to add it back.

Even if it were still an active program, I would advise against using it: it is ideal to keep you home inventory in a very generic file format (i.e., a plain old spreadsheet that can be opened viewed on any machine.) 

That way, should you experience some loss (home destroyed, etc.), your offsite copy of your home inventory can easily be accessible by you and your adjuster. Quicken Home Inventory uses an esoteric file format, and the last thing you would want to be doing is sourcing a copy of Quicken running that old (unsupported) application just to find your home inventory.

Great, thanks for the info and for the tip. That's exactly what I did when I couldn't find it on Quicken. ;)
