Dissapointed with new version
Other than making their app seem pretty I can't believe
the small business version falls so short in the simplest
ways.
Recurring Invoices should be something they should have
added by now since it would make my life easier every
month come billing time and the invoice designer does nto
work!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is just for starters but get those 2 to work and I
will be a happy man, if not it looks like it is time for
me to look somewhere else for a better app. Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176343

Money Deluxe 2004 trial upgrade problems
I downloaded the trial for deluxe a couple of months ago
and recently, through money, upgraded to the real version
for $42.50. They gave me a number which i stupidly didn't
write down. Then something downloaded onto my computer and
the "trial version" seemed to go away. The very next day I
go to it and it says "trial version" again. My questions
are:
1. Will i be sent a cd of money in the mail soon?
2. Do i need to use that number to do something with the
program to make it better again?
3. Can i ever be sent that number again?

Massive Random Upgrade Corruption in Money 2005
In going from Money 2004 to 2005 I am getting random corruption. I have
done the upgrade multiple times and get different results each time. There
are three main problems that I have been able to identify already.
1. Opening Balances on accounts reset to 0.
2. Upcoming bills duplicated up to 10 times.
3. Categories duplicated up to 5 times.
All 3 problems can be time consumingly repaired manually. However I have a
fear of the problems I don't see. Also it really scares me that it changes
everytime I do the upgrade. I have been using Money since '97 and have had
little problems with online downloads and logins. This is by far the worst
problem I have had yet, what happened with this product? Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176301
just broke down and bought it...
Alright--with all of the craziness going on here, I
decided to buy 2005 deluxe.
I may get shot for this: but, I like it. Everything
converted just fine.
A couple of points:
1. I ran the Standard Error Checker on the .mny file to
ensure it was clean.
2. I made a backup copy (and another just in case!)
3. I installed 2005; however, I created a new .mny file
FIRST instead of letting it do the conversion without
doing the updates.
4. I let the updates download and install; then, I
converted the file.
LASTLY: When I downloaded my c/c accounts I did get a
DUPLICATE. WHY? It is the OTHER credit card in my
wife's name. All I did was "close" the account and it
went away.
Good luck folks. Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176300

this is way it is.

Money 2005 Small Business - Custom Invoices gone after upgrade from 2k4?
I upgraded from Money 2k4 Small Business (SB) to Money 2k5
SB last week - and my custom invoice is gone! I've seen
some other posts on this but nothing definitive (yes,
I'ver searched first; TechNet too.)
Fortunately, I said a copy of the invoices to a .INV file
(when I had the portrait/landscape fiasco in 2k4). SO, I
go into Money Invoice Designer and import it. Comes in
fine, and I see my invoice - but when I save it an exit,
the invoice STILL isn't there.
In Money, I tried to import the .INV file, and I get an
error saying it can't import items made before 2002 - wtf?
Do we have a definitive answer on this? I use Money SB to
actually BILL my clients and I can't without my invoice.
Well, I suppose I *can* using a generic/default
invoice...but c'mon, how professional is THAT going to
look?

Money 2005 Small Biz Edition
I am having a problem with the small biz edition of Money
2005. I am not that familiar with the product so hopefully
this will be an easy fix, but according to all the
Microsfot directions, I am doing everything correctly.
I want to create a custom invoice for my company, so I
used the invoice designer and saved it to where ever it
defaults to. OnceI did that, I put all the appropriate
customer info in, and created the invoice. I went to print
it, and it did not have my custom invoice as a selection
possibility, nor was there an option to locate the
template. If I do a step by step according to the
directions according to Microsofts directions, I am doing
everything correctly.

do?

Comments on Microsoft Money 2005 Premium
Since 1998, I've been a Microsoft Money user. Over the years, I've
upgraded my version a few times. However for the last two years, I've
used MS Money 2003 Deluxe. I decided to pass on MS Money 2004, and I
purchased Money 2005 Premium on Friday.
For the last couple of months, I was curious about the new features of
the product, and read these news groups for some clues. So now that
I've used the product myself, I figure that I'll pass along my
thoughts:
MS Money 2005 is only slighly better than MS Money 2003. In earnest, I
found very few differences between the two programs. The home page
provides mostly the same information. The tabs on top were also the
same: Accounts, Bills, Portfolio, etc. The general interface has not
changed at all.
However there were some new features that I liked, and some features
that they have not improved upon which was disappointing. Keep in mind
that some of these updates may have been done in the 2004 version. I
recognize this. Here are my two bis:
1) The best improvement in the product is the ability to track up to
three specific budget categories for overages. This appears on the
home page. For me there are plenty of budget categories that stay the
same each month (i.e. rent, cable, etc.), but there are those that
change (i.e. food: groceries, food: dining out, etc.). Being able to
easily track these categories is a benefit. However, why did Microsoft
limit the number of categories to 3? Hopefully in 2006, MS will allow
users to track an unlimited number?
2) I think that the ability to use MS Money 2005 online is good. It is
a great improvement over the www.moneycentral.com feature in MS Money
2003 which never really worked. The new feature appears to give you
better access to your accounts. HOWEVER, in the overall scope of
things, this feature is not that useful. I use yodlee.com to access my
accounts online, and that yodlee website is so great that I cannot see
myself using moneycentral online. The yodlee.com website can give you
the most updated information on your accounts. Yodlee.com also has
access to more accounts. [I discuss this issue below in greater
deatil].
**** ALERT: I had problems updating from Money 2003 to 2005. Two
years ago, I tried using the moneycentral functionality with 2003. I
quickly realized that moneycentral was not that great, and abandoned
the accounts online. When I booted Money 2005 for the first time, the
program synced with moneycentral, and uploaded old account information
from moneycentral into Money 2005. It was a problem because these old
accounts had the same names as some of my current accounts. I was
nervious erasing these old accounts because I didn't want to accidently
erase my current accounts.
3) PROBLEM: After upgrading from 2003 to 2005, I found that a lot of my
investment accounts were no longer balanced. It seems that all of my
sales were being recorded as expenses. The cash accounts for these
investment accounts now had huge negative balances. Here was my
solution: I went to each of the sale transactions on the investment
account, and I toggled the "transfer to" account from the correct cash
account to a different cash account and then back to the correct cash
account. This fixed the problem. However it took about an hour to
fix, and was frustrating.
4) I've read about people complaining about the speed of Money 2005. I
find the program to be no slower or faster than 2003.
5) Here's something that's frustrating. Www.yodlee.com is able to
scrub a user's financial websites and pull off information. I don't
understand why MS Money can't use the same technology to pull
information from banks and investment houses that are not compatible
with MS Money, but still have online services. Microsoft says they
incorporate yodlee in their product, but obviously they are not using
some of yodlee's best features. It's really fustrating to have to do
any type of manual input into the program.
6) Lastly, this is not a knock on 2005 Premium, but on the these types
of programs in general. The planning functions are rather simplistic,
and cannot take into account the specifics that a user needs to make
the planner useful for one's own case. For instance with the budget
planner, it's really annoying that the program will disribute over
twelve months a one-time expected expense or receipt. This just throws
off the entire budget. The long term planner is absolutely ridiculous
because no one can make these kind of assumptions thirty years into the
future.
7) On a postive note, the program seems to do a better job at the
investment performance chart (this is found on the monthly reports
page). In the 2003 version, the chart was never accurate. At least
for my accounts.
Again overall, I found the 2005 Premium program to be almost identical
to the 2003 Deluxe program. The program has no new programs. It only
carries over some of the old ones. However, as an avid user of MS
Money. I thought it was worth the money. In fact, I purchased it from
Microsoft, and here's the deal I got. It cost me about $85 (tax and
shipping included), but I got the $30 rebate from MS, and a $9.99 from
Money magazine. If you read the fine print, you can get a rebate
instead of actually subscribing. I also got $10 off my next Microsoft
purchase as long as it's before November 30, 2004.
If anyone has questions, or comments, I check for replies. Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176260
File Names for MSN Portfolio and for MSMoney05
I am tryng to employ syndhronization with M05. Although it takes overnight,
eventually my portfolio as kept in M05 then is available on MSN. When I
close MSN it asks to save my file to the same name that M05 uses. Is this
correct. Are they now in fact the same file, just available in two
different places--on my local computer and on MSN servers, or should they be
saved on my computer under two different file names as they were before I
upgraded to M05. If I do not allow the MSN to back up onto my computer (to
avoid my original file from being overwritten), then M05 thinks that it
cannot synchronize and asks me to reestablish itself as the origin of the
master file, or at least offers me the choice. Thus, I have ow been able to
view my portfolio on MSN, but have not been able to synch it with M05. Any
of this make sense to anyone? Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176258

portfolio value over time
I run Money 2004 and i can't do some things i think are
really basic - main two (related issues) that bother me
are: 1) is there any way to view the value of my entire
investment portfolio over time (e.g. as a chart showing
basically just price * volume of shares i own for each
investment, combined to show all investments together)?
2) is there any way to view price history for all my
holdings as an indexed value (0% at the start growing up
or down based on % change in price) as opposed to
absolute value? Some shares are $20 each some are $200
each - doesn't make sense to show on the same graph

Classifications in view
When looking at my accounts I usually have "View -> All transaction details"
selected.
This view has always had a 3 line display for each entry with Payee as the
1st line, category and sub category as the 2nd line and memo on the third
line. Now the view has changed and there are 4 lines displayed. The new
line now is "Classification 1" I want to get rid of this. I don't use
Classifications and only recently learned of Classifications when I was
editing my list of categories and payees. I'm assuming that when I simply
looked at my classifications MS Money got it in its head that I want to see
them in my accounts. How do I turn this off and get back to my 3 line
display.

Money 2005 success
I installed Money 2005 in a vmware session so I could test a conversion of
my Money 2004 file. This file was 23MB in size and contains ~10 years of
data.
Everything converted fine. All the balances are correct. Even my stock
account (Ameritrade) and 401K accounts are ok.
The Bills/Deposits section is all correct. No old, deleted items magically
reappared. None of the frequencies changed.
I was able to download all my statements just as before (well except for
Ameritrade but that doesn't work in Money 2004 right now either). I didn't
have to assign my NET account to the Money file to download bank
transactions.
I'm surprised I have had no problems with it. At this point the only
complaint I have is relatively minor: there is less usable space for the
register. Because of the extra crap at the top, it shows 4 or 5 less
register entries than Money 2004.
Just thought I'd share my experience so far. I may work with 2005 along
with 2004 for a week or so before I decide to install it on my main
operating system. Tag: MS 2005 Deluxe trial posted Tag: 176203
