Subcategories
I just upgraded to Money 2005 and find a useful feature
is missing. I have been using Money for the last 7 years
and enjoyed using a category and subcategory for my
expenses. Now these two items are combined in one
dropdown box and very hard to use. I used to use a
category then tab to the subcategory and pick an item.
Now when I pick a category the subcategories are not
visible unless I use the mouse to scroll through. All
previous versions gave an option of using one box or two
but in the latest version I can't find how to get the two
boxes back. Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: [FYI] Money 2005 Trial version is available Tag: 176496
how to stop money ads
I think found the source of the ads. go to c:\documents

money 2005 update
I have money 2004 and everything works great even with my bank. Updated to
2005, the program just locks up after it converted the file. Used the money
repair program and it fixed something with the bills and desposits.Money
2005 will load now, but it won't update with my bank. It says application or
version not supported, but everything works great except this so far.
I contacted my bank and they support money 2005. Any suggestions.

Money 2005 SB can't open Money 2004 File
Hello all, I just upgrade Money 2004 to 2005, both Small Business

converted. Money 2005 said it is either locked or protected or
corrupt. But it has no problem at all in 2004
I've tried to delete all accounts in this file but one to elimilate
causes of problems but still have no luck. Can anybody help? I can

Updates to M2005
In the past versions (and also in M2005, I bet), MS has quietly and secretly
(I think the word is appropriate) updates Money without telling us when the
changes were made and what the changes entailed. Everytime we sync
accounts, we would get a msg saying "Your Call was successful" under Money
updates.
I hated that. I'd rather know when the updates have been released, what
they cover, and then decide whether to apply the "patch".
Like many, I am waiting for the 1st major update to M2005 before buying,
installing, and trying M2005.
Will we know when such major update or "service pack" for M2005 is released?

Dates on tracked payments
I just upgraded to 2003 from 2000. I transfered all my
setting over and have been having trouble entering common
transactions like my upcoming bills and paychecks.
When I select a common transaction from my checking

correctly. When I click on this transaction to enter it
the date is from a month ago.
Is there a cache file or something that I need to deltete
to make Money update these transaction dates? Tag: [FYI] Money 2005 Trial version is available Tag: 176467
Duplicate Transactions
I create invoices for my customers who order from my

invoice it creates a duplicate entry in my business
checking accout? Help!

How do you track returns/refunds in your register?
I buy a lot of stuff, and as a result, I also end up changing my mind and
returning things pretty often.
I keep all of my transactions detailed and categorized, but when I enter a
negative value (say, a 20$ credit on my credit card for a movie I returned),
it's obvious that Money doesn't know what to do with it. It warns me that
I'm adding a credit as an expense. Then, many of Money's reports count this
as an expense (ignoring that it should be counted as -20$).
I fear that the correct answer might be to simply delete the purchase
transaction, and the return transaction, but this will make it more
difficult to keep my register and my bank's register in sync.
Any ideas? How do most people handle this common occurence?

Money 2005: "Spending by Category" says "No data to display"?
Hi all,
On the Home tab under "Spending by Category" I see:
8/30/04 through 9/28/04
No data to display
Well, I do have spending during that time frame. I imagine
that the "Spending by Category" thingy is looking in the
wrong account(s) and needs to be reconfigured. But I can't
for the life of me figure out how -- when I right click it
there's no "Customize" option or similar.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
P.S. I'm able to get data if I click the Reports tab and
then "Spending by Category". It's only the "Spending by
Category" section of the Home tab that isn't working.

Money 2005 SB / Invoice Designer BUG
I have read a number of you are having this same issue.
When I created my first invoice and saved it, and closed
invoice designer, it was not in the list when I opened it
next. So I created it again, and this time exported it
so I knew where the INV file was saved. I then went to
import it into Money and got an error saying it could not
be imported because Money cannot import files created
before July, 2002.
WTF?
I contacted live chat support who said the issue was too
complex and to call MS support at 425-635-2030 but this

Money 2005---wait awhile
I have upgraded Money several times over the years, and might again from
2004 to 2005. However, I have been REALLY stupid in doing it. I also use
TaxCut every year. If you wait until Tax Cut comes out (late in 2004) you
nearly always get a coupon for a huge discount (or free) Money. The last
couple years, Money 2004 and Money 2003 Standard was "free" with the mail in
thing. Deluxe was something like $20 off.
I am only pointing this out to my fellow Money users, so you don't waste
money unless you HAVE to have the new version right away. Also, never buy
TaxCut from H.R. Block. It's a huge rip-off. Getting the rebate was a pain
(did this twice), delivery was slow and I had to pay shipping. Buy it at
Staples---got there the same day H.R.Block started to ship, was cheaper, had
a rebate and delivery took only as long as the car ride home. The only
advantage of buying direct from H.R. Block was to Henry Block, not to me.

SP2 Issue on Sharing a Money 2005 File
One of the features I was interesting in with Money 2005
was the ability to share the file with another .NET
Passport. I can't make this work. First Microsoft
Technical support confirmed that having Windows XP SP2
installed causes a problem - I would just get the
rotating arrow and no box to enter the 2nd .NET
Passport. I then installed Money on 2 different machines
with Windows XP SP1, and tried again, even starting with
a brand new Money file and new .NET Passports. I was
able to go further, but after inputing the 2nd .NET
Passport, then being asked to sign in, I got that same
stupid rotating arrow that never went away, no timeout,
no cancel button. I have given up and have gone back to
Money 2004 because there is not enough in Money 2005
considering what I give up. I would think Microsoft
would be embarrased to release a new product that has an
issue with SP2, AFTER SP2 was released.

Why the large YLPGSCAT.DAT?
I'm trying to set up a backup regime on my PC (W2K) and so am having a
look at files on my system.
I have MS Money 2003 installed and it has created a file "C:\Documents

Why is it there? I don't know if there is a requirement for Webcaching
that requires me to have this file.
Is there a list (anywhere) that contains file listings saying what a
file is and giving information on whether it is useful or not?

Money 2001 Std vs 2004 or 2005
Hi,
I'm considering upgrading from Money 2001 Std. to either 2004 or 2005
and interested in your experience/opinions. Is mostly to keep my
software current as Money 2001 is robust enough for my needs, though
I worry that eventually the banks will only accept software that is
just a couple of years old.
Interested in any major improvements to newer versions and especially
in any drawbacks having to do with removal or replacement of features.
About the only bad behavior I encounter in Money 2001 is when it
labels transactions imported on bank statements after previous
transactions having nothing to do with the current one. For
instance... If I charge record a check for $60 and make it payable to
Bank #1, Money sometimes labels a whole bunch of transactions the same
way. Doesn't even have to be similar names or amounts. Sometimes its
just too "intuitive" for its own good. Is minor annoyance, but still
out there.
One major concern I have about newer versions is "too much security".
Let me explain:
I am running multiple copies of my WIN XP Pro OS on multiple hard
drives within the same computer. These are perfectly legal clones of
the OS on the first hard drive and its just one of those redundancy
(or paranoia) things I tend to do. I normally install applications to
anything but "C" drive, but of course they still place lines in the
Windows registry.
When I installed Money 2001 I encountered a situation where the
program generated a unique license or ID number for each installation,
thereby interfering with my system or method of installing from or
onto each operating system partition, but having all of the OS's share
one instance of the application's files (i.e. Winxp 1 on disk 0 and
Winxp 2 on disk 1 which are both "C" partitions, actually used the
Money Installation on a logical drive "E" for instance). I found a
work around and exported the registry branch for Money 2001 from one
XP OS's partition and imported to both of the others after logging
onto them. It worked and I have had no operational problems since.
However....Does anyone use a setup at least remotely similar to mine,
and if so, were you able to access Money from the first OS Partition
on which you installed it after having added it to another OS
Partition within your system? If I'm not able to install Money on each
partition as described above, I may as well stick with old version.
Thanks for any ideas/input/feedback.
