    - Money 2004 slow I just installed Money 2004 and it seems to work fine only that it is extremely slow. Sometimes it takes a full minute to view one line transaction time from another. Other app programs on my system all work fine. This one seems to be the only one to be so slow. I have a Celeron 466 with 192 mb RAM and 30 gb harddrive. Any help to increase speed of program would be appreciated. Thank you, Fortino Tag: Data file security Tag: 145790

    - suppress detail in a report? I have a trial version of MS Money 2004. I want to generate a report based on Classification 1 and would like to see a summary only with no detail.. just the amounts for each Classification. I do not see an option in the custom report generator to suppress the detail (in Rows & Columns). Have I overlooked this option? If so, how do I accomplish this? Thanks!

    - System Failures after Money 2003 I have had a new PC for 18 months running on XP and Money 99 without any problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded to Money 2003 and now the problems have started. Firstly I am unable to download bank statements - although it suggests they've been downloaded but, unlike before, I have no idea where they go and secondly my PC has shutdown half a dozen times with 'NT Authority System Remote Procedure Call(RPC) Failure'. These shutdowns have even occurred when I've tried sending an email with attachments! I have no viruses and so can only conclude this is a result of the Money upgrade. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea how to fix it? Tag: Data file security Tag: 145773

My question: Everytime I "click on" my Money icon on desktop, the Windows Installer trys to install it again and I can't just open money. Then a pop up comes up & says "please insert Money 2004 CD".

    - Disappearing Payees in Money 2002 and 2003 *is fixed* in Money 2004 For those of you that are experiencing disappearing payee problems please read the work that I have done on this issue in the following posts: Just click the long url link that follows: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=lY4Xa.57679%24o27.1299056%40twister.rdc-kc.rr.com After I defined the conditions of the problem, I was able to easily duplicate the disappearing payees problem in Microsoft Money 2003 Deluxe. I do want to post that the issue *was corrected* in Money 2004 Deluxe. I am unable to duplicate the missing/disappearing payee problem in Money 2004 Deluxe. The issue was resolved in Money 2004. I have included the details of my findings from working on the issue with Money 2003 below: I have duplicated and solved the disappearing payee problem. I have worked on the issue for the past day and a half. I tried many things to figure it out, but I finally found the combination of events that is necessary to get the program to make a payee mysteriously vanish from the explicit list. I can now make any payee vanish from the explicit list at will by doing a certain combination of things. The conditions that are required to duplicate the vanishing payee problem are as follows: 1.. You must have the option in money 2003 under the "Online Services" tab that reads "Replace downloaded payee names with user-altered names when available" selected. 2.. You download a transaction that your bank has given the EXACT same name as a payee in your master list in MS Money (Explanation: say you have a payee in your Money file called "Tom's Diner" ; a lot of times when you download a statement from your bank it will have a weird looking name like "TomDin#2347", but sometimes the name may EXACTLY match the name that is in your Money file's explicit list. I.E. the downloaded transaction will also have the name "Tom's Diner" and be spelled EXACTLY the same as the way you have it spelled in your explicit payee list. This is when the problem occurs) 3.. You accept that downloaded transaction when it is matched to a previously manually entered transaction. When these conditions are met, the payee will vanish off of the explicit list and become implicit immediately after accepting the transaction. There is then no way to make the payee become explicit again, except for a rename and find/replace technique that is a pain. This is definitely a bug, but for now I have found two work arounds. Work around 1: Deselect the option under the "Online Services" tab that reads "Replace downloaded payee names with user-altered names when available" The benefit that is lost by deselecting this option: When Money downloads a transaction into an account register that does not have any matching transaction to go with it, Money will not automatically alias a preferred payee name from the preferred payee names database. You will either have to change the payee name to the one that you want to use before you accept the transaction, or you can just accept the transaction with whatever name is downloaded from your financial institution. ***If you do your accounting the way that I do, having this option deselected will not usually affect you. I always have transactions that I have first manually entered into Money to match to the downloaded transactions before I download a statement. When this is done, the name that was assigned to the transaction when I entered it manually will stick. The option to be deselected was designed more so for people that do not enter their transactions manually before downloading a statement to reconcile against them. Instead they like to save time by having Money create and reconcile their transactions simultaneously when the accept button is selected on their downloaded transactions. Work around 2: (if you desire to keep the "Replace downloaded payee names with user-altered names when available" option selected) Rename the payees in your Money file to names that are very unlikely to ever be exactly the same as the payees that your financial institution assigns. This will not affect transaction matching very much. Money can still do a good job at matching downloaded transactions even though the payee names may not be spelled identically. Things like dates, amounts, check numbers, etc. still let Money be quite accurate when matching downloaded transactions. In addition, when you do match an unequal name for the first time, Money will then add that name to the payee names variation list for that payee, so that future matches for that payee will be even easier for Money to cipher. A simple way to change the payee names in your money file to accomplish this work around would be to append all of them with a special character like one of these "~$%^*&*!+" So instead of calling a payee "Tom's Diner" call it "Tom's Diner*". This work around will not work for online enabled payees, because their names are locked after the first payment to them is made, but when creating future online payee names you can give this some consideration before deciding on a name for them. If you follow these steps, you can stop payees from disappearing from the explicit list. Or as I stated above, you can upgrade to Money 2004. The issue was corrected by Microsoft in that version.

    - Stock quote updates incorrect I'm using MS Money 2002 on Windows 2000 SP4. I connect to the Internet via a DSL connection. I'm able to complete the "Internet updates". I get a message that says, "Call Complete". However, when I compare the current stock price (of lets say JNJ;Johnson and Johnson) with stock quotes from Yahoo!, MSNMOneyCentral and Quicken (which are all the same), I get a different value for the stock price and the daily change.

    - "Rollover" budget buckets I have been keeping a budget in Excel for years and finally convinced myself to start using Money to manange our expenses. However, I'm stumped with trying to set up our budget in Money 2002 because I can't get the sw to do some very simple budgeting techniques. Please help with these issues I'm having - mostly with expenses that we save for all year but do not occur every month (may be 1 time expense for the year, or something like car maintenance that we draw from as needed but allocate some amount in our budget to each month). My main questions are: (1) I have several budget "buckets" that we've been allocating money into all year (such as Christmas gifts, auto insurance, car maintenance). How do I set these up in Money 2002? (2) How do I establish a starting balance for each of these bucket items (i.e., if we have a $1200 budget for the year for Christmas gifts, and it's now August, I've allocated $800 already to Christmas - how do I allocate the $800 to this category in Money 02)? (3)For normal budget items, like groceries, I want the remaining amount not spent in a given month to automatically roll-over to the next month (unless I realocate it to another category). I don't think it is doing this in Money 02. Shouldn't it work this way? Am I missing something? Please let me know what I'm doing wrong! I am so frustrated. I can't imagine that my Excel spreadsheet system I created and have been using for 8 years could possibly have more functionality than Money. Could it? Tag: Data file security Tag: 145744

    - Wachovia/New Account Issue I have an account with Wachovia, which recently merged with First Union. As a result, in order to continue accessing my account via Online Services, I was required to do the following: update my Money 2003 software; disable and then re-enable Online services for my account; update Online Banking; create new payment instructions; etc. Unfortunately, the instructions provided by Wachovia haven't been working for me, no matter what I've tried. So I'm wondering if I can do the following: set up a new Wachovia account (which will only download the last 90 days worth of transactions) and then somehow import the transactions that I've already recorded over the past year.

    - Help, Quicken convert -trouble with Online Transactions or Setup System = Money 2003, Window 98SE, Logging in with Passport.net The Story: When I installed, Setup, Migrated my Quicken file (which all went well) The installation asked me to choose my financial institutions (which I did) it saw all my bank accounts and enabled them for online access. The Problem is: Each accout has a different user name and password (and it has to be that way because of the way my bank does it). So when I set it up, I used the User/Password for the Account I use most frequently. Now when I "connect to bank" using that accout the call summary says "successful" but I get no transactions. My credit Cards seem to be updating properly... In Quicken: I used to connect to each account seperatley with their individual User/Password combos and download transactions for each. What do I need to do heree ? Thanks Ed Tag: Data file security Tag: 145703

    - Help, Money 2004 & Runaway Payee Lists Hi, I recently purchased Money 2004, having used Quicken for some time. I must say that I'm rather impressed with Money 2004! The navigation and audio guidance is a big improvement over Quicken, and I find that the entire program is quicker than Quicken (no pun intended) -- especially the on-line updates and reconciliation processes. Now then, the only frustration I have right now is in managing my Payee lists. I use the online update function to download transaction history for most of my accounts. I cannot figure out how (if it's even possible?) to DISABLE the auto-addition of payees to my permanent list for each and every transaction that gets downloaded. This results in a huge ugly list every time I sync up with my Bank and it clutters the drop down (AutoComplete) menus when manually entering in the Register. Anyone?

    - Re-install causes balance problem. I have just re-installed Win XP and Money 2003. Everything has worked out fine except for the following peculiarity. My credit card balances are wrong in the account window but correct in the main accounts window. I have traced the error to the following incident. On the 22 Dec 1999 a charge of $27.00 left a balance of $1813.19. The next charge of $49.90 left a balance of $3,602,879,703,759.49 and all subsequent charges and payments are based on this new balance error. This was not the case before my re-installation.

The data itself it encrypted, however if a 3rd party were to get the file,
it could be compromised fairly simply through the use of a password cracker.

The question would be how would someone get access to your file; by the
internet or otherwise -- I'd say the odds would be slim.
