Cash Flow Forecast problems

Hello all, I am getting a message that's not really an error message but
unfortunately its driving me crazy.

"Please create at least one checking, savings, or cash account before you go
to the cash flow forecast."

Before you laugh at me - I already have accounts. I don't know what
happened. I have never seen this message before. I can access the accounts
otherwise with no other problem at all. This happens whenever I try to
click on Cash Flow Forecast. It doesn't matter if I click on the menu bar,
tool bar, home page.

HELP! I tried looking at the Knowledge Base without luck.

Thanks
Me

Are your accounts closed? Cash flow needs open accounts

I have 2004 Microsoft Money Deluxe.

I have Checking and Savings accounts open and trying to use cash flow
without luck. I've used it in the past with absolutely no problem.

Me, again.

I am having the same problem. It started yesterday
afternoon. Everything else is working fine, just no cash
flow. And that message is driving me crazy too!

If you figure out what is wrong, please let me know.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the exact same error I was getting
on Cash Flow. It turned out that the bills were messed
up. What I finally had to do to fix it was this:
first print out ALL of your bills - make sure you know
what they are, when they're due, what repeats you have
set, etc. Because you need to delete them. Actually, the
safest thing to do, is to delete them one at time. And
then try to run the cash-flow. Eventually, I found the
one that was bad. Yep, total pain in the a$$!

Easier could be to work with a copy of the file. Delete half of the
bills in the copy. Continue a binary search until you know the
particular bill. Then delete and re-enter that bill in the main
file.

If you had two such bills, that would complicate things.

Hello all!,

I decided to close my checking account and find out how to reopen and it
worked! Something was wrong somewhere - I don't know; however, it's working
now.

Thanks for the hints.

Exact same issue; same lack of resolution. You are not
alone. Anyone else?
