I recently got a copy of Money 2004 and coverted my Quicken 99 database.
The conversion went fine and it mostly all works, but when I try to view my
portfolio in performance mode, Money crashes. The crash is a little odd in
that Windows doesn't ask to send an error report to Microsoft. Any ideas?

For those technically inclined, I attached a debugger to the msmoney.exe
process and repeated the steps that lead to the crash. The debugger reports
a lot of floating-point overflow exceptions just before the process
terminates, so perhaps Money thinks I have a zero-cost basis for some of my
securities and it's not telling me what the problem is - it's just crashing.
This isn't terribly friendly behaviour - Money should detect that a problem
is going to occur and inform me where the problem is so I can take
corrective action. There don't seem to be any patches to Money 2004
available that might fix this problem.

Patches are distributed through Money's Internet Update and no other way.
