Employee Share Option Account corruption

MS Money 2002 Financial Suite version 10.0 (UK)

I am encountering regular corruption of my Money file, and is not cured by
the salvage utilities.

I have isolated the corruption to one particular account: an investment
account used for tracking employee share options.

The corruption can only be removed by manually recreating the complete
account. Voiding specific transactions has no effect, even if all
transactions are voided!

The corruption only shows up when I run a Monthly Report.

The account is fed from my current account, via components of a Payslip
transaction, which are Transfers to the cash account part of the investment
account.

I am fed up with having to regularly recreate this account, which now
contains many transactions.

Is this bug known to anyone? Has it been cured by later versions possibly?

I've been reluctant to upgrade from Money 2002 FS to-date as I've read later
versions are no better and may even be functionally retrograde to my current
version.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thank you.

A thought and I haven't tried it but - oh and take copies of your .mny file
before starting - what about exporting the offending account to QIF,
deleting the account and then importing from the QIF. May not fix it and may
cause further unforeseen problems.

Thank you for your suggestion. Employee Share Option transactions are not
supported by QIF (according to Money) and such transactions are ignored by
the Export. The corruption must be somewhere outside of the investment
transactions exported/imported.
