    - help w/ online services manager I just started using Money 2003 standard edition and cannot get the online services setup. When I click on a financial institution, such as Discover or T.Rowe Price, I get an error message: "Money cannot complete a required online call at this time. Please check your internet settings and try again." My internet connection works fine, I can go online from within Money, and for some reason my checking account data has been downloaded to Money. I just cant figure out why I cannot even connect to any other of my accounts. Anyone have any ideas? Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183831

    - GIC (CD) Question After reading other questions and responses reagrding the creation and management of CD's, I have the following question: I have been struggling to find the appropriate investmant to use for a Canadian GIC (guaranteed interest), another user suggested using CD's which seems to work fine. My employer deposits an amount monthly to a GIC which is locked in for 5 years at a pre-determined interest rate. This started just over 5 yrs ago, so they are starting to mature. Since then, my employer switched to bi-weekly desposits, so now I have new deposits every 2 weeks, and maturing investments every month. Until now, I have been satisfied with tracking the investments and interest gains as a simple savings account. If I want to be as accurate as possible, do I have to create 60 (5 yrs times 12 months) CD investmants, all with different maturity dates and interest rates? and continue to do so every 2 weeks as long as my employer continues to deposit? This means that 5 years down the road I will have 130 small investments (26 pay periods times 5 yrs) and still have to create new names for the investments every 2 weeks. It seems like I am missing somthing fundamental, there must be an easier way. Also, I am transferring the maturing deposits to higher yield RRSP's. Is there an automatic feature that will perfom this task whenever the CD/GIC matures, or does it have to be done manually each time the investmant matures? I hope this makes sense to someone! Thanks!

    - Fundamental Problem With CDs I must be doing something fundamentally wrong with the way I work with my CDs in Money 2005, and I'd appreciate some advice. I opened a one month CD a couple of years ago and I have just let the bank renew it automatically. When I enter the renewal information from the bank, Money requires me to "redeem" the CD, then "buy" a new CD. This is counter-intuitive since the bank uses the same account number. For example, I have to "redeem" CD Account 123 and "buy" a new CD Account 123 #2. Then a month later I "redeem" CD Account 123 #2 and "buy" CD Account 123 #3. Since each is treated as a separate investment, I can't track how the CD has done over a period of a couple of years. I can't compare how the CD has performed compared to other investments. When it comes to CDs, it appears Money 2005 can do nothing but register transactions. That's no better than the 3-ring binder that I have been using. Should I be taking a different approach? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183798

    - Update Prices Online... not updating stock prices - Money 2004 Hi all, I just upgraded from Money 2002 to Money 2004. In Money 2004 when I do a "Update prices Online" to update the prices of my stocks, this task runs to completion with out error but the actual stock prices are not updated. The "Read Call Summary Messages" for this task said it completed successfully. I even tried turning off my firewall. I went to "Update prices manually" and there was no new entries/prices for any of the stock. I verified my stocks still have the correct stock symbol listed. I also selected "Pick Quotes to Download" and made sure my stocks were selected to download update prices. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    - Downloading transactions over and over For the most part I'm enjoying Money 05, but I've noticed that some of my MSN-linked bank accounts (ones kept up to date using the Yodlee service provided by the Money website) ocassionally download transactions that have already been downloaded and accepted. For example every day for the past week its downloaded 2 transactions in my checking account that I accepted a week ago. It's not a huge deal, but it's annoying to be told I have transactions I need to review and I go there and it's old stuff that's coming in again. -Dan Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183787

    - Please Consult Before Posting: Unofficial FAQ Available An unofficial FAQ for this newsgroup is available at http://umpmfaq.info. The source FAQ was last updated Thursday, December 23, 2004. You may save yourself and those willing to spend their time helping you both time and hassle by consulting this resource before posting what may already be a FAQ. The unofficial FAQ answers 161 of the most frequently asked questions in this newsgroup. Note that only a limited number of FAQ items have been added or modified for Money 2005--those that are derive from my limited experience with the product and on very high profile items in the newsgroup. If you are using Money 2005 and have a question or if you are considering using Money 2005, please read http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm. Likewise, a comprehensive archive of this newsgroup is available at http://groups.google.com. Click on Advanced Groups Search; there you should specify newsgroup microsoft.public.money and some search terms you consider appropriate. It is *highly likely* the issue you want help with has been discussed before. In some case you will find it has been discussed **many** times before. If you are reading this group through the Microsoft Community Newsgroups web page interface, you may find the native Usenet newsreader tools handier. Click here to try them: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.money. 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: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183776

    - Tracking designated funds Periodically I will receive some funds (e.g. tax return, sale of stock, etc.) that I work out how to spend (e.g. to pay off debts, make specific purchases, etc.). In almost all cases, those funds are deposited in my primary checking account. In many cases, some of those funds get reallocated simply because they are in that checking account. What I would like to do is track those specific expenditures against those funds while they are in my checking account. Is there a way to do that without changing how they are categorized? In other words, I want to be able to continue to track the income and expenses with all my other expenses. Thanks, David Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183775

    - Pre-tax accounts & budgeting OK... maybe I'm stupid, but how do I do the following? (Using Money 2003 Deluxe - Yes, I've suffered with this problem for 1.5 years now.) I have a medical pre-tax spending account set up on my paycheck so on my budget this amount shows under the "Transfer out of budget accounts" group (along with my 401k deduction). My pre-tax account is set up as an "asset" account. Here is my question. When I record an expense or withdrawl for a doctor's bill, etc., what category am I supposed to use? How does this whole process work? I knew how to do this in Quicken 98, but not in Money. The way I'm doing it now I get hit twice on my budget for expense that I have reimbursed with dollars from this pre-tax account. Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183771

    - Total Account Value Makes No Sense I have two CDs recorded in Money 2005 Investment Account. One CD is worth about $11,000, the other about $29,000.

    - Comparison of Quicken & Money--first impressions. Using Money 2005 and Quicken 2005. I have been a Money user for years. My goals in using the packages are to keep track of my checking accounts, investment accounts and credit cards and to watch my budget. I use my brokers free bill pay system and various outside services for investment decisions. I have been frustrated for some time with Money with their system for setting up and classifying categories and the continued inability to download transaction from my local bank and one of my investment brokers. I found the budget process very cumbersome. So I decided to try Quicken starting on the 1st of the year. The download took about 20 minutes on my DSL line. I was able to set up and download my local checking account, all my credit cards and both brokers in 4-5 hours. I had to make a few adjustments in my broker accounts for positions that were created prior to the dates I was able to download. What I like about Quicken is the fast downloads of all my accounts, the ability to set up classifications using the names I want and the budget set up (so far). I do not like the screens as well as the ones in Money 2005. It is too soon for me to tell if I will keep Quicken or not. Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183765

    - 2003 CDN Edition - Setting up a 5yr GIC I am trying to set up a retirement account that my employer contributes to; a 5 year guaranteed interest account. Even tho I have the CDN edition, all banking info and retirement account info is for US users, no CDN info available. Is this the same for '04 and '05 versions? What type of retirement account should I be choosing for the GIC (the 401K perhaps)? The account is just over 5 years old, so there are bi-weekly contributions from my employer, plus on a monthly basis, there are transfers out to RRSP's because of the maturing 5 year old deposits (the employer recently changed from monthly contributions to bi-weekly).

    - Last Updated date wrong on Account List Hi- When I click on Accounts it shows the Last Updated date for my broker to be 12/29/04 but I just updated it today and got transactions. When I click on the date it brings up the little box with the passwords and everything and in gray says last updated as 1/1/05. Now I just recently switched brokers and changed this account over to a new login and password so I am wondering if it might have something to do with that. It is not a huge deal just kinda annoying when I am trying to figure out if everything is up to date. Does anyone know what might be causing this discrepancy?

    - Categorization Methodologies Where are some of the best practices for building a good taxonomy (hieracrchy)? This is regardless of the whether it is MM, Quicken, home-grown spreadsheet, or even just manually. How many top-level categories? How many levels deep for sub-categories? How to optimize for data entry and still have the ability to slice and dice across sub-categories? Best ways to create multiple views? Example: "Insurance" as a spending category. Is it better to have "Insurance" as a sub-category to several top-categories? House: Payments (mortgage) House: Insurance (homeowners) House: Taxes (property) Cars: Payments (loan) Cars: Insurance (auto) Cars: Taxes (registration, ad valorum) Healthcare: Payments (co-pays to doctors) Healthcare: Insurance (major medical) Healthcare: Prescriptions Investments: Stocks Investments: Insurance (universal life) Investments: Real Estate Or would it be better to make "Insurance" a top-level category with the inverse for sub-categories: Insurance: House (homeowners) Insurance: Car (auto) Insurance: Healthcare (major medical) Insurance: Investments (universal life) Either way, there are trade-offs. And clearly, each individual will have their own spending patterns. Curious to know different approaches. . . Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183720

    - Money Counts Transfers as Income In MS Money 2004 Premium, I've noticed that in the "reports" section, "income and spending over time" report, that MS Money counts transfers between accounts as both an income and expense: income to the account receiving the transfer, and expense to the account the transfer comes from. This is a problem, as if I have a month with a few transfers between accounts, it totally screws up the income and expense: it can be much different than the prior month, even though in reality my income and expense levels are about the same.

    - Why is the data pulled down from an online update, ALL WRONG? I'm using Money 2004 Deluxe. I just figured out how to get online updates for my 403(b) from Fidelity. I've pull everything down into MS Money. Looked cool, at least for a while. Then I noticed that out of the 6 mutual funds I'm investing in, only 2 had symbols associated with them. So I tried to assign the symbols to the other 4. Only thing is when I did, I got error messages saying that the symbol was already in use. So then I went into help and found that if I went to the Investing menu option and choose "Work With Investments" and then choose "Choose a specific investment", I got a list of all of the mutual funds that I have, but they almost seem duplicated. For example, a partial list of the funds are: Fidelity Blue Chip Fidelity Blue Chip Growth (FBGRX) and most of the rest of the mutual funds that I downloaded from Fidelity, and apparently were already in MS Money. The ones downloaded from Fidelity didn't have the symbol, and the ones already in MS Money did (e.g.: the "FBGRX" above). Now, what do I do?! How do I combine them into the correct fund WITH the symbol? And what about other downloads of updates from Fidelity? Are they all going to have the wrong fund names with no symbols, requiring me to have to merge them again? If so, this whole online stuff is completely worthless, if I have to spend more time manually changing things. Rod Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183699

    - Multiple Change on Category Does Not Work Does anyone else have this problem? I just converted to Money 2005 Deluxe and I'm trying to clean some of my records up. When I am looking at a category (by going to Banking --> Account Tools --> Categories and Payees), it will show me all the transactions that have that category. There is a button that says "Change Category..." I can use this to change just one transaction, but if I highlight more than one, it will not change them all. It only changes the last one that is highlighted. Should I submit this as a bug and if so where? Thanks, Micky Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183680

    - Password issue on Restore? (Ahh!) I upgraded to Windows XP this weekend and reinstalled Money 2005. I have backups of my old money file. When I elect to "restore" my backup it asks for my account name (?) as usual and my .net password. The password I thought I was using is invalid so I chose "I forgot my password" and reset it. The new password also does not let me restore the money files. I'm totally locked out and I have no idea of what to do next. Help! Thanks. Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183679

    - Linked Transactions/downloads I am new to MS Money 2004. Can someone please explain something to me... I have setup my accounts and have several with a particular bank: 'MyBank'. MyBank allows me to download my transactions from my credit, checking, and savings accounts. When I import all the transactions, many of them are actually associated (i.e. credit card payments from [MyBank: Checking] to [MyBank: Credit card A]). What I do understand (I think) from reading other posts, the FAQ, etc. is that expenses should be categorized in the credit card account and the credit card payments should be "Transferred" from the checking account to the credit card account. What I don't understand is when I go to the payment transaction in my checking account and mark it as a "Credit Card Payment" or "Transfer", it creates a duplicate transaction in the other (credit card) account and offsets my balance. What I would like to know is: 1. Is there a way to "Link" transactions that already exist in both accounts b/c they were downloaded without creating the duplicate? 2. If this is not possible, what is the best way to handle this? Not accept the downloaded transaction in the credit card account? Delete it if it has already be accepted? 3. Is it possible to retain different dates for the transaction? Meaning, the downloaded transaction in the checking account shows the date the payment was made from that account whereas the payment to the credit card account shows when it posted TO that account. Sorry for the long post and if I am missing something obvious...any help is greatly appreciated. Scott Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183675

    - Microsoft Money I have used Money for years and recently upgraded to 2005. I have problem when I mark a bill "cleared". The right mouse button always works but I'm use to "CTRL-M" and that works on and off. Any reason why? Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183674

    - Handling Home Mortgage with Escrow payments I make a payment to a mortgage company that escrows for taxes and insurance to be paid out at the end of the year. Who has suggestions as to the easiest method of tracking this? Tag: 2005 TRIAL - BE CAREFUL Tag: 183665

Remember, if you download a TRIAL and you don't like it and want to revert,
MONEY is not backwards compatable. You can LOOSE your data and it can be a
pain. When you use a TRIAL, do NOT use your main MONEY FILE, use the sample
data instead or you will be wishing you listened to this advice.

I think that would be straight forward knowledge for almost any software.

You can certainly use your main file--Money will preserve a backup of the
back-level file when upgrading it. It never hurts to have extra backups,
besides. Everybody considering the upgrade should try it with the Trial
before getting committed.
