Consensus after the update - yes on v2005?
Just wondering what the consensus was after the Money 2005 update. Are you
happy to be using it now or you'd wish you hadn't upgrade?
I've been following the group and it appears the upgrade fixed a lot of
issues.

how screwed am i? lost data
hello group - can anyone give me any feedback/advice? i have an old pc and
use money 99
i have been using money religously since 1998 with account activity going
back to 1987. i love it and it has helped me accomplish many of my
financial goals. but i am one of these nuts who keeps track of my accounts
so closely that i will even categorize a penny found on the street.
well i needed to reformat my hard drive and re-install the operating system
(virus?). i kept multiple backup copies of my money file on the slave hard
drive and on one set of floppy disk. somehow in the process my pc now does
recognize the slave, i think that i accidentaly reformated the slave as
well, and money says it cannot restore from the floppy backup set (2 disks)
saying that the floppy is corrupted?
it looks like the data is on both floppies, but money cant open it and i
cant even copy it to another drive. i havent removed the slave drive to see
if anything is salvageable off of it yet. what should i do next?
if i lost it all, i guess its not the end of the world, i will just start
fresh, but i am bummed and will never be able to restore the cash account.
hindsight is always 20/20, but what i should have done was kept a few more
floppy sets around and verified that they would have opened in a new file in
money. also, i should have printed the totals of my cash account by each
year sorted by category so that i could re-create it in summary form.
thanks in advance for any advice -

Record spin-off and "This operation cannot be performed"
Hi Folks,
I've never had any problems with MS Money 2004 and file corruption.
But I own some Motorola stock, which recently had a spin-off of Freescale
Semiconductor. When I try to record this special activity "Record a
spin-off" and diligently enter all of the information, it always results in a
dialog box with "This operation cannot be performed". When I click the More
Info button, it takes me to a Web page with very general instructions like:
Product: Money
ID: 34
Source: mnyob99
Version: 12.0
Symbolic Name: errUnknown
Message: This operation cannot be performed.
and an explanation of "Usually caused by a corupt file" (MSFT typo, not
mine). Problem is, I've run the repair tool on this file and no issues were
found. I do not believe my file is corrupt in any way, I just believe Money
is choking on this particular transaction.
1) Has anyone else experienced this problem?
2) Is there any known workaround, other than manually figuring out these
individual transactions?
Note sure if it is relevant, my MOT stock is only in one account, but it has
been transferred across two different accounts within Money in the past.
Thank you in advance.

Money File Size
I have been a user of MSM for many years. At the beginning of each
year, I try to archive the previous year's data to make a more
manageable sized file. My data file is now at 20,000 kB. My account
consists of a few closed accounts, multiple banks, savings, checking,
credit and retirement accounts. It also includes savings and college
funds accounts for my kids.
My question is, What can I do to make this file smaller and more
manageable.
If I remove the kids' accounts to another file will this help and what
is the easiest way to do this?
Is there a way to start fresh and import only those active accounts to
make it smaller but not lose the data needed for day to day account
management?
What advise can you provide?
Thanks

M2004 ads for M2005
I've been using Money 2004 Premium for a little over a year now, and I am
quite pleased with it. After reinstalling Windows XP Pro this weekend
(again) I reinstalled Money 2004 and got my backup file loaded. Very first
thing I did was disable any services or startup programs associated with
Money, because I don't need it on all the time and I don't like my computer
doing things that I don't tell it to do.
So I go to download my bank and fund info and at the same time I download
the latest Money Updates. Well, and here's where the question is, just how
the **** is an advertisement for Money 2005 on my Money 2004 Account List
page an UPDATE? And more specifically, how do I remove this unwanted and
unasked for intrusion? Because, as it turns out, if I can't remove the ads
you can be absolutely sure I won't ever by a Money product again.

Report "Spending by Category" reflects charges but not credits
MS Money 2005
Successfully uploaded two years data.
While enjoying the pie chart graphs, I noticed that "Gifts" (expenditures)
reflected all charges from my credit card (for Gifts) but did not reflect the
return and credit received.
For example:
Gift Expense CAMERA Purchase $299.95
Gift Expense Camera Return ($299.95)
Net "Gift Expense" -0-
If I look at the Pie Chart (and underlying details) "Gift Expense" is
$299.95 -but-
If I go through Banking>Categories>Detail Transactions
I see the Charge AND the Credit. This is correcct!
In short, it appears that the Pie Chart is factory-setup to look at only
charges (debits) to "Gifts"?
Is there a way to correct the chart reporting?

Balance on Account List does not match balance if I view all transactions
Recently MS Money 2004 seems to have flaked and executed some Bills and
Deposits for 2005 and caused my account balance on the account list to
not be correct. If I view the account the balance was also incorrect
if I only viewed unreconciled transactions.
After reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838713
Methods 1 and 2 did not fix the problem. I then exported the
information into a loose QIF file and read it. It appears eight
transcations were automatically executed for their next dates in 2005.
They did not show up in the account but I could see them if I chose "Go
to Payee:" from the Bills and Deposits screens. I could then void each
of the transactions so their amounts would be zero.
Just curious if anyone else experienced this. I have been using Money
for about a year.

Handling puchases, transfers, & cash advances on same credit card
What is the best way to handle credit card â??special offer balance transfersâ??
in Money 2002 Deluxe? Some credit cards will split your monthly payments so

Matching a transaction to Multiple
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has figured out a solution to this one...
I go the bank and deposit a few checks. At home, I record each of the
checks because their from different sources/categories, etc. Money
downloads a lump sum desposit from the bank and now I try to match to the
different transactions. I match them up, and accept them all and so far so
good. Until I try to update the accounts again, and the lump sum shows up
again. Any idea how to get Money to realize that it downloaded that
transaction already and I accepted it? BTW I'm using Money 2005, but have
had this problem for many versions. Thanks.

Problems Balancing Checking Account-Wrong Opening Balance or date range
I have not previously had problems balancing my checking account wis
Money 2004. Tonight when I went to do so, it gave a much different
opening balance then the closing balance from the previous bank
statement, when it balanced o.k. In fact, for some unknown reason, it
was a month behind, said it wanted to balance the statement of
10/31/04...which I dutifully did again, after correcting the opening
balance. That opening balance did not match any enf of month
balances, even though eveyrthing balanced o.k. previously on 10/31/04.
(This might be part of where things went wrong).
Then when I balanced 11/30/04 statement, it told me my starting
balance was incorrect, and that my account balance was off by 702.04.
When I accepted the suggestion to make an adjusment of this amount it
did it twice. One debit of 702.04 which it called "Starting Balance
Adjustment" and 1 credit of the same amount which it called account
adjustment, but both were dated 11/30/04, even though the starting
balance adjustment should have applied to the balance as of 11/1/04.
Of course these two bogus entries cancel each out. The net result as
of the last entry on 11/30/04 was to agree with the bank statement, as
it had the previous month, and maybe everything will be fine next
month. But why did it tell me the starting balance was wrong, when it
was satisfied with the same amount as the ending balance the month
before? It appears to me that it was attempting to balance a
statement beginning 11/30 and ending 11/30, and that perhaps it got
confused about what the last statement date was on which the account
was balanced. As I said, I know I had balanced the 10/31/04 statement
previously, but when I began my balancing act tonight it insistred
that was the date to it wanted balance, and the opening balance was
all wrong. That seems to be where it got messed up.
It did had RECONCILED all downloaded transactions after 11/30/04 up
through 12/8/04, which never happened before again suggesting it was
confused about what time period was being balanced.
Any ideas what went wrong? And if I need to do something before next
month to make sure no problems occur?

Imported but apparently not MSMoney 2005 Win XP
I'm having a problem with the import feature. I downloaded an OFX file for
all 3 accounts at my financial institution. I used File, Import and it asked
me to confirm accounts 1 & 2 but not account number 3. The first two
imported perfectly.
I looked at the file and sure enough the details for account number 3 were
in there. So then I exported account #3 only and tried importing it. It
just comes up and says "import complete". I checked the first transaction in
the file a meal at Pizza Hut and I can see it hasn't imported into any of the
accounts in the "you have n statements to read" list.
My total account balances is not changing so obviously nothing is being
imported.
Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I assume that something
exists in the file that MSMoney doesn't like so it is ignoring the whole
file. Except for a file imported dialog box does MSMoney have any diagnostic
log that can be turned on?

Money 2005 Duplicate Downloaded Transactions
I finally got my Bank of America account transactions to download through
online services. My only gripe is that old transactions which have already
been downloaded on a previous day are being re-downloaded along with new
transactions every time I perform an update (I do this once a day). When the
old transactions are re-downloaded they are matched with existing
transactions again and I have to re-accept the transactions.
Should this be happening? I thought that Money's logic would prevent old
transactions from being downloaded again or at least save me the trouble of
having to accept and match them again.
Also, shouldn't Money be getting the latest and greatest transactions from
my bank(today's transactions preferably but at the very least yesterday's
transactions)? It seems that my downloaded transactions only go up to 2 days
ago. I know that Yodlee provides the direct services for Bank of America.
Is this an issue with Yodlee?

restored a back-up, tried again (twice.) Again, same thing. I have since
discontinued trying to use this feature since the 2005 Money for Pocket PC is
finally out, but all three be able to work together?

Money 2005: Fidelity: Capital gains distribution appears as divide
Hello,
When I receive a capital gains distribution on a mututal fund on my fidelity
account Microsoft money shows this in the account register and in the
Portfolio as dividend.
I do not have this problem with Etrade for example.
Also it seems that Dividends from Fidelity sometimes come in later than the
reinvestment-purchase and this causes Moeny to "add shares" which after the
Dividend is registered leads to a "remove" shares so the total number of
shares is equal with the number on the account. However that leads to
confusion in the Portfolio manager which then does not show the cost basis
correctly any more.
What is wrong and how can I corect that? Is the problem perhaps with
Fidelity?

Money 2005 Can Be Updated Externally
I don't know if this will add confusion or be of help to some, but FWIW,
the recent Money 2005 update (not the 2004 to 2005 upgrade) was
downloaded and installed when I visited MoneyCentral.MSN.com, as I
regularly do for news, fyi, etc. on specific investments we hold.
Apparently, the Web pages now share so much code (e.g. ActiveX Controls)
with Money (msmoney.exe) that updating one inherently updates the other.
Of course, I still had to go through the file conversion process the
next time I opened each of our Money files.
For anyone experiencing problems completing the update (software
download and installation, not file conversion) when running Money
(msmoney.exe), this may offer a possible solution.
