    - Reading Statement - Reconcilation process I started using Money 2000 and can now download statement from my bank (Barclays). The problem is that for most transactions I have to go and manually set the category and/or subcategory because Payee name is dowloadded with a reference number. Is there a way to make Money recognise the Payee and set the category automatically regardless same Payee variancies? Thanks a bunch! Dren Tag: Does the New Worth Report have a fault Tag: 156562

    - Money product feature replies from Microsoft I am trying to determine if I want to buy MS Money and convert from Quicken. I have been unable to locate any Microsoft URL or email address for feature information. All I find is support links which want to charge for product I already own. Is there a pre-sales site or email address in which Microsoft will respond to product feature questions? Thanks, MP Tag: Does the New Worth Report have a fault Tag: 156557

    - I don't like being required to have a Passport to use "Background Banking" Is there some way to do "Bacground Banking" without a Passport? How about removing this requirement for this feature (BUG), like in previous versions of Money? I don't trust Microsoft using a Passport to save all my passwords online and out of my control. I don't like or trust Passport at all. I see no need to have to require me to use a Passport when this feature worked just fine in previous versions without it. I am able to manually update Money by clicking the "Internet Update/Update Now" option, but it was nice to have this done automatically when I opened MsMoney. If Microsoft continues in this fashion and requires Passport for even more features to work, then I will either have to go back to a previous version of Money, which doesn't expire, or switch to another program like Quicken, Emma, GnuCash, jGnash or QHacc.

    - Can I control the time of Internet updates? I have certain of my credit cards to update once a day, and I noticed it seems to do that right around midnight. I suspect one of the cards has their systems doing something then, as the update for that one always fails. But when I do another update in the morning or any other time, it succeeds. So I was wondering if I could change it to do the update at a time other than midnight, but it doesn't seem to give me that ability? thanks Tag: Does the New Worth Report have a fault Tag: 156554

    - need help with budget in Money 2002 I am having a problem with the budget tool in Money 2002. When I set up a savings goal it won't let me put all my extra income into the savings goal. It says I don't have enough. For example if my income is $5000 per month and my expenses are $3000 per month I should have $2000 per month to spend or save. If I make a goal of $18000 per year savings it says I don't have enough and that I only have enough to save $12000. I don't understand. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    - Petty (and unnecessary) Money annoyances Adding an index to watch is unnecessarily hard. Worse, why the fixed list?!?!?!? So if I want to add one that's not in that list, I effectively have to waste one of those by renaming it and changing its symbol? To what end? Why not just let me add one?!? You can't add an investment without associating it with an account and, unless you put it in the watch account, you have no choice but to create the investment with a buy or with shares. Why? Why not just let me define one? Maybe I'll buy it next week. And I guess I never really appreciated how incredibly tenacious Money is not only about a symbol for a deleted investment--even if it has NO transaction activity associated with it--but about the name as well. You not only have to delete the symbol, but you have to mangle the name and, I'm guessing, you'll still be carrying this utterly useless data with the data file 10 years from now. Why, oh why?????

    - Portfolio & Checking Account I am using my MS Money as my investing porfolio manager. This worked great until I started buying and selling. My portfolio is linked to my checking account and everytime I buy or sell a stock the money goes into or out of my checking account. My question is how do I make my portfolio so that it is indepent of my checking account. I don't care if I have to make up a seperate account I just cannot have it use my personal chekcing account, it makes reconciling a nightmare.

    - Online stock/fund price update erratic in Money 2002 In the past this function worked OK.

When I start adding the old stocks back, it will update some, but not all. I am forced to do this unchecking and checking multiple times to get an update done. Any suggestions?

    - Balancing credit cards...really any accounts I notice this whenever I balance my accounts, particularly the credit card accounts. Whenever I get done reconciling I am prompted to adjust the beginning balance for equal amounts positive and negative. Why is that? I could see having to do this one time, but I don't understand why it is every single time without fail. I've looked at the help files in my Money 2002 Standard and just don't see a whole lot that is useful. During the month, I may write and record payments to the credit card before the statement comes (expense reimbursement management). I do this by recording them as transfers from one account to another...don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. Tag: Does the New Worth Report have a fault Tag: 156508

    - Can I make Money Multiuser Hi I have a site that I support that uses MS Money 2000. I know that they had the scenario that they could open a money file at the same time on a few PCs.

    - Any Slower and I'll Fall Asleep I've been working in Money 2002 for several years. It's getting slower and slower. 10 - 20 seconds of the "hourglass" to record a payment? 30 seconds to accept a new downloaded transaction? Some entries take over 60 seconds! I might as well go back to the pencil and checkbook method! I have 851 MHz with 30 GB hard drive. I defrag once a month... It doesn't help. The most recent defrag exercise tells me I have almost 50% of the hard drive still available. I recently added 256MB to the original 128MB of RAM...no improvement. I have archived all but the last three months of records...no improvement. This can't be normal! Every other program runs fine on this computer. Am I missing something?

    - Bug in Capital Gains Estimator (Money 2004)? I've sold shares this year that resulted in a Long-term gain of (for example) $5,000 with a potential Fed. tax obligation of $750. I wanted to use the Capital Gains Estimator to see the over-all effect of selling shares from another investment at a loss. Inputting a proposed sale of shares which would produce a loss of $10,000 SHOULD result in a net loss of $5,000 and zero tax obligation (shouldn't it?). The Cap Gains Estimator, however, (correctly) shows a final loss of $5,000, but still indicates the $750 tax obligation. This seems to also be the case with the calculations for State cap gains tax. Am I missing something? Has this been discussed previously? (A search didn't pull anything up.) Tag: Does the New Worth Report have a fault Tag: 156467

    - Coversion from Quicken I am considering changing from using Quicken and turning to Money. How good is the conversion capability of Money? Is it a rather seamless and efficient operation? Quicken has problems even doing an Export/Import to a new file in their program. It is by way of a rather antiqated file known as a Qif file that has been left behind by the changes in the new versions. Any help much appreciated. It will help me out with my decision to switch.

When I calculate my new worth in MS Money 2000 (old
version I know) it adds my assets and liabilities instead
of subtracting them.

For example, if my savings, checking, investments total
$10,000.00 and my liabilities total $5000.00, MS Money
calculates my net worth as $15,000.00. Shouldn't my net
worth be $5,000.00? Shouldn't it subtract my liabilities
instead of add them?

Please let me know if there is a glich in the software and
how I can fix it.

Also please let me know if I am financially inept.

Thanks,

In your example, the net worth should be $5,000.00. You may have an account
setup wierd, or there may be some corruption in your money file.

Try this: open the net worth report, go into the customization screen for
it, and reset it. Then select 'accounts' for the level of detail, go to the
accounts tab, make sure closed accounts are showing and then make sure all
accounts are selected. See what the report looks like then.

If that does not get you anywhere, I would backup your datafile and run the
repair tool on it.
