    - Using Money Premium in Canada I have been using Money for 9 years now and am quite pleased with it. I am currently using the Canadian Edition of Money 2000. I use it on nearly a daily basis to track my income, expenses and investments. I would like to upgrade to a new version to be sure that my stock quotes and bank downloads will continue to work and hopefully gain some of the improvements and fixes that have occurred in the past 6 years. It appears that Money 2006 Standard does not track investments and it appears that Premium does not work for Canada. Since I have been happy with MS Money I wanted to be sure before I went out and purchased Quicken. Has Microsoft really given up the Canadian market for personal investment tracking to Quicken or do they have some other product or version I am not aware of?

    - Backup file size different from last week I backed up Money today and I noted that the file size was about 10 Meg, but the backup last week was closer to 20 meg. I thought there might be something wrong with the backup I just did, so I did the backup again, to another location, and still it was 10 Meg. What would explain the drastic change? Nothing was deleted during the week. Thanks. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204991

But my Pocket PC 2002, that was communicating without a problem to 2003 it's not able to access Money anymore. I upgraded both, my PC and the Pocket PC to 2005, but I haven't found a way to synch.

    - Recording Merger I've a merger that the wizard doesn't completely handle. BAC & MBNA merged. BAC gave 1:2 shares + some cash. They paid CASH-LIEU for fractional shares. Thus I have the following activity on my statement which I'm trying to record in Money. Before MBNA - 32.7068 shares Now 1/3/06 BAC SHRS rec'd through merger = 16 1/3/06 MBNA Fee = $25 1/3/06 MBNA Merger = (32.7068) = $134.92 (I think this is the cash part of the merger. 1/9/06 BAC CIL On 0.38284 @ 46.62010 = $17.85 (I think this is payout of 1/2 the fractional share left after the 1:2 stock swap) I have NO CLUE how to properly record this in Money 06. Please advise. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204984

    - Money 2006 Transaction Matching-Ugh! This prompted me to add my .02... --- From Daniel Billingsley: a) The abysmal stupid retarded moronic semi-worthless transaction matching when you download transactions from a bank, whereby it matches a $24.89 transaction you entered to "Farmer Jack" on 2/10/2006 to a downloaded $24.62 transaction to "Amoco" on 3/05/2006? I can't count the number of hours of wasted unmatching this kind of stupidity, and I've *NEVER* found that I had just entered a transaction wrong in these cases. --- I have to agree with you. With the transaction matching, I can't figure out what it uses to match downloaded bank transactions with-the amount OR the payee. the preferred payee listing should help SOME, but like me(and probably MANY others), Wal-Mart is a store I shop at the most often for groceries, household, etc. Many times, the match amounts are different and the payee doesn't even LOOK the same or use the same letters in its name. That one is hard to figure out why! My payee list was recently cleaned up and my bank download this morning matched(or mis-matched) over 1/2 my entries and even attempted to match to a reconciled transaction. At least MS Money makes it easy to identify it when (mis)matched so we can match it to something else or just make it a stand-alone altogether. My vote would be for matching to look for amounts first and payees second. That would greatly reduce the time attempting to rematch things. MS MVPS-Anything we can be doing to assist this process when entering stuff? Glenn B. "Returning Money User" Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204981

    - Money can't sync a Certificate of Deposit (BANK VS INVESTMENT) I have a certificate of deposit CD, held at Bank of America, setup through, money that I update manually. Recently, I setup Money 2006 to sync with Bank of America (California). And low and behold it downloaded this account. Unfortunately the downloaded account is a BANK account while the account that I created through MONEY is an INVESTMENT account. Is there any way to merge these two accounts and continue to get udpates on the balance? Really, I would like the account to remain an investment since Money regards CD accounts (wisely) as investments. -- Daniel -- Daniel Blackmon Project Lead - Software Engineer Worldwide Environmental Products Inc.

    - Money won't synchronize with my Etrade account. For some reason I cannot figure out why Money 2006 will not synchronize with my Etrade investment account. I have entered the correct account information but it will not update. Any ideas as to what I can try to make it work properly? This is extremely frustrating. Something like this should be easy to do and work flawlessly. Is that too much to ask for a product i paid for? Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204966

    - Missing Investment Names I have the same stock in two accounts listed with the same symbol but with slightly different names by each broker. When updating from the brokerage sites the Investment Verification pop-up window asks if this investment is already in the portfolio with a different name. It is, but the pull-down list does not show the name I use for this security or the names of other current investments I hold in the portfolio. Is there a way to update the contents of the investment names list? I have removed the positions and reentered them but the names never appear in the list.

    - Sales taxes are not correct. How do I make the sales tax post correctly. The sales taxes are posting per actual money received. They should post per total invoice.

    - Budget in Money 2006 In Budget Summary, there are many options. I want to see a monthly Year-to-Date, not Year-to-Date. In other words, I want to compare my YTD actuals against YTD budgeted. However, I can not find such an option. It only compares the YTD actuals against the Yearly budget. If I have missed it, pleased let me know.

    - Money 2006 is not worth the Money First let me say that I am not a financial wizard. I do have some investments and pay my bills on-line. I am a user of Money 2002. I finally decided to upgrade to Money 2006. I can find very little to cheer about in terms of functionality and human factors. I can not find any significant functional enhancements. The Human Factors are less than "industry standard." Simple things such as "Hide unused accounts" is buried in a menu titled "Sort Accounts by." I was also hoping that there was a way in 2006 to hide unused categories, but could not find that capability. There is no Help unless I an online; what kind of support is this? The Settings Menu item and the included functions are somewhat oblique. Why can not Microsoft make Money's Usability similar to other MS Office products? I will continue to play with it for a day or two. My gut feeling is that I will reinstall 2002 or switch. Thanks for letting me whine, Robert Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204923

    - PayPal Magic! PAYPAL MAGIC!!! (note from recent user: LOL damn thing actually works :O ...) TURN $5 INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW! This is a Money Scheme and Not, I repeat... This is Not a Scam!!! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! Below is the email sent to me: How to Turn $5 into $15,000 in 30 Days with PayPal I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT I turned $5 into $14,706 within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $5 and half an hour of their time to participate in this program: "What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven't made 15 grand yet, I'm already up to $9,135. I'm absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio "Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like you said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan Tovar, NY,NY "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" -Richard Barrie , Boulder,CO The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal account with at least $5 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here's what you need to do. . . REQUIREMENTS [THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED VERBATUM FOR THIS TO WORK] #1) an email address #2) a Premier or Business PayPal account Now follow the steps: 1-4 STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this to the address bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure "https" within the link) Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not just a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from other people. STEP #2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive." Now all you have to do is send $5.00 by way of PayPal to each of the six email addresses listed below. After setting up your free paypal account and confirming or verifying YOUR ACCOUNT AND putting (five Dollars) $5.00 into your Paypal Account use the Account tab on Paypal to send $5.00 to each of the Names on the List then move the top one and place yours in the #5 spot on the list of names #1-#5. Remember your name becomes #5. Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal.. so please don't forget!) Note: (If you do not see the full email address for the 5 members, just hit reply to this email and they will show up.) (Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal account yet, use this link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com #1) beddy1151@gmail.com #2) fuspow@yahoo.co.uk #3) terribird@voila.fr #4) honestman123@lycos.com #5) mattjwest@hotmail.com Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A Business... An Email List Service Business If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws. STEP #3 - Adding Your Email Address After you send your five $1.00 payments, it's your turn to add your email address to the list! Take the #1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses up one (5 becomes 4 & 4 becomes 3, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one used in your PayPal account) as #5) on the list. **MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT.** STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc...... The Pure Joy of Receiving PayPal Money! You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200 newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and me rich!!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed. Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank account is being confirmed. HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer's temporary memory. Step #2) Open a blank 'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy to a Word Document. and Place in the email upon completion. Step #3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then search with subjects like? millionaire message board? or money making message board? or opportunity message board? or money making discussions? or business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message. Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'Paste' from the 'Edit' menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations! THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money within days! **JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.** Explanation of why it works so well: $$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 5 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $5.00?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't another one of those crazy scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works! With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones, https://www.paypal.com $$$$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON'T PASS THIS UP Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204922

    - New User: Transfers between Accounts After getting fed up with Quicken not being able to download the correct information from my Schwab account I downloaded the trial version of Money today. I must say that so far it is much easier to use with Quicken but I have a couple of issues: 1. Is there a way to set-up a category that is not income or expense but rather a transfer to Investment Account or transfer to Checking, etc? When I view reports it is thrown off by these types of transfers. 2. Is there a way to change asset allocation categories to included International equities, etc.?

    - Expenditure does not seem to go into correct catagory Hello, I recently financed 3600.00 for dental work. The method of finace is a credit card valued at the total amout financed, payable over a year (0% for the first year) . I wanted to assign the total amout to "health care: dental" so it will show up on my tax form. (schedule A ?) in 2006. First I setup a credit card account with 0 balance. Then I charged 3600.00 to the account, using Healthcare:dentist as the catagory. Afterwards I use the speacial catagory "Transfer : Checking" to pay the monthly amount. I see that the 3600.00 listed in the catagory "Healthcare: dentist" but if I run an estimated tax report I see the total amout listed in the Previous Year 2005 health care section and not in "Current Tax Year 2006" health care section. Q: Have I set this up correctly? Thanks for you help, Bruce p.s The date for the total charged (3600.00) is Jan 4 2006 Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204899

    - Missing transactions again...... *Sigh* My Money 2006 Premium is losing downloaded transactions again. After spending two hours on the phone with MS tech support in December and not finding a solution I had to abandon my money data file with four years of data and set up a new one. Ive spent the last six weeks getting everything right in the new file. Then this morning I open Money and it tells me I have 5 downloaded statements to read. I open the list of accounts with statements, and my checking account has (5) in parenthesis - indicating 5 downloaded transactions from my bank. When I open the register there is only one bolded transaction for review. Nothing new since Jan 31. Logging on to my bank shows the other four transactions that have occured since 1/31. So Money knows how to count and it obviously sees the transactions, but wont show them to me. Its affecting at least 2 other accounts - the number of indicated transactions for the accounts is going up, but nothing new in the register. I'm so dang frustrated I cant even see straight! My MS Money logs in with my passport so its doing this by 'background banking" - Im not manually downloading statements. This stuff worked fine for years until last December, and now its happened to me twice. Ive been through the support kb and followed the steps (repair the file, delete temp internet files, reinstall money) and nothing helps. Anyone got any good ideas this time around? Im at my wits end. Im calling support in the morning to get my money back (Ive paid twice now for a single copy, but thats another story) or to get someone that can really go through my file and help me. Can anyone help? Mark Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204897

    - When does MS typically update Money Tax Settings? In past years MS automatically updates the Tax Settings (for Single, Married, etc.) reflecting tax brackets, exemption/deduction cutoffs, etc. for the current tax year sometime during the year. Does anyone remember when during the year these usually appear? (Clicking on Update tax data in the tax section to force the issue ain't doing it.) Or do you already have correct data for 2006 (M05 or M06 users)? (IRS has released the data--see instructions for making 2006 estimated quarterly payments.) I have M04 and don't remember when 2005 data came in. So far I am using the Custom setting with hand entered data for the current year--2006 tax settings.

    - Settin Up Equity Options I'm having trouble setting up equity options. When I set up the investment and get to the instruction in the User's Guide that says "Under Create New Investment, click Equity/Index Option", I don't have an Equity/Index Option choice. I've tried the Index, Mutual Fund, Other, Stock investment options but, when I try to "sell to open" a covered call, I'm told that option is not available for the investment type. How do I set the correct investment type for equity options? Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204857

    - Bill Calendar and Debt Planner? How do they work together? Ok I have read all I could find but I can't seem to find anything that explains how the debt planner and bill calendar work together. For the explanation of what I am doing I will talk of only one bill. I entered my Providian credit card in the bill calendar. It is also in the debt planner that has me paying a different amount so I will hit the pay off debt date. I don't pay my bills through money because my bank doesn't allow that just downloading of the statements. I am hoping when I pay the Providian credit card from my banks website and download the statements to money that the bill calendar will know its been paid and delete or cross out the bill showing its been paid. Using it as a check list would be great that way one glance at the calendar I'll know what I have paid and what still needs to be paid. Will the debt planner talk to the calendar? I saw a setting on the bill calendar to auto fill in my banks register a few days before payment. I tried this once but it appears that when the statement downloads it doesn't see the two entries are the same. What are the keys that tie two register entries together? If it's the payment amount, that won't work because the debt planner adjusts the amount plus sometimes I want to pay more than I budgeted for. During one test the bill was grayed out with a line through it. Not sure what I did to make this happen. Any help understanding how this all ties together would be great.

    - Please Consult Before Posting: Unofficial FAQ Available An unofficial FAQ for this newsgroup is available at http://umpmfaq.info. The source FAQ was last updated Friday, January 13, 2006. You may save yourself and those willing to spend their time helping you both time and hassle by consulting this resource before posting what may already be a FAQ. The unofficial FAQ answers 169 of the most frequently asked questions in this newsgroup. Note that only a limited number of FAQ items have been added or modified for Money 2005--those that are derive from my limited experience with the product and on very high profile items in the newsgroup. Many of these items apply directly to Money 2006. If you are using Money 2005 or 2006 and have a question or if you are considering using Money 2005, please read http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm. As noted at http://umpmfaq.info/Money2006.htm, my limited use of the Money 2006 trial indicates that much of what I wrote a year ago is still applicable to Money 2006. Likewise, a comprehensive archive of this newsgroup is available at http://groups.google.com. Click on Advanced Groups Search; there you should specify newsgroup microsoft.public.money and some search terms you consider appropriate. It is *highly likely* the issue you want help with has been discussed before. In some case you will find it has been discussed **many** times before. If you are reading this group through the Microsoft Community Newsgroups web page interface, you may find the native Usenet newsreader tools handier. Click here to try them: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.money. One last word to the wise: I post this once a week so some people might see it and refrain from posting FAQs. I remember to do this because I also backup my Money data file to several different locations and several different media types once a week. I also assure that these backups do not replace other backups but supplement them in case a problem goes unnoticed for several backup cycles. Occasionally, I also test these backups to make sure they really are. I recommend you do the same as soon as you are done reading this. "Do you have a good backup?" is a frequent first reply to problems posted here. Don't leave yourself in a position where your only answer is "no." It's a lot harder to help people when that is their answer. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204848

    - How to record sell of asset & see true cost? I had bought a car 4 years ago on loan and some downpayment. And recently I sold it. I had the following accounts setup in Money 2004 Delux: 1. Car Asset with only Opening Balance of $30,000 2. Car Loan account which tracked Principal and Interest amounts (the loan is fully paid) 3. Auto category as Expense category with sub categories such as Purchase Cost (downpayment), Fuel costs, Insurance, etc. All car expenses were tracked under one of these sub categories. I would like to record the sell of the car. Where would I record it and how would I categorize so that I can get a 'true' report of the cost of the car (including operating costs). Which report will provide me this information? Thanks. Masai -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204840

    - Identifies separate accounts but duplicates transactions of one After set up NEW ACCOUNT (Banking), Deluxe 2006 goes online and finds the 3 accounts I have at my institution. On â??Confirm Account Typeâ?? Money correctly identifies the 3 accounts with their varying balances (only one account has a balance above $0.00, so the other two are blank, so only â??Check Acct. Aâ?? lists a balance, which is correct) as well as their correct last four digits. On â??Are you already keeping track of these accounts in Moneyâ?? I select No. Money then lists the three accounts on its Home Page, as well as under Banking but now the accounts with no balances have the exact balance of â??Check Acct. Aâ?? as well as IT'S transaction history, and everything is being tabulated throughout Money completely inaccurately. Hence: Check Acct. Aâ?¦â?¦ correct balanceâ?¦.correct transaction history Check Acct. Bâ?¦Wrong Balance, actually has that of Aâ??sâ?¦Wrong transactions, actually dulplicate of Aâ??s Savings Acctâ?¦.Wrong Balance, actually has that of Aâ??sâ?¦Wrong transactions, actually duplicate of Aâ??s This is what Money has downloaded and accepted for all three accounts. Iâ??d appreciate any ideas to resolve this major bug that has rendered Money effectively useless for me? I will send a response shortly with what Iâ??ve attempted so far to correct it.

    - Windows 98 & Money Deluxe 2006 I've been using Money Standard 2004. My operating system is still Windows 98. Any problems running a new copy of Money "DELUXE" 2006 which I purchased(deal with taxcut I bought). I'm concerned before I load it as the box doesn't list "W98". If it's ok, then how about compatablity of old data especially since I had been using Money 04 "Standard". Bill F. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204833

    - Tax Software Report MSM Deluxe 2006 How do I get the "Tax Related Transactions" report and the "Tax Software Report" to list dividends and reinvested dividends that are entered as an activity in an investment account? The only dividends listed in these reports are a couple of incorrect entries I made where I entered the transaction directly into a bank account and chose "dividend" for the category. It seems like the program does not recognize the investment activity of "dividend" or "reinvested dividend" as income. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204823

    - Mutual Fund Merger As of next week one of my mutual funds is being merged into another mutual fund. This will be a non-taxable transaction in which the cost basis of the original shares will be maintained in the new mutual fund. How can I make this change in Microsoft Money? If I sell all the original shares and buy the shares in the new fund at the new price on the transfer day, the cost basis will be lost. I cannot simply "rename" the fund because the share price will be very different. Tag: Dramatic Size change in Money 2006 file Tag: 204817

Because databases do strange things internally sometimes?

Have you run repair since that time? It may compress the database.
