    - Sorting Subcategories in Money 2004 My wife is using Money 2004 for a variety of accounts and a perplexing problem has come up -- we cannot seem to find a way to re-sort report subcategories. The sub-subcategories have a little arrown next to them that changes sort order, but we cannot seem to find a way to re-alphabetize the subcategories themselves. There is no little arrow, and the report gallery and customization tabs don't seem to have a command for this either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    - Best Practice I don't want to enter in each purchase I have so at the end of the month I download my bank statements from Citizens and import them which is fine but then I run in to a problem with my scheduled bills because money wont recognize the payment. Anyone else do this? Some pointers on making this work smoothly? Thank you, Justin Tag: Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way Tag: 163630

    - New 401k account? I just switched jobs, and have yet to decide what to do with my old 401k . Is there an advantage to creating a new, separate 401k in Money for my new employer? At first I was just planning on using the same account I have now, but if there are any pitfalls to this approach, I'd like to know now rather than later.

    - Cannot open the money program I have been using Microsoft money for about 2 years. I got it pre-installed on my win XP Os via the Microsoft works suite 2003 that was also pre-installed for me. Now when I click to open the program, I get the following error message: "Cannot display the End User License Agreement which must be displayed and accepted before you can use the application. To display the agreement, reinstall the application" I cannot understand what has suddenly gone wrong to cause this problem. I have run the EULA fix but to no avail. Re-installing is a problem as I do not have the stand-alone money program CD. I have an emachine restore CD. Do I have to manually change some registry settings? My two years of financial organisation is locked up and I am not a happy man. What is Microsoft up to? Please help. Many thanks in advance.

    - erroneous roi calculations What causes this? I have a mutual fund for which the 3 month and ytd calc is obviously wrong. During this period I transferred the shares from one broker to another. I used the "transfer out" command to move the shares from one broker account in my pertfolio to the other. Did this cause the miscalculation? The overall calc for all the years I've held this fund and for the 1 & 4 week periods appears correct. Tag: Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way Tag: 163615

    - Upgrade from Money 97 to 2004 and additional ? I have been operating in Money 97 since the beginning of time. I have recently obtained Money 2004, and wished to ask the user group of any issues prior to upgrading to the latest edition. They are both Standard editions, as it is used for personal home use. I appreciate any assistance offered to avoid pitfalls. Secondly, I have discovered that I have incorrectly accounted for a Loan/Overdraft protection account that effects multiple accounts. Is there a way to make holistic changes vs. individual line items in either edition? I have been unable to find this tool, and have nearly 250+ entries over the course of time, and was looking for an easy way to correct my errors. Finally, on this same account, it appears to have a running total of all tranactions. Rather than have a current balance for advances then payments on the account, it has a running total vs. balance. How can I correct this situation. Again, thank you for assistance. JT jthompson@interlinguainc.com Tag: Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way Tag: 163609

    - Money 2003 - Got an error on on-line transfer After pressing ok on error message which suggested I resend the transaction later as bank is unable to process; I pressed cancel. However the transaction is now in italics in both the debited account and the credited account with an electronic 'icon' on the credit account list. I cannot delete either transaction / nor can I send it again. Also the original transactions with current trigger dates are still in my Bill & deposits. Help!

    - Cannot uninstall trial version of Money A few weeks ago I downloaded the trial version of Money to see if I would prefer it to Quicken. I gave Money the edge and decided to buy Money 2004 but I didn't want to download it. I put the CD in the computer and it gave me a message that Money was already installed on my computer and I needed to uninstall before it would load - no options.

    - cost basis/avg cost per share I've got 2 accounts (mutual funds) set up under a single financial institution. In Portfolio, using Valuations view, Money calculates the cost basis for both accounts. In Holdings view, it only provides cost basis for one account, while displaying other details for both. Also, in the Investment Performance section at the bottom of the Portfolio screen, the commentary says the average weighted cost for one of the funds is $0. I would like an average cost per share calculation for both funds. I can easily calculate this if I have reliable cost basis info for both funds, but what's this $0 about? Thanks for any input as I try to figure out how to use this software. David Tag: Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way Tag: 163580

    - Debt Reduction Plan not in Cash Flow Forecast I have recently set up a Debt Reduction Plan to pay off credit card debt. The amount shows up correctly in my budget, under the Special>Debt category, but is not recognized in the Cash Flow forecast. My checking account balance continues to go up, when it should be charged for the monthly Debt Reduction amount. My other budgeted items are all appearing in the "Transactions during Selected Time period" box and they are being removed from my checking account balance. I have checked that the Cash Flow forecast is using "Budgeted Amounts" and it is displaying the Necessary and Discretionary items. I have been unable to find any articles relating to this, and I noticed that nobody has given an answer to this in the past. any help is appreciated.

    - Handling Roommates in MS Money? Hi all Does Microsoft Money allow you to adjust your budget planning for a roommate? It seems that I can either include all my cash outlays and include all the money he pays me (in which case my budget isn't really accurate, at least in terms of the percentage for each category), or I can omit him altogether and cut all my apartment-related outlays in half, in which case I can't track them all very well Is there any other solution?

    - Only one biweeekly deposit seen by budget setup Hope someone can help me out here. I get paid biweekly and that's how I have it set up in Money 2002 and I don't have any problems with it. I recently tried to set up a budget and my salary appears under income and it is listed as occurring biweekly but it only used one of the deposits to calculate my total monthly income. Can anyone tell me why it's ignoring one of my biweekly deposits? If I get the details on my salary, it shows the correct monthly amount (approx twice one pay check). At first I thought it was because at the time I was doing this, I had only received one pay check that month so I waited and tried again after my second check had arrived but no dice, it still showed my income to be equivalent to only one of the biweekly deposits. I tried to add a second salary deposit but it wouldn't let me which it shouldn't, but I was desperate. One thought just came to me, I don't have my salary entered automatically, I have it setup in "Pay or Record Bills and Deposits" but I enter it manually. Could this be the reason?

    - MS Money 2004 Debt Reduction I've been experiencing weird things with debt reduction. I'm simply trying to enter in a credit card account and have it tell me when I'll have it paid off if I pay "this much" money a month towards it. The numbers it gives me through are not right at all. For instance, at the beginning I add in a credit card account that has a balance of $1,057 at an interest rate of 10.9%. I tell it I want to be out of debt by 05/18/04 with zero one time payments and this is what I get... "With payments averaging $5.00 and an extra payemtn of $0 you will be out of debt by Mar 18, 2004. With this plan, you will save $0 in interest charges over the minimum payment plan, and a $100.00 purchase will cost you approximately $100.95." This is obvsiously not correct. No way I'm paying that off in 3 months with $5.00 payments. So then let's say I change it to say that I'm going to pay $400.00/mo, so when will I be out of debt. Then it stays on Mar, 18 for some reason and gives exact numbers as to what I'll end up paying..."a 100.00 purchase will cost 100.95." What's going on with this? Why won't it give me accurate information??? Any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks! Tag: Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way Tag: 163531

I'm getting tired of how Money handles my equity LOC. I have it set up
as a credit card type account, which is really the source of the
problem, but Money doesn't really provide an alternative that I'm aware
of. First of all, it considers it equivalent to credit card debt for
the purposes of reporting, planning for savings goals, etc. And the Tax
planner has a nasty bug in which it refuses to pull in transactions I
have in the LOC even though I have them categorized as Loan:Mortgage
Interest. Anyone found a workaround for these issues? I thought about
possibly changing it to a bone fide loan account, but seems like it
could be problematic too. Any ideas?
