    - "downloaded" date does not update M05 Deluxe. But the problem started with M02. I do not use any online banking services like billpay or anything like that. I go out to my Credit Union site about once a week and I export my checking account to an OFX file. Each time I do that, it automatically imports to my checking account register in M05. For a couple years, it would also list the date of the last download at the top of the column to the left of the register. But suddenly on October 13, 2003, it stopped changing the date and balance in that spot. The balance at the bottom of the register is right. It's not really a problem. It's an annoyance. I have to keep a piece of paper by my computer reminding me of the last date I downloaded the account so that I don't keep downloading the same dates over and over. Can this be fixed? Thanks! kp Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 185079

    - Best Way to Handle Recreating Accounts and Category Info My HD crashed and most of the data in Money 2004 Small Biz was lost. (At the same time I was served a notice from the IRS that I am being audited for Charitable Contributions and Employee Non Reimbursements.) I have received copies of all bank statements and scanned them into excel and am now converting to QIF files that will be imported into Money. Questions: 1. In order to recreate checking, savings, mortgage, car loans, and credit card accounts, should I create these accounts in Money first with a zero balance prior to import? 2. Before import, should I also edit the QIF file for all categories including all transfers paying credit cards, mortgages, car loans as well as utilities OR can I do this after import using the wizard with a manual update of each transaction for interest expense, etc.? 3. I was using 2004 SM Biz only to begin tracking a part-time business for my roommate but I don't need Small Biz for my personal records. Is there a way for my personal financials to be entered without requiring me to enter business data? I believe I tried to use the set-up wizard and was prompted for business then. But if I skip the set up and add accounts in my file then I should be ok, right? I am trying to decide to use 2004 Premium, 2004 Small Biz or 2005. But with all that I have read on 2005 I am leaning heavily to 2004 until later. Thanks in advance. Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 185077

    - Automatically categorize after download I download my transactions every week or so and am wondering if there is a way to have microsoft money 2004 automatically assign a category to a transaction that occurs frequently.

Is there a way to have money automatically assign the food:dining out category to it in the future when I download it? Thanks Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 185075

    - Problems at Money 2005 Startup I have been using the trial version of Money 2005 since the year began. I was thouroughly impressed up until this morning.

    - Savings account transfer - Money 2005 There seem to be two ways of transferring money from my cheque account to my savings account. I can create a transfer transaction in my cheque account by selecting the from and to accounts from the dropdown. Or I can create a debit in my cheque account and select a category of transfer:savingsAccount. 1. Why are there two ways of doing the same thing? 2. is one better or newer than the other? 3. which one should I use for this type of transfer?

    - Mortgage Loan and Asset Account... Hello all, Once again I'm confused. Thanks for everyone's help in the past by the way. First, just let me say that I don't really know what I'm doing but based on what I've read so far, it seems that a mortgage account would make a good asset account. So... Here's the deal, I have successfully setup an account for my mortgage company and when I look at the amortization report it's pretty damn close; off by like 2 cents. I'd say that's close enough. Now when I enter a payment into my checking account to the mortgage company account all of my splits are arranges the way they should be and the Payment, Principal and balance are right on track in the mortgage account. Then what I tried to do (And here is where I'm having trouble) is setup an Asset account that is associated with the mortgage account so that I can show my assets. After I set up an asset account which was linked to my ortgage account I just get a blank register. How do I get the proper entries into my Asset account and how will I know if they're right? By the way, I did read the online help (Which got me no where) and I did browse the FAQ. Am I just spinning my wheels here or am I going too far? If setting up an asset account is a good thing, what do I have to do next based on what I've already told you? Thanks again, Steve Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 185048

    - Weird Problems with Investments I am in the process of entering 21 years of Investment history for my IRA. Its not as bad as it sounds, 2 - 6 entries each month. I first entered the transactions from 1994 to current (plus pre-94 investments I still own) and adjusted the opening balance in the Money Market Fund for December 1993 and everything was find. Once I found the box with the 1983 to 1993 statements, I started entering those transactions. All is find until I get to September 19, 1991 where I did a sell of a Money Market Fund to buy some stock in IBP, Inc. for $3000. Although my 8/31/91 report shows over $5100 in the Money Market-Money thinks I have $845 (I got this through trial and error). I believe this is caused from reconciled the 12/31/2004 balance. I am hoping that I can undo the reconcilation. The second problem is more interesting (smiles). As I am entering the dividends, Money has on occassion gone through and taken dividends in two investments and change them from an inflow to an outflow (like I am paying the Corporation). It is not all dividends for those investments, but a good portion of one and a few in the second one. This problem did stop when I reconciled as I discussed above. Lession learned, start with your first statement (or oldest) when you want to enter history. I believe if I did this I wouldn't have the problems I am experiencing or perhaps introduced another set of problems. Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 185038

    - Apply Paycheck to next month's budget Hello all, I'm wondering if there is a way to apply income to the following month's budget instead of the month it's received in. For example, I get paid on the 15th and the last day of every month. For reporting sake, I'd like the paycheck received on the last day of the month to be considered income for the next month's budget instead of the current month. In other words, the paycheck received on December 31st should be income for January, not December. I could just change the date on the deposit but in some cases that will result in a negative balance in the transaction register. Is there a way to do this? I'm using Money 2004 Thanks!

    - Money 2005 - Changes again! I have been using Money since version 1, now 2005. Every time Microsoft releases a new version of Money, features change or disappear. For example, the font used in printing checks reverts back and the now credit limit for credit cards doesn't appear at the bottom of the account register, my settings for the register display were not retained and there's more. What is the deal, Microsoft? What is the point of changing this stuff? Why can't meaningful changes be made, like multi-selecting several bills to pay with one click like Money 2002 (or 2001) had? Why isn't the cash flow shown on the Pay Bills page? I've had it. I am purchasing Quicken at Best Buy and getting on board with the rest of the world.

    - Mortgage/Loan account question I have setup my morgtgage in Money 2005 S.B. I went back to my previous payemnt (haven't had it long) transactions in checking and changed the category to split Loan:Principal Payment, and Loan:Mortgage Interest with the correct amounts in each. Now I need to get things fixed in one other spot. If I go to Account List, I have Home under Loans & Liabilities. Looking at my account register, all of the transactions are there. Problem is, when I go into each transaction it is split. the first line in split, is no category, description of payment is Payment, and Amount is the total of my payment. The next line is Loan:Mortgage interest. The third line is Loan: Principal Payment. If I go in to correct these values, Money asks me if "I really want to save this deposit that is categorized as an expense. I may have chosen the wrong category. What should be in these split lines for categories? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Mike Tag: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 184986

    - Password Unknown I have a laptop with Money installed and over the years upgraded at least 5 versions to Money 2002. Somewhere along the line, my datafile name changed from myname to My Portfolio When I opened Money 2002 it uses to ask me to enter in my Hotmail password - it already had the hotmail email in the user name box. I enter in the hotmail password and it would tell me that it was the incorrect password, but it would open my data file anyway. At some stage I started tracking my stocks on MSN in the Online Portfiolio feature which was saved on my laptop as a separate file. If I loggen on to MSN and put in my hotmail account, up popped my stock portfolio I think somewhere over the years, Money linked my MSN portfiolio to my Money files with the hotmail account. Three weeks ago the HD on my laptop fried and I got a new one, installed Money 2002 and had a backup of the money data file from a CD When I try to open the file now, it prompts me for a password and my hotmail password is not opening it. If I log on to MSN Money using my hotmail account , it shows my portfiolo. I have tried other passwords that I have used over the years and nothing. 1. Did money change my password when I upgraded to 2002 two years ago. 2. How can I open my file - can MS provide a solutio to this.

    - Liability and Loan Accounts... Hello all, I'm using Money Deluxe 2005 and I have created several credit card accounts. When I enter a transaction into my checking account I can select a category to be paid to that specific credit card account and everything transfers to the proper credit card account including the check number written. Now I just created 2 more accounts as liabilities (Not Loans) although they are loans but loans from friends, not banks. The only categories for these loans are Transfer. Whereas, with my credit card accounts I have both transfer and Credit Card Payment options to the specific credit card accounts. But the only category option I have for the Liability account is Transfer. This is a little confusing to me because when I look at the Liability register, the check number doesn't show and the category is Transfer and there seems to be no way to enter the check number that was written to that account. Yes I can see the check number written in my checking account register but not the liability register. How can I change this so that I can record a payment in my checking account register just like I would like making a credit card payment, Number one. And number two, How can I get the check number to show up in the liability account register? I'm not doing a direct online bank transfer to this liability account.

The debt comes from payments made up from a loan account and increase accordingly as the loan is paid off. - No special debt was selected when the budget was set up and dosn't show when expenses are selected. - The payments for the loan come out of a seperate account and that account is not selected under this particular budget. The special debt only goes away when the loan acount is deleted and I can't find any reason why it is linking the loan account to my budget? any ideas?

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: Using Multiple versions of MS Money Tag: 184913

Is there a problem with using multiple versions of Money? If I have
purchased a newer version and wish to install it on a computer that does not
have Money installed, but would like to still use it on the machine that
already has it installed, what problems would I likely run into? Old version
is Money 2000, new version is Money 2005.

Many thanks if you can help!

I do this on my PC.

Have and like the look and feel of M2001 and I did buy M2004 (to see if
better reports etc)
I do NOT like the look of M2004 - my screen has stuff I do not care to see .
I prefer to see more of MY data than unused fields.

I have a C:\Program Files\M2001 and a C:\Program Files\M2004 folder

I first exported from data 2001 to a backup file in the M2004 folder.
I then imported the file into M2004 (so at that point they both had the
same data)

I download my info , so I open each and update once a month - each
separately.

From one of my banks websites, I do logon and display my history and then
EXPORT data as OFC - Money 2001 recognizes that and wakes up to import.

I then EXPORT as QFX file and save to my desktop . When I open M2004 , I
then import that file - I select which account it is (money market ,
checking, charge card ) - and it loads right up.
Works great.

If you didn't like M04 for this reason, I'd suggest you not even ponder M05.
