    - Standard Edition Stock Tracking I am debating upgrading to '04 standard. I currently track my stocks and mutual funds on Money. Nothing much, just number of shares, price purchased, current price, return on investment.... I am using '02 standard. Will I notice any difference in '04. I have heard conflicting info about this. Can someone provide some insight on this? Thanks CT Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158476

    - corrupted Money 4.0 file Unexpected crashing of Money 4.0 has corrupted existing file and it will not reopen. Existing (intrinsic)repair utility fails ('error signature' message) as does latest salvage.exe operation ('no broken record' message) Program uninstalled and reinstalled and runs old backup files correctly but not recent ones (attempts to repair all of these - unsuccessfully) Most recent good backup 3 months old - lots of data to re- enter if I cannot fix corrupted file(s) Any other utilities available? Could later versions open (repair) a 4.0 file if it is unhealthy ? Grateful for any help Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158474

    - Bonds in Foreign Currency I'm using Money 2004, and having a problem trying to enter bond purchases in a foreign currency. I'm doing so in a dollar based account. When I enter the bond as a new investment, I go through the process of marking it as an "other bond", and set the country appropriately. When I try to enter the price of the bond, it shows it in dollars. Online help suggests I should be able to right click on the price field and get a currency converter, but I only see the usual cut/copy/paste commands. I do, however, get a currency converter dialog if I hit F8, but it appears to think the bond is in dollars (it shows dollars to dollars, but no other currency options). I have tried this with a few different countries. Is this a bug? Any ideas on how to fix this or work around it? Thanks in advance, Ken Cooper Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158457

    - Realized gain / basis How to "not display" old info ? In my normal use of Money 2001,2004 , I do not care about "realized gain" from years ago. For Money, the basis seems to be 1. add all the buys 2. subtract all the sells the difference is loss/gain. But if I sold all of a stock/fund in 2002 and just recently bought it back, I want my basis to be: what I paid for the stock/fund that I RECENTLY bought and now hold - Period. So regardless that I dollar-cost averaged every week for 3 years into x shares of Fidelity Value Fund , if I sold it ALL and THEN later bought y shares, my cost would be the price paid for the Y shares. How to do that ? thanks, bobb Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158456

    - Restoring Backup File to New Program I have been using Money'98 for several years. My new machine came pre-installed with Money 2004. I am tying to "restore" my '98 backup into my 2004 program but am not sure how to proceed. (I've already crashed my new system by tyring to install the '98 program over the '04 program!) After reading the backup file, the system prompts me to "Please choose the Location where you want to restore the file". I open Microsoft Money in my Program Files and the following list presents: Calcs, Media, Money to Pocket PC, System, Works. I should I simply choose one of these files (which one?) or are there more steps that I am missing? Thank you Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158454

    - Bank Reconciling Starting Balance Discrepancy Ok, here's the problem...I got a new computer and started using Money on it last month. I reconciled the bank statement and everything was fine. This month, when I go/went to reconcile, it shows a discrepancy in the starting balance. Apparently what it is showing is last month's beginning balance along with this month's beginning balance (or ending balance of last month, whichever you'd like to say). I have tried changing the account balance and that does not solve the problem...how, then, do I fix this problem so that the reconciliation can be accomplished? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158453

    - Balancing Check Book I am trying to balance the checkbook for the 2nd month. However, there is a discrepancy in the starting balance. What it appears to have done is kept the beginning balance from last month and the beginning balance of this month. How do I correct this problem in order that I may proceed with the balancing of this account? I have tried adjusting the starting balance of the account....which doesn't work, just makes matters worse. Any help would be appreciated. The register is in full balance with my bank statement. Just the reconciling beginning balance is messed up. Thanks Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158450

    - Beginning balance in reports shouldn't be there I have a beginning balance in my Reimbursable Expenses accout that I cannot figure out. I report ALL dates, ALL everything and it just shows up as a beginning balance that I can't click on to get detail or find a way to report on. How might I search and find this huge amount that clearly isn't correct. It seems to me that if I report all the beginning balance must be zero. There is no detail with that amount anywhere although it is my House asset beginning balance. Could I have done some sort of weird archive thing a year or so ago and that's where it's coming from? Anyway, I want it gone! I tried to work this through with MS support a while back. We did all sorts of things that didn't work. Salvage. Deleting and recreating my house account (since that number was it's beginning balance). The following was the most telling process. I ran salvage. First time had some broken system records, second time clean. I closed all accounts. Created a new account transaction report for only the reimbursable expenses. No expenses showed, just transfers. There is still a large beginning balance. I changed the category of the report to a random one and the same thing happens. If I remove all accounts from the report I get a zero beginning balance. Slowly adding them in I find as expected that the House account is the culprit. Still, it makes no sense, nor do I know what to do next. Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158441

    - unrealized gain report errors This just started in '04. I'm running Mony 99 Financial Suite v7.0. When I record the sale of a partial lot of stock, the cost column is not updating to reflect the cost accross a smaller number of shares. i.e. - I have 200 shares of xyz at a cost of $10/ea for a total lot cost of $2000. Prior to entering a partial lot sale, the unrealized gain calc is correct. When I enter a partial sale of 50 shares, the cost column remains fixed at $2000 rather than recalculating the cost basis at $1500. The unrealized gain is now calculated at current price - $13.33 ($2000/150 shares) rather than the correct number of $10 per share. I know about selecting lots to min/max gain/loss. That's not the problem here. This is a single lot of 200 shares. Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158439

    - Unrealized Capital Gains Reports This is a new problem. When I sell a partial lot of a given stock, and refresh the "Portfolio Value by Account or Investment" report, the cost column doesn't change to reflect the lower share count. Here is a specific example: Have 200 share of xyz at a cost of $20/share. Prior to selling a partial lot, the report gives the correct unrealized gain information with a total cost of $4,000. When I sell 50 shares, and refresh the report, the cost column stays at $4000 and recalculates the unrealized gain of the remaining 150 share as if the remaining shares were at a cost of $26.66 ($4000/150) instead of a cost of $20????

    - Replicated Transactions I recently upgraded to Money 2004 Standard OEM Edition from MOney 2002 Delux & Business. Everytime I start Money 2004, iit seems to replicate transactions in several accounts. I have not been able to figure out how it picks the accounts or the transactions to replicate. Ii have to void the transactions because it will not let me delete all of them. Some transactions have been replicated 8-10 times. I can delete on of the replicants but after the first one I get a message that states the transaction cannot be entered. This is a real pain is the a##! Is anyone else having this problem?

    - Reconciling Paid Invoice and Bank Statement (Small Business) To record an invoice payment I follow these steps: 1- I use the "receive payment for invoice" functionality in the A/R screen. This action results in a transaction posted in my bank account. 2- I deposit the check at the bank. 3- I wait for the bank transaction to be electronically transferred into money. My question is: how do I match the electronic transaction with the one generated by money when I received the payment? Money will not let me match the transaction manually and, if I delete it, it is downloaded again the next time. Thanks for your help, Francois Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158415

    - Money 2004 problems with Money 2002 File I recently had my file system get corrupted on me and have had various other problems with my comp so I bought a new Sony that came with Money 2004 Standard. My previous version of Money was 2002. I used another computer and File Scavenger and managed to recover my money file. When I opened it with Money 2004 I typed in my password and it pops up with "Money has encountered a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience." I thought that maybe it had been corrupted but I opened it in on my laptop in Money 2002 and it works fine. So I am wondering if there is some conversion I need to do. I tried to repair the file in 2004 and it said the version was incorrect. Thanks for any info. Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158399

    - Worthless Budgeting I am absolutely sick of the Money budget. I have wasted a number of family weekends trying to get it to work. They certainly did not do their homework on this one. Sure there are some cool bells and whistles but they missed the foundation of money management software BUDGETING! A few issues: 1) You can't set budget amounts for budget groups? ex. The budget group food has to subcatagories, Groceries and Dining Out. I want to set an overall budget amount fot food (which is not possible in Money Budget) but track my expenses for Dining Out and Groceries. This also applies to Vacations, Misc. and any other Budget Group that you want to set a budget amount for but could care less (for budgeting purposes) which category the money will be spent. 2) Money has categories set up under Residence for "Mortgage Payment" and under Auto for "Car Payment". This works great unless, of course, you set up your house and car loan as liability and asset accounts (as you should to manage your loans, worth, and account balances). In this case, Money auto assigns these to special categories which are auto assigned to a debt catagory in the budget. Thus you can not budget for them under residence and auto budget groups. To make it right, Microsoft should redesign the budget to work in a real world then offer an update free to download. Sorry if I seem frustrated but I have been working on this for a year to no avail. The fine folks at support did call me back with a work around (which I have not been able to make work). But I don't want a work around I want a program that works. Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158392

    - Re-installation I had been a user of Quicken for ten years and decided to try MS-Money. I downloaded the 2004 deluxe trial version and was very pleased with the product so I licensed the trial version through the MS site. I now would like to change the computer that I use for running this program. Since I never really had a full installation version, how do I re-install this program? I installed the trial version on the new computer and then did a backup restore from my MS-Money backup file. This just made the 60-day trial version expire. I have the Microsoft Money 2004 Activation Key # that was given to me when I licensed the product online, but found no place to use this number when re-installing the program. I would appreciate some feedback. Sincerely, emejake Tag: Eqity Option Tag: 158386

    - Budget Just Plain Worthless It is amazing that after years of creating Money, now '04 they cannot create a program that will just be consistent with budget numbers. I have reinstalled all data from scratch, recreated budgets, tried most of everything.
