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: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163531
redoing mortgage payments
I've just recently started using an automatic withdrawal schedule for my
mortgage payment, with a biweekly frequency. How do I record the payments
properly so that the interest and principal portions are reflected properly
in the split (fortunately, I don't have to worry about escrow).
Thanks,

Tax Line Manager shows incorrect salary and tax projections
Hi -
The Tax Line Manager shows the correct Year to Date Salary amount but
for some reason, the Projected Total for 2004 is way off. When I drill
down to the projection details, it includes my projected quarterly
bonus but not the regular salary (taxable income) amounts for the rest
of the year. Same issue with the W-2 tax categories - the projection
includes the taxes for the quarterly bonus but not the regular salary.
I am using Money 2003, would appreciate any help....

Thank you for Payee List problem solved
So simple but how to know such a thing that a leap year
would mess with a drop down list. I guess it has to do
with the fact that money only lists payees that you have
used in the last 2 years and since this day hasn't
occured for 4 years the program is functioning properly,
just a bit frustrating though. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163521

Small business version
There appears to be a Schedule C bug in MS Money 2004
Small Business. If you run a tax report to display
Schedule C transactions, and you have selected the CASH
(rather than accrual) method, Money will still list open -
unpaid - invoices as revenue. Open invoices should not
show as revenue on the cash method.
I will report this to MSFT. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163519

Online banking services not liking leap year?
Today, I haven't been able to successfully complete online banking
transactions through Money with American Express, Citibank and US
Bank.
You think that somebody didn't think about today being the first leap
year after the year 2000 and the system can't handle it today?
Or just a coincidence? Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163496
Repeated Budget Transaction
I have one monthly automatic payment that is always repeated 4 times in my
budget. Money will not allow me to remove the individual entries.
I can remove the budget category - which causes the budget to be incorrect.
I can add the category back into the budget, but his causes the payment to
appear 4 times again and causes the budget to be more incorrect.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Alan. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163495
Debt reduction planner vs. budget planner
I am running Money 2002 Standard OEM Edition, version
10.0. I notice that on the "Review Your Current Budget
Status" page of the Budget Planner, the amount listed for

Reduction Planner. This is true for whatever time period
is selected. Why don't these figures match? Thanks... Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163493
Money 2002 "Pay To" Erop Down Not Working Properly
In Money 2002, the drop down for entering the "Pay To" field into the
register has stopped working. Until recently, I didn't experience any
problems with this.
I notice the following:
If I add a new payee in the "Set up your payees" screen, then the added
payee shows up in the registers pay to drop down but only if there are no
transactions yet for the new payee. Once I have established a transaction
for the new payee, the payee no longer shows up in the drop down.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be appreciated. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163492
Access My Money Data on the Web
I am trying to upload my Money information to MSN money.
All the instructions state as I have copied below:
"To enable MSN Money synchronization:
In Microsoft Money on your desktop, click Access My Money
Data on the Web on the Tools menu.
If you have not already set up a Microsoft Passport for
your Money file, click add a Passport on this screen to
enable the online features of Microsoft Money; otherwise
click Setup to continue.
Money will upload your information to the MSN Money Web
site and set a synchronization schedule. "
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I AM IN MONEY, AND SELECT
TOOLS, THE OPTION OF 'ACCESS MY MONEY DATA ON THE WEB" IS
NOT EVEN AN OPTION. AT ONE TIME ARE ANOTHER, I WAS ABLE
TO UPLOAD THIS INFORMATION TO MSN, BUT ALL MY ACCOUNTS
ARE INCORRECT IN BALANCES, AND HAVE NOT BEEN SYNCHRONIZED
FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS EVEN THOUGH WHEN I AM IN MONEY, IT
STATES IT IS SYNCRONIZING WITH MSN. WHAT AM I MISSING?

Net Worth over Time
When I look at the Net Worth over Time Report the next 12 months, my balance
stays the same. It seems Money does not forecast an Increase. However,
when I look at the past it shows an increase. My Cash Flow forecast goes up
with time. My houses are put in to show the amortirization.
What could I be doing run or not have set up to see the future Net Worth

Two Checking Accounts in Money
I have set up two checking accounts within Money 2003.
Both of them are set up with my financial institution.
When I go to download my latest transactions from either
account, it automatically goes into only one of my
checking accounts in Money. How do I tell Money which
checking account that specific download should be
imported into??
I have tried allowing Money to open by itself after the
download, but it still goes into only the one checking
account. I cannot select which account that particular
download is for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

OFX statement download now need to SAVE instead of OPEN
The problem:
Bank of America offers the option to download statements
from their website. I used to be able to ask for the
download and get the typical Internet Explorer dialog
about whether to "OPEN" or "SAVE" the file. I would
click "OPEN," the .OFX file would process, and Money
would say "IMPORT COMPLETED."
For the past several weeks, this has been broken. I
can "OPEN" the file all I want, but Money does not
process it.
If I "SAVE" the file to my harddrive instead as a .OFX
file, and then double-click on that file, Money correctly
processes the file.
What has changed? Any ideas? It's a pain to have to
save and then delete the file.
(As an aside, I wish BofA would switch to allowing
immediate downloads of statements without having to use
the website, as Fidelity, Fleet, and many other banks do.)
Thanks in advance. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163462

As I have read in so many posts, I am experiencing the same problem
with SMRTINET.INI on Money Updates with Money 2004 Deluxe.
I also appear to be unable to set up new online banking services for

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: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163428
No Audio Device
This problem started happening about a week ago. I
installed Money 2004 about a month ago. Then, all of the
sudden, everytime I open Money 2004 now, it takes like a
whole minutes before I can start using it. Also, the
most disturbing part of the problem is that once it
loads, my sound card stops working. If I go to "Sounds &
Audio Devices" in Control Panel, it says "No Audio
Device." I can't play any sounds, at all, after I run
Money until I reboot. The funny thing is that the sound
card is still present in Device Manager.
Anyone have any ideas or has anyone else had this problem?
Extra info: the last two things I installed before that
started happening was MS Office 2004 System and Panda
Antivirus. I checked my computer for viruses and spyware
and removed whatever I found. Then, I uninstalled Money,
cleaned the registry(manually), removed the folders,
profiles, etc. Then, I reinstalled Money and started a
fresh Money file and it still does the same thing. Tag: Missing drop down payee's Tag: 163424
Assigning Categories to Payees
Can you assign a category to a payee at the payee level
instead of at the transaction level? I've been searching
through the newsgroup and can't find a post specifically
about this. Granted, it's not on the payee information
screen, but I thought I'd ask. Maybe there is a super
secret quadruple right click while standing on one foot
and scratching your back trick that I'm missing.
Oh yeah - I'm on 2003.

The ending balance money calculates is always wildly
different from what my online register shows. For example,
I create a new account, and then download a statement from

but totally different ending balances. When I try balance
it in Money, I enter the starting and ending balances from
