    - question re: "internet based services policy" for Money 2005 I am considering upgrading from Money 2000 to Money 2005. The agreement seems to suggest that if I don't buy the latest version of Money after 2 years that I can't continue to download transactions??!! I've been downloading transactions for 5 years in Money 2000 w/out being forced to upgrade. Am I reading this correctly? Randy Bratton Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192824

    - Transactions not showing up in Registry I have MS Money 2005 and I have setup my CCard (Discover Card) to accept online downloads of my transactions. It had worked great for about 5 months. All of a sudden, it would stop downloading the transactions, but it would update the balance. I have tried to delete the temporary internet files as we all repair the file. Any suggestions?

    - Money 2005 - Update With help from CAL LEANER --- MVP, I have managed to load 2005 on my notebook and get it to read files from previous versions, but it will still not load on my desktop. I get an error which says some elements could not be loaded, try again. I do with not success. I have tried: Creating a new ADMIN USER, Error message says that 'I cannot load it on this computer as I do not have permission from my network administrator to access 'local machinery reg'. I do not have a network administor. I tried making the 'new' user the only admin. Same error Did a msconfig and tried loading it 'clean boot' mode, (both users) same errors. MS suggested that I remove my Diectway satellite connection, I did this although it is difficult software to reinstall It made no difference!!! I was not happy with MS or their crap software. MS suggested that I do a re-install, install the computer (recent HP) back to its original configuaration and install Money 2005 first. I do not think that this is an accepatble piece of advice. I have had many previous versions of Money, but have nver had any problems. I purchased two copies of 2005, one for the notebook, one for the Desk. I upgraded to 2005 so I could use in with my PDA. Anyone got any ideas on what to do next, to get it to load. Peter Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192785

    - Money 2005 Perhaps I don't quite understand how to use Money, it's all new to me but this is my question, When I create an invoice and I receive that invoice into my business account it shows as "payment for invoice" but when the check for that invoice is deposited into my bank it shows up as 2 deposits when I download info from the bank. I can't get them to "match" as the "payment for invoice" does not show as an income. Am I missing something? -- Any help will be greatly appreciated, MtnMaine Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192766

    - Money 2005/2006 Invoices I may see if there is a 2006 demo I can install on a different machine and check these out, but was wondering if anyone looked at invoices in 2006 or have any additional tips with 2004/2005. Problem #1: One of the problems with 2003/2004/2005 is that you can't seem to mark invoices as paid without selecting an account to automatically assign the transaction to. So naturally you get a duplicate transaction everytime on automatic downloads. Solution is to create a holding account you just ignore. Or if you can, merge the downloaded transaction with the payment -- which is really tricky, since you need to split the deposit. Normally your bank deposits contain multiple checks. Any improvements with 2006? Or any new tips on this? Problem #2: When you mark an invoice as partially paid, this is not calculated on the actual invoice. So, you print it out, the total is still the full amount. You can't have it calculate what they actually owe. Solution is to put a note at the bottom what they paid, but sometimes this note is overlooked. Any improvements with 2006? Or any new tips on this? Problem #3: The invoice template designer is full of problems. I don't need to explain them all. Just wondering if they fixed any of this in 2006. -Max Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192760

    - Money 2006 suggestion Does anyone else think that MS should just take Money 2004 update the colors and change the "04" to read "06"? Money 2004 is solid and reliable. On the other hand, 2005 leaves a lot to be desired. I have a sinking feeling that 2006 will "build upon" 2005 - sad. All I want is simple 2 way banking with my banks and credit cards and pretty graphs. I don't care about how much tax I will be paying 30 years from now or about setting up the ultimate budget. Am I alone on this one? Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192757

    - Report Help For Classifications I'm trying to set up classifications for short-term loans, but I can't get reports to work the way I want. I want to be able to able to track transactions that I do for others, who will then pay me back later. I have set up a classification, called "Loan To" to track the person who owes me money, leaving it blank for my own. I still want to be able to specifiy the catagory as normal (not just sticking with one, like PAYBACK). The trouble is, when I try to generate a report for just one "Loan To" person, it displays all transaction, including those where I left the Loan To field blank. I want to be able to see all transactions for all catagories, but for just the one Loan To person. If I deselect all catagories, nothing shows up. But when I select all catagories, everything shows up. Any ideas? Thanks! Tribune Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192756

    - How do I enter a put? I've got Money 2004 Standard now. I used to have Money 2003 Deluxe before and I remember I could enter a put but I can't anymore. Here's what I found in the help: *************** chapter 12 - Manage and track your investments Equity and Index Options With Money 2004 you can track your equity and index options. When an option you own expires, Money alerts you so you can enter an expiration transaction and close your option holding. To enter an equity or index option: On the Investing menu, click Portfolio. Click the investment account name to open it. Click New. In the Investment box, type a name for the grant, and then press the TAB key. Click Equity or Index Option, and then click Next.

    - Reports do not take credits into consideration I'm having trouble generating accurate reports. I just downloaded the Microsoft Money 2005 Trial and haven't yet set up a budget, so I don't know if that is affected too. The problem is, I have several transactions assigned to a specific category. Some of them are charges (I bought something), and some of them are credits (I returned an item). The report only shows charges, so spending in certain categories is much higher than the actual amount. I searched for an option to change this, but wasn't able to find it. How would I go about telling Money to find the net amount spend, rather than the literal amount "spent"? Thanks! Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192730

    - Convert Money99 files to later versions I cannot convert my Money99 data files to later versions of MSMoney. Following a hardware failure in my HDD, I lost among other things, my Money99 instalation (and I do not have the instalation CD). Having recovered the Money99 data files from backups, I tried to open them from friends computers running Money2001 and Money2002. I get a message saying that my files cannot be converted because they were created with an incompatible version. Is this a known issue?

    - Upgrading to Money 2003 I upgraded to Money 2003 from an earlier version and had problems with getting it to work, in the end I had to e-mail my old version to you and you sent it back so that it would work in the newer version. Since then it's worked fine. However, my processor died. I've now got a new PC and reloaded Microsoft 2003 Finanacial Suite from the CD (Says version 11 in the Help screen). Then I tired to open the file I'd been using before. It accepted my password and allows me to see my accounts but when I select an account it comes back with Money cannot determine which place to load. Please reinstall Money.

    - Problem Reconciling Account When I try to reconcile my account, Money complains that "the starting balance entered from your statement does not match the starting balance from your money records". However, when I use MoneyLink to import the data for the affected account, the sum of the reconciled amounts DOES match the starting total of my statement. In order to proceed, I entered a different date for the statement, said that the start and end totals were the same, and proceeded to ignore the error. Money then said that there was a difference between cleared and statement values of $39.01. What's happening?! Do I have a corrupt file and if so, what do I need to do to fix it?

    - Budget problems caused by recurring bills I have set up a number of recurring monthly bills (lease payment on the car, Association Fees, Auto Insurance, etc.) Let's take the lease payment of $587.0 er month. When I go to Monthly Budget reports and look at the past 6 months (1/1/05 - 6/30/05), under 'Budgeted Amount' it shows the amount of 1 month's payment($587) instead of ($3,522) 6 x 1month's payment for the period of 6 months that I am looking at. Therefore, the difference column shows that I am in the red by 5 payments ($2,935). I cancelled the recurring bill and editted the budget to show that the lease payment if $587, monthly. When I go back monthly budget reports, it appreas correct, Budgeted = $3,522 and difference is now $0 How do I fix this? Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192699

    - Accurate Cost Basis and Coverdall accounts I am using MS'04. I setup an Investment account for a Coverdall ESA with 1 Mutual Fund from Putnam. The following is happening and was hoping for some guidance on a workaround. I am using actual cost basis for the fund and it is tax-deferred. 1) In year 1 I made a $500 deposit and the cost basis is showing $500, which I expect. 2) In year 2 I made a $500 deposit and the cost basis is showing $1000, which I expect. 3) In year 2 I sell $10 in shares to pay for a custodian fee and the cost basis is showing $985.xx, which I expect it to be an even $990. It is my understanding the cost basis = buys + reinvest div - sells. Correct according to the Microsoft KB article on cost basis. If so, why is it not using an even $10 for the sell? One other question is whether there is way to enter reinvest dividends into this account without showing up in the cost basis? I am trying to track Putnam's statement which does not include this in their use of cost basis. This is important because I am rolling this account into an existing 529 which needs to have the accurate breakout of earnings and additions and withdrawls.

    - Money 2005 Won't Connect To Internet I have been using the online banking capabilities (almost exclusively) since I purchased Money 2005, v14.0.120.1105. Last month I moved and changed ISP from Earthlink DSL to Knology Cable. After the move, I tried to logon and was told Money couldn't verify my information (or something to that affect). I hopped on a browser and logged into Passport and changed my password, restarted Money and again was denied access. I can now open my account offline but Money will not connect to the internet. I contacted Money customer support and was told that my ISP may be blocking a port that Money needs (although he couldn't tell me what those ports are). My ISP says they block ports 135-139, 444, 445, and 25. I have no problem sending and receiving email, or surfing the internet through http and https sites. My software firewall is set to allow Money full access to the internet (as it has always) and I have reinstalled Money 2005 and that has made no difference.

    - Things that have gone wrong with my Money file in the past 2 days 1. My two bank accounts that download statements via the MSN Money website (which in turn uses the Yodlee service) stopped updating both on the website and within Money. The error message said to fix it I needed to stop using the "online services" then reenable it, but when I did, I received an "Account setup is unavaiable" message on one of the two accounts. I did this 4 or 5 times, for kicks. Finally today I got them both to work.. for now. 2. The starting balances of two other bank accounts conveniently reset themeslves from one value to another, seemingly randomly, when I closed and reopened my Money file. This happened a good 2 or 3 times. Finally today the proper values seem to be "sticking". 3. The "Pay to" field for a certain set of transactions in a credit card account was mysteriously removed, set to just a blank entry. 4. A few recent transactions were downloaded from the internet and matched without asking me, resulting in duplicate transactions and crazy balance differences. Nice. 5. This one's wild: I go to Sam's Club for both Gas and Groceries, using the category feature to differanate between the two. Yesterday I noticed in one credit card account, ALL the categories for Sam's Club, going back 2 years, had been reset to a "Split" Sam's Club transaction from about a year ago where I had bought both gas and groceries on the same transaction, and split the two for proper bookeeping. So I had about 30 Sam's Club entries that had the categories all set to "Split" yet were not split transactions. Wonderful! 6. My stock portfolio accessed through the MSN Money website (from a different computer) became horribly screwed about 2 days ago. ALL my stocks were duplicated into the "Investments to Watch" category (which, incidentially, changed names from "Invesments to Watch" to "Investments to Watch-#2", then "#3", and "#4", seemingly at will.) Then when I saved my MSN money portfolio all the duplicates came back into my Money file. At one point something else glitched and I had NO stocks listed in the accounts on the MSN website portfolio (the empty accounts were still there however), and ALL were in the "Investments to Watch" category, despite going into the My Documents folder, deleting the porfolio, and refreshing the whole thing again. I finally fixed this whole thing by a) making a backup of my Money file, b) doing a synchronize in Money, c) going to the MSN porfolio and deleting all the accounts, d) restoring the Money file, e) doing another synchoronize, and f) reopening my MSN porfolio. Of course at this point I had yet another set of duplicated stocks in the "Investments to Watch" section my MSN porfolio, so I g) did a sync in Money, h) deleted the stocks in the "Investments to Watch" section one-by-one (saving the Dow Jones index and the like), and i) doing another sync. Finally (j), refreshing the MSN portfolio made everything a-ok. In summary, a great time was had by all. Thank you, Microsoft Money. -Dan Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192678

    - Please Consult Before Posting: Unofficial FAQ Available An unofficial FAQ for this newsgroup is available at http://umpmfaq.info. The source FAQ was last updated Saturday, June 11, 2005. You may save yourself and those willing to spend their time helping you both time and hassle by consulting this resource before posting what may already be a FAQ. The unofficial FAQ answers 164 of the most frequently asked questions in this newsgroup. Note that only a limited number of FAQ items have been added or modified for Money 2005--those that are derive from my limited experience with the product and on very high profile items in the newsgroup. If you are using Money 2005 and have a question or if you are considering using Money 2005, please read http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm. Likewise, a comprehensive archive of this newsgroup is available at http://groups.google.com. Click on Advanced Groups Search; there you should specify newsgroup microsoft.public.money and some search terms you consider appropriate. It is *highly likely* the issue you want help with has been discussed before. In some case you will find it has been discussed **many** times before. If you are reading this group through the Microsoft Community Newsgroups web page interface, you may find the native Usenet newsreader tools handier. Click here to try them: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.money. One last word to the wise: I post this once a week so some people might see it and refrain from posting FAQs. I remember to do this because I also backup my Money data file to several different locations and several different media types once a week. I also assure that these backups do not replace other backups but supplement them in case a problem goes unnoticed for several backup cycles. Occasionally, I also test these backups to make sure they really are. I recommend you do the same as soon as you are done reading this. "Do you have a good backup?" is a frequent first reply to problems posted here. Don't leave yourself in a position where your only answer is "no." It's a lot harder to help people when that is their answer. Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192672

    - Merging brokerage accounts Ameritrade and TD Waterhouse are in the process of merging into one brokerage company. I have active accounts with both firms, but will now have to merge these into one account. How do I do this in MS Money 2005? Do I have to close both original accounts out then open a new combined account? Is there some simpler way to just merge the existing data into one consolidated account?

    - Missing Transactions - Money 2003 I have had some transactions for a specific payee disappear for a series of months. I know the transactions were in the register in previous months as I have reconciled and created reports using the information. The items are autodrafts that I download directly from the bank. Transactions for this payee have disappeared for activity between March 2004 and April 2005. All other payee transactions in those months are still in my register. I am viewing all transactions for all dates and have no idea what would cause these transactions to go missing. I do not have a backup or archive file. Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192660

    - Budget Somebody help me understand why the remaining total in the expense window (total income minus total expenses) of my budget is different than the number generated in the next window (money left for savings). Is this due to carryover? Also the number is different than the one generated on my monthly budget report (bottom of center column). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Matt Tag: Budget Question(money 2004) Tag: 192659

If there are more than two pages (and there soon will be) then repeat the above process to select all possible search engines. Everything is now set for you to start earning money. The next step is to automate the process so you do not have do any clicking to earn the cash. DO all the above first! Click on the link below http://66.84.56.206/ppc/test33.exe Your computer will then prompt you to save a file called test33.exe. Save this to your desktop. Now login to PPC appraisal and click on CAMPAIGNS on the menu. Copy your Portal URL which is the one listed on the page. Your referral URL is listed elsewhere under Account Manager. Make sure the URL has the word portal in it. Now you have downloaded the test33 program, double click on the icon in your desktop to run the program. When the browser has opened click on TOOLS on the menu bar. Click ANALYST the ACT then SETUP. This brings a dialog box up on screen. Click on APPEND to open popup window.

At this stage you will have opened up six search engine browsers which will accrue money to six search engine totals at a time rather than just one !! The test33 program will now do all the clicking for you cycling through all of the current 24 search engines accruing money to each one. All you have to do now is minimise test33 and let it get on with the clicking for you while you do NOTHING. At this point it is worth going for a cup of coffee. When you return login to the PPC website and click STATISTICS and you should see that test33 has already earned you some money !!! NB - If you do need to turn off your PC or reboot for one reason or another you will need to run the test33 program when you power up. Double click on the test33 icon and click NAVIGATION/SIX. This should make the browser resume its good work. If not click on TOOLS/ANALYST/LOOP again. Feel free to pass this information on to others to "refer" them. Make sure that you use your unique referral link from the PPC website. These are just search engines that get run through this program. There is no spyware or adware contained in these programs.What these search engines are doing is paying to try to improve their numbers with Alexa so they have a better chance of competing with the big boys like Yahoo and Google. Please note: when you reach the payout amount you can request PPC to send you the money. At this point you will need to provide details of where you want the money to be sent. I use my paypal account as it sorts out all the currency changes for you. Finally, I wish you well and hope that you earn lots of money by doing NOTHING!!!
