    - Money 2004 Freezes IE 6 SP Browser Hello: I'm using Money 2004 Canadian version and I've noted that it seems to cause IE 6 SP to freeze sometimes. I've tried making the MS Browser the preferred browser in MS Money, as well as using "my default browser" which of course is IE 6 SP but it doesn't seem to matter. To be more precise, it seems that sometimes when Money is open, the IE window freezes and in fact, you cannot even "ALT-TAB" over from Money to IE. As soon as Money is closed, IE seems to work fine again. Has anyone else had this experience? Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157618

    - MS Money 2000 - Updating quotes I bought my copy of Ms Money 2000 whilst in the US. I moved back to the UK and changed the base currency to GBP. Now when I try to update stock quotes, I get a response that says I have to re-install. I have the original CD but I am not sure if the problem will go away. Anybody have a solution that will enable me update my quotes? Other aspects work well. -- I2CanWin I know I have a brain I just can't lay my hands on it Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157607

    - Cost of Goods Sold I have tried to find information on cost of goods sold for Microsoft Money 2004 Small Business. I was able to setup COGS accounts in Quickbooks but seems like there is no ability to add these type of accounts to the Money program. Am I missing something? Also, I have not found information on creating purchase orders for vendors or state sales tax liability on taxed products sold to customers. Any help on this information is appreciated. Thank you!

    - Standard v. Deluxe I am a long-time Money user. I have always used the Standard Edition. I am now ready to upgrade to 2004 and it looks like the standard version no longer supports investment tracking, as prior standard editions have. Am I missing something here or am I correct that Microsoft found a way to force standard users to upgrade to the deluxe version? Has anyone gone from Money standard 2001/2002/2003 to standard 2004 and lost functionality? If I am correct, then I will hold onto my current standard version! Thanks for your thoughts.

    - Mny 2001 FI List MS Money seems to be unable to update the financial institution list.... I have an account with Harrisdirect which does appear on Microsoft's list of banks on its web site. However, it does not appear within my list of available institutions. Only conclusion I can draw is that Microsoft is not allowing the list to be updated in this older version. Any ideas???

    - Archive problems with Money 2002 I have searched through this forum for topics related to archiving and I did not see one with my particular issue. the general gist of the posts that I have seen, however, is to avoid archiving. That said, I'm hoping that someone has a better answer. I will try to be brief: When I tried to archive my transactions today, I noted immediately that my bank account balance went to negative $ 15k. Several of my credit card accounts were also badly messed up. Upon further research, it seems that any transaction associated to the cash portion of my brokerage account was not being archived. All other transactions were archived. I didn't try to sort through the hundreds (thousands?) of transactions to come up with a trial balance, but this seems to be the root cause. 1. I am sure that I selected all accounts to be archived during the archive process. 2. I am sure that none of my investment accounts appeared in that list. 3. My Money file is up to about 20 MB and I really would like to get rid of some of the older transactions (date less than 1/1/2003). Is there something that I can do? Is this something that is fixed in a later version (I am using MS Money 2002 Deluxe). Regards, Hugh Scott Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157586

    - Unable to download into Money Delux 2004 I had my Money 2004 working properly, so that downloads in Money OFX format from my bank would automatically trigger the function in Money that prompted me to import the file. However, for some reason, this has now stopped working. When I am in my bank's website, and click on the download to Money option, it flashes what appears to be the download window, and then completes, but a) never gives me the file save/open option and b) Money sits quietly running in the background and does not recognize a file waiting for its attention. Does anyone have any idea how I go about fixing this? Thanks. On another note - does Microsoft offer product support for issues like this? Thanks again. Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157581

    - A little budget understanding, please I am a new Money 2004 user after using Quicken for 10 years. I have noticed the monthly bills I have assigned dollar amounts to show up in the Budget planner. Underneath these routine bills, another budget entry is there entitled "other expenses for . . . ." If I leave the "other expenses for {whatever monthly bill I have setup} blank, it shows up during the review of the budget with no amount budgeted for that catergory. Even though I have a dollar amount setup for the monthly bill. However, if I enter the same dollar amount as the monthly bill, it than shows a subtotal double the amount I am really having to pay. And it effects my bottom line as far as realistic total expenses. Also is there a way to delete more than one Payee at a time? With the hundreds I have, I wanted to wipe most of them out. Thank You!

    - ms Money 2002 I have to do reports for our CPA, and he doesn't want to see irrelevant transactions. I put them in a catagory that I would like to see all these transactions in ONE catagory. In other words......the s-distributions just listed all together, with a total. It keeps separating them, and he doesn't need to know how much I spent at the grocery store, or how much I spent on my utilities. He only wants to see a TOTAL for that catagory. I hope this is clear to someone, so that I can figure out how to do it. Thank you so very much for any help you can give me. Sincerely, Renee Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157554

    - Canadians: Avoid MS Money 2004!! It's crap! I just wasted $50 on MS Money 2004 Canadian version. It has absolutely no support for RRSPs, yet it claims to be customized for Canadians. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I have attempted to get a refund from Future Shop but they won't take it back because the CD has been opened. This is selling merchandise under false pretenses. If a financial application is supposed to be "Canadianized" and yet does not support or recognize a basic RRSP, it's sub-standard. A few years ago I had Quicken's Canadian version and had no problem with it. I'm going back to it. I'm totally disgusted with MS's so-called Canadian version. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON MS MONEY CANADIAN VERSION 2004. IT'S GARBAGE. Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157547

    - Best Buy credit card & Debt Reduction Planner How do I get my Household Bank / Best Buy credit card information added to my debt reduction planner? If I made a major purchase on their zero interest financing for 18 months plan, and they only want a very low minimum payment each month until then, then I need to somehow indicate that the remainding balance no matter how high it is, absolutely must be paid by the 18th month. Otherwise, they will go and add on a lot of interest for all of the previous 18 months. When I indicate to Microsoft Money that an intro rate is in effect of 0.0% until May of 2005, then the only option it gives me for what shall happen at the end of this is a new fixed interest rate for from there on out. Is there no way to indicate that on that date if a balance remains then it will back-date the interest for 18 months worth? I tried just feeding it some false data to trick it into thinking that it would be more important to pay that card off by the 18th month than some of the other ones. For example, I tried telling MS Money that the fixed rate after the 18th month is 100%. Even at 100% interest Microsoft Money is suggesting that I let the balance slide for a couple of months beyond the 18th month before it wants me to pay it off completely. -Jeff Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157536

    - setting up an escrow account in the mortgage setup My mortgage, as do most, has an escrow payment each month that is included in the payment of principal and interest. I have always following bookkeeping procedure and set this up as an account (not expense category). The money is paid into the account and when taxes, insurance etc is due it is disbursed. In setting up my Home Mortgage I can find no way to do this in Money. The only thing it provides for is setting up a Category and this is not the proper way to handle it. There is no other choice since the drop down list to assign this portion of the payment is only the Categories with no Accounts to chose from. Any help much appreciated. I tried to submit this question by Email to Microsoft Help but could find no address for it anywhere. Does anyone have it? My understanding is that I am entitled to this with the DeLuxe edition. I didn't try by phone since it is a Sunday. Thanks in advance. Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157524

    - Can't Update Fidelity Online Services and Accounts I just upgraded Money 99 with Money 2004 Deluxe, in part because it stopped updating my Fidelity accounts some months ago. I was told then MS no longer supported Money 99 and I should upgrade. Anyway, with the new Money 2004 install, Online Services Manager indicates Fidelity Investments needs to be updated. After going through the motions of updating, the system indicates update for OFX02051 was successful and directs me to read a message from OFX02051 it. That message starts with one of those nerve jarring Windows "you made a mistake" sounds and says "C:\microsoft money\system\bds\USAFidelity Distributors Corporation\Info.htm" cannot be opened. Online Services Manager still shows Fidelity needs to be updates. Attempts to update my Fidelity accounts fail even though accounts with another brokerage are updated.

    - Account discrepancy One of my credit card accounts in Money 2004 has developed a multiple personality disorder. The balance displayed on the account register is $20.31. However, the Debt Reduction Planner shows that the account has an $821 balance; i.e., an $800 discrepancy, with rounding. I just received the most recent statement for the account. When I go to the Balance Account wizard, the 'total amount owed last month' (i.e., the opening balance) is $800 higher than it should be--and $800 higher than the 'total amount owed this month' (i.e., the closing balance). Although I can enter an $800 adjustment, this shouldn't be needed; the account's opening balance (from Spring 2003) is zero and there aren't that many transactions. I balanced fine with the last statement. And as of the closing date of the last statement, the balance is fine. It's a complete mystery. What would cause this? IMO, there is some kind of corruption with this account, at least. Are there any tools that can verify the integrity of an MNY file? Tag: Upgrading from Money 2000 Tag: 157472

Ideally what you want to do is copy the *.mny file across to the new PC.
Then double click on the file name in WE and M2004 will fire up, recognise
and convert the file.

If you use a CD to take the .mny file across don't forget to change to
attributes on the new PC from Read Only.

BTW I assume M2004 is from the same geography as M2000? i.e. they must both
be UK versions.
