    - Money Deluxe 2004 trial upgrade problems I downloaded the trial for deluxe a couple of months ago and recently, through money, upgraded to the real version for $42.50. They gave me a number which i stupidly didn't write down. Then something downloaded onto my computer and the "trial version" seemed to go away. The very next day I go to it and it says "trial version" again. My questions are: 1. Will i be sent a cd of money in the mail soon? 2. Do i need to use that number to do something with the program to make it better again? 3. Can i ever be sent that number again? PLEASE somebody HELP ME, Please! I dont want to be screwed out of my 42 bucks Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176337

    - Massive Random Upgrade Corruption in Money 2005 In going from Money 2004 to 2005 I am getting random corruption. I have done the upgrade multiple times and get different results each time. There are three main problems that I have been able to identify already. 1. Opening Balances on accounts reset to 0. 2. Upcoming bills duplicated up to 10 times. 3. Categories duplicated up to 5 times. All 3 problems can be time consumingly repaired manually. However I have a fear of the problems I don't see. Also it really scares me that it changes everytime I do the upgrade. I have been using Money since '97 and have had little problems with online downloads and logins. This is by far the worst problem I have had yet, what happened with this product? Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176301

    - just broke down and bought it... Alright--with all of the craziness going on here, I decided to buy 2005 deluxe. I may get shot for this: but, I like it. Everything converted just fine. A couple of points: 1. I ran the Standard Error Checker on the .mny file to ensure it was clean. 2. I made a backup copy (and another just in case!) 3. I installed 2005; however, I created a new .mny file FIRST instead of letting it do the conversion without doing the updates. 4. I let the updates download and install; then, I converted the file. LASTLY: When I downloaded my c/c accounts I did get a DUPLICATE. WHY? It is the OTHER credit card in my wife's name. All I did was "close" the account and it went away. Good luck folks.

    - Money 2005 Small Business - Custom Invoices gone after upgrade from 2k4? I upgraded from Money 2k4 Small Business (SB) to Money 2k5 SB last week - and my custom invoice is gone! I've seen some other posts on this but nothing definitive (yes, I'ver searched first; TechNet too.) Fortunately, I said a copy of the invoices to a .INV file (when I had the portrait/landscape fiasco in 2k4). SO, I go into Money Invoice Designer and import it. Comes in fine, and I see my invoice - but when I save it an exit, the invoice STILL isn't there. In Money, I tried to import the .INV file, and I get an error saying it can't import items made before 2002 - wtf? Do we have a definitive answer on this? I use Money SB to actually BILL my clients and I can't without my invoice. Well, I suppose I *can* using a generic/default invoice...but c'mon, how professional is THAT going to look?

    - Unable to set-up on-line accounts Just in case others are having this problem. I purchased MS 2005 Deluxe two weeks ago and just installed this past weekend. Totally frustrated. I was unable to setup on- line accounts so that I can download by banking information. I kept getting error message "unable to process try again later" . I called Microsoft support and they indicated that this is a known bug and there will be an update either today or tomorrow (9/28). I hope the update is available today otherwise the software is totally useless to me. P.S. I;ve been a quicken user for the past 10 years. Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176273

    - Money 2005 Small Biz Edition I am having a problem with the small biz edition of Money 2005. I am not that familiar with the product so hopefully this will be an easy fix, but according to all the Microsfot directions, I am doing everything correctly. I want to create a custom invoice for my company, so I used the invoice designer and saved it to where ever it defaults to. OnceI did that, I put all the appropriate customer info in, and created the invoice. I went to print it, and it did not have my custom invoice as a selection possibility, nor was there an option to locate the template. If I do a step by step according to the directions according to Microsofts directions, I am doing everything correctly. Is there something I might be missing or have forgotten to do? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks! Mike Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176265

    - Comments on Microsoft Money 2005 Premium Since 1998, I've been a Microsoft Money user. Over the years, I've upgraded my version a few times. However for the last two years, I've used MS Money 2003 Deluxe. I decided to pass on MS Money 2004, and I purchased Money 2005 Premium on Friday. For the last couple of months, I was curious about the new features of the product, and read these news groups for some clues. So now that I've used the product myself, I figure that I'll pass along my thoughts: MS Money 2005 is only slighly better than MS Money 2003. In earnest, I found very few differences between the two programs. The home page provides mostly the same information. The tabs on top were also the same: Accounts, Bills, Portfolio, etc. The general interface has not changed at all. However there were some new features that I liked, and some features that they have not improved upon which was disappointing. Keep in mind that some of these updates may have been done in the 2004 version. I recognize this. Here are my two bis: 1) The best improvement in the product is the ability to track up to three specific budget categories for overages. This appears on the home page. For me there are plenty of budget categories that stay the same each month (i.e. rent, cable, etc.), but there are those that change (i.e. food: groceries, food: dining out, etc.). Being able to easily track these categories is a benefit. However, why did Microsoft limit the number of categories to 3? Hopefully in 2006, MS will allow users to track an unlimited number? 2) I think that the ability to use MS Money 2005 online is good. It is a great improvement over the www.moneycentral.com feature in MS Money 2003 which never really worked. The new feature appears to give you better access to your accounts. HOWEVER, in the overall scope of things, this feature is not that useful. I use yodlee.com to access my accounts online, and that yodlee website is so great that I cannot see myself using moneycentral online. The yodlee.com website can give you the most updated information on your accounts. Yodlee.com also has access to more accounts. [I discuss this issue below in greater deatil]. **** ALERT: I had problems updating from Money 2003 to 2005. Two years ago, I tried using the moneycentral functionality with 2003. I quickly realized that moneycentral was not that great, and abandoned the accounts online. When I booted Money 2005 for the first time, the program synced with moneycentral, and uploaded old account information from moneycentral into Money 2005. It was a problem because these old accounts had the same names as some of my current accounts. I was nervious erasing these old accounts because I didn't want to accidently erase my current accounts. 3) PROBLEM: After upgrading from 2003 to 2005, I found that a lot of my investment accounts were no longer balanced. It seems that all of my sales were being recorded as expenses. The cash accounts for these investment accounts now had huge negative balances. Here was my solution: I went to each of the sale transactions on the investment account, and I toggled the "transfer to" account from the correct cash account to a different cash account and then back to the correct cash account. This fixed the problem. However it took about an hour to fix, and was frustrating. 4) I've read about people complaining about the speed of Money 2005. I find the program to be no slower or faster than 2003. 5) Here's something that's frustrating. Www.yodlee.com is able to scrub a user's financial websites and pull off information. I don't understand why MS Money can't use the same technology to pull information from banks and investment houses that are not compatible with MS Money, but still have online services. Microsoft says they incorporate yodlee in their product, but obviously they are not using some of yodlee's best features. It's really fustrating to have to do any type of manual input into the program. 6) Lastly, this is not a knock on 2005 Premium, but on the these types of programs in general. The planning functions are rather simplistic, and cannot take into account the specifics that a user needs to make the planner useful for one's own case. For instance with the budget planner, it's really annoying that the program will disribute over twelve months a one-time expected expense or receipt. This just throws off the entire budget. The long term planner is absolutely ridiculous because no one can make these kind of assumptions thirty years into the future. 7) On a postive note, the program seems to do a better job at the investment performance chart (this is found on the monthly reports page). In the 2003 version, the chart was never accurate. At least for my accounts. Again overall, I found the 2005 Premium program to be almost identical to the 2003 Deluxe program. The program has no new programs. It only carries over some of the old ones. However, as an avid user of MS Money. I thought it was worth the money. In fact, I purchased it from Microsoft, and here's the deal I got. It cost me about $85 (tax and shipping included), but I got the $30 rebate from MS, and a $9.99 from Money magazine. If you read the fine print, you can get a rebate instead of actually subscribing. I also got $10 off my next Microsoft purchase as long as it's before November 30, 2004. If anyone has questions, or comments, I check for replies. Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176260

    - File Names for MSN Portfolio and for MSMoney05 I am tryng to employ syndhronization with M05. Although it takes overnight, eventually my portfolio as kept in M05 then is available on MSN. When I close MSN it asks to save my file to the same name that M05 uses. Is this correct. Are they now in fact the same file, just available in two different places--on my local computer and on MSN servers, or should they be saved on my computer under two different file names as they were before I upgraded to M05. If I do not allow the MSN to back up onto my computer (to avoid my original file from being overwritten), then M05 thinks that it cannot synchronize and asks me to reestablish itself as the origin of the master file, or at least offers me the choice. Thus, I have ow been able to view my portfolio on MSN, but have not been able to synch it with M05. Any of this make sense to anyone? Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176258

    - portfolio value over time I run Money 2004 and i can't do some things i think are really basic - main two (related issues) that bother me are: 1) is there any way to view the value of my entire investment portfolio over time (e.g. as a chart showing basically just price * volume of shares i own for each investment, combined to show all investments together)? 2) is there any way to view price history for all my holdings as an indexed value (0% at the start growing up or down based on % change in price) as opposed to absolute value? Some shares are $20 each some are $200 each - doesn't make sense to show on the same graph unless indexed... Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176244

    - Classifications in view When looking at my accounts I usually have "View -> All transaction details" selected. This view has always had a 3 line display for each entry with Payee as the 1st line, category and sub category as the 2nd line and memo on the third line. Now the view has changed and there are 4 lines displayed. The new line now is "Classification 1" I want to get rid of this. I don't use Classifications and only recently learned of Classifications when I was editing my list of categories and payees. I'm assuming that when I simply looked at my classifications MS Money got it in its head that I want to see them in my accounts. How do I turn this off and get back to my 3 line display.

    - Money 2005 success I installed Money 2005 in a vmware session so I could test a conversion of my Money 2004 file. This file was 23MB in size and contains ~10 years of data. Everything converted fine. All the balances are correct. Even my stock account (Ameritrade) and 401K accounts are ok. The Bills/Deposits section is all correct. No old, deleted items magically reappared. None of the frequencies changed. I was able to download all my statements just as before (well except for Ameritrade but that doesn't work in Money 2004 right now either). I didn't have to assign my NET account to the Money file to download bank transactions. I'm surprised I have had no problems with it. At this point the only complaint I have is relatively minor: there is less usable space for the register. Because of the extra crap at the top, it shows 4 or 5 less register entries than Money 2004. Just thought I'd share my experience so far. I may work with 2005 along with 2004 for a week or so before I decide to install it on my main operating system. Tag: Money 2004 Tag: 176203
