Pocket Money 2003 Help
Does anyone have any clue when an update/fix will be
posted for Pocket Money 2003. I bought a new Toshiba 355
with Pocket Pc 2003 and my new Money 2003 doesn't work
with my new PDA (The main reason I bought both). I called
support a month ago, and they said they would probably
post a new download within a couple weeks. Of course, no
download yet.
Am I going to have to buy yet another version of Money to
get it to work????

30 MONEY back guatantee for Money 04
I wanted to pass a little note to remind everyone, and most of you may know
this, that Money 04 does offer a 30 money back guarantee. I believe that
most of the other versions offered this as well.
I took this option yesterday with Best Buy after not being impressed with
Money 04. I know it had some new options, but nothing worth the money it
costs. Heck, even an icon change would have been nice.
When I took it back to Best Buy the guy was not going to let me return it
because of the "open software" policy, which I do support, however I pointed
to the logo on the back of the box and he was amazed and refunded my money.
So, if you on the fence just take it back within the 30 days. Tag: New Template Tag: 142981
Sign-in error
Money 2002 has been working fine until recently. When
signing on with my .Net Passport keep getting 2 error
messages...
"Money is unable to verify your online sign-in. Money
will now try to log you in using Work Offline sign-in.
Some online features, such as background banking, will be
unavailable possibly because of network problems. To use
online features, please close Money and try to sign again
later."
After clicking okay on that message, I get another error
message...
"The sign-in attempt for < > was unsuccessful. Please
try your sign in name and password again."
Everything has been working fine in the past and this
problem has only begun recently. I am using Norton
Internet Security, but the only real restriction
pertaining to Money 2002 will be the Advertisements.
Still, it was working two weeks ago the same as it was 6
months ago and as far as I know, is configured the same
way today. I am employed by my ISP, no problems there. I
usually find problems like this are caused by an update,
any ideas or fixes known? My .Net pastport is functional
and works everywhere else just fine like it has for at
least a year or more...

is M04 salv different than M03 salv; If not M04 is corrupting M03 files
Does the salv utility in M04 detect and fix things that the M03 salv
utility doesn't?
Here is the situation:
Existing M03 file passes level 1 and level 2 salv without any
problems.
Convert that file to M04.
Run salv on the converted M04 file and there are all kinds of errors.
Fix the new M04 file using salv.
I can't reconcile several accounts.
Not only is M04 not worth upgrading for M03 users, it screws my file

investment history
I am trialing money 2003; I've never had any package
prior to this.
I started out by entering the current valuation of my
investments but I'd like to see how each has performed
across the many years I've held them. (Some as many as 20
years).
I don't want to enter every transaction over the 20 years
but if I know the original shares & cost & purchase date
could I enter that instead of what I did enter and then
do an online update to get the current value ?
Would I then have enough information to see performance
or do I have to enter all additional purchases & the
price at that time and all dividends which were
reinvested to get a true picture?
What do people in my situation do?

Money 2004 unable to change to Canadian settings
Just installed and reinstalled few times Money 2004 under
different Regional settings in Windows XP Home.
Everything works except changing settings from default US
currency to Canadian settings. Thus I can't setup my
online banking as my banks in Canada are not recognized.
I followed to the letter instruction how to change
currency settings several times with no luck.
I had exactly same problem with Money 2002 and this why I
used Quicken instead.
With so many problems reported earlier I thought that
change of settings is fixed in 2004 version - any idea
how to make it work? Tag: New Template Tag: 142925

MSN Bill Pay questions
I am using M2003 with Bank One BillPay which costs me $5/mo. 1 year of free
MSN Bill Pay (with M2004) sounds tempting.
Bank One uses Checkfree on it's back end. I'm generally very happy with the
service. For parties that accept electronic transfers, Bank One deducts the
$$ from my account on the due date. For other vendors, they write them a
paper check from their own account and again deduct the $$ from my account
on the due date. In every case, my account sees the $$ taken away on the
due date.. everything is very predictable.
Is that how MSN Bill pay work?
When do $$ get removed from my account (for electronic transfer and paper
check payments)?
Do I require to link my M2004 file to a Passport account to use MSN BillPay?
Thanks.

Money 2002
I have recently switched computers and am having a couple
issues with Money 2002. The 1st issue is that when I am
opening Money I get an error "operation cannot be
performed". When I click on OK I seem to be able to do
everything I want. I originally had that problem when
clicking on Bills & Deposits but when we reinstalled that
was fixed but it seemed to have moved. What would you
suggest?
Also, today when using Money it would just shut down on

Canadian Money version ok for small business??
I am switching from Mac OS X to XP and I have to choose an
app for my small business accounting. I have been using
MYOB but I really don't need the features of a full-
fledged accounting program - just a small (2 employee)
payroll, AR/AP and basic reports. No inventory, etc.
Quicken XP seems ready to be used in this fashion, but
I've been burned by Intuit in the past and don't
necessarily want to give them more money. So I'm
considering Money 2004 Canadian Edition. Can anyone out
there reassure me about Money's ability to perform the
tasks I need? I note that in the U.S. there is a separate
edition for business use, but in Canada there isn't.
Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide an easy way to
ask them the questions directly. I think this pre-sales
support gives an indication of the support level in
general, so I wonder about going with Money.

restoring from mo98
I have recently reloaded my pc with win2000 and money 98.
I went to restore from my back up disk and the file type
is .mbf not .myn which is what money is looking for. I had
also backed up to my other HD and this also has a .mbf
extention but is 5 times larger.
I have tried to change the extention but money just tells
me that the file is corrupt so I tried the same thing with
the other backup and the same problem ( the file is
currupt ) but i find it highly unlikly that both files are
currupt. Also this doesnt explain the fact that both files
have seemingly the wrong extention .mbf instead of .mny.
Can any one help as I have 3 years of finacial info in

Mny2002, Credit cards Average
I set to track detail transactions of credit cards, so

estimate how much average I spend on that card each month
over past couple months, but I can't find such function.
I know I can go to payee to get a list of payments to the

this "average" calculation?

Moving investments from an old Money file to a new one
I'm trying to create a new clean Money file because I'm getting the error
message "A File needed to run the Planner is either missing or corrupted. To
resolve this problem, reinstall Money and then reopen your Money file"
Reinstalling doesn't help - I think Money has a basic flaw when moving from
one country to another (I moved from the UK to the US) and you change the
Base currency used.
So - I thought... I can easily update my bank account details again, and I
haven't used the advanced planning features in ages. So all I need to really
transfer over are my investment portfolio. I did a Loose QIF export - but
when I IMPORT them into the new file, it gets to a point where it asks me to
choose an Investment - and wont show me anything in the list. Do I need to
create a new investment ALL over again? Does the Import do anything at all?

Hello?! .NET Passport problem?
I've read some other posts about this problem, but I
haven't seen the answer, and I thought that if anyone in
the Microsoft Universe ever bothers to read the

Money tells me that my .net sign-in was unsuccessful.
It's been this way for a week now. I've tried to change
my .net info. When I go to the .net website, the sign-in
works. When I try to tell Money to update my .net info
or change my .net info, it tells me that I need to enable
my browser to do cookies. But I have told my browser to
accept all cookies, and it still doesn't work. Plus,
cookies work on other sites. When I went to the .net
website, it tells me that the .net servers are all up and
working fine. Any ideas? Tag: New Template Tag: 142834
Have o buy a new Money prog & need some info
Hi All - Microsoft Money 2000 - Windows ME
About 3 weeks ago I lost access to my Microsoft Money program, it just will
not open. When I click the desktop icon, I get nothing, no errors, just a
short flash of the hourglass as it seems to try to open, then just.. zippo..
The fact that it is giving me the silent treatment, won't even argue with
me, refuses to give me any clue as to why it just stopped working, is a real
puzzle. If it would at least throw me an error message and tell me why, I
might be able to find a way to make peace. But, the cold-shoulder treatment
leaves me helpless to know what to do to resolve the problem.
I have run a search for the CABS, and can find the ones that are supposed to
reinstall it, but, it seems to refuse to recognize them (it), so there is no
hope there either. I have to assume that for some reason, it has just
suddenly passed away, and I will have to replace it.
My question is, which more recent version of the Microsoft Money can I
replace it with that will still work with my 2000 files. I only used it for
storing my check register and those related records, thank goodness. I
always backed my files up to a floppy and CD for safety, and did so right
before the program bit the dust.
I would truly appreciate it someone could tell me which new version I can
get that will still work with the 2000 files.
Best regards,
Jan :) Tag: New Template Tag: 142832

Transfer or Sell?
Two quick questions;
First is there a difference in Money (calculations,
taxes, etc.) if you 1.) transfer out from a 'stock' to
a 'cash' and then transfer in a 'stock' from the 'cash'
or 2.) if you sell stock to cash, then buy stock from
cash or 3.) transfer one 'stock' to another 'stock'? All
of this is occuring from within a 401(k) or IRA account.
Second, is there a reason why I should deposit into a 401
(k) or other IRA with a contribution, then 'buy' an
equity from the contribution instead of just directly
buying the equity from my checking account? Should these
be done via transfers?
Thanks in advance for advice you may have for me. Tag: New Template Tag: 142788
$2004 probably not worth the upgrade for $2003 users
I stopped by a CompUSA yesterday and spent about 10 minutes trying to figure
out if 2004 was worth the upgrade (I have 03). I finally decided it wasn't.
The box is very vague about what's been upgraded. It DOES have a "Haven't
upgraded Money in a while?" list, but nothing similar for 2003. The home
page is now "dynamic" (which just seemed to mean you could read MSN Money
articles on the homepage). Transaction matching has been changed in some
way so it works "better". There's a credit area that gives you your credit
score (with Equifax service, I assume) and some suggestions for managing
your debt load. I didn't see much else.
I think I understand why MS hasn't made any kind of deal out this. I think
it's a VERY minor upgrade for '03 users and they didn't want to incur our
wrath from a major campaign that talked us into shelling out $40 for nothing
new. Looks like it's better suited for '02 and earlier versions. As it is,
I'm waiting until there's a free trial on the webpage, '05 is released, or
Sam's Club gets it for $15 after rebates (how I got '03).
Hope that helps some of you decide. Tag: New Template Tag: 142786
Gainskeeper and Money 2004
I saw a post that a year's subscription to http://www.gainskeeper.com is
included with one of the Money 2004 versions. After going to the
GainsKeeper site, apparently they don't allow you to import historical
transactions into their system without those counting against a pre-set
number of trades/year. Gainskeeper has two levels of subscription - oOne
that allows 100 trades per year for $49.00 annually and another that offers
1000 trades per year for $149.00.
In my money file I have over 2000 investment transactions dating back to
1995. From the looks of it, this would require me to sign up for the
$149.00 service and pay an additional $198.00 for an extra 2 "trade buckets"
of 500 trades apiece. This would just cover the entry of my historical
data - not trades going forward for the year.
Can anyone who has purchased Money 2004 and tried integrating with
Gainskeeper confirm if this behavior is also true with the integration with
Money? If so, it would seem to someone limit the value of this integration
unless you're willing to pay through the nose for setting it up.
