Bank Recons Money '04
In the Money '04 "Balance" account screen and in the left
column it states, "The difference between your statement
and register is:" The amount that appears when you first
open the screen is ACTUALLY the difference between the
bank statement beginning balance and the bank statement
ending balance plus any fees or interest.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DEPOSIT TOTALS AND CHECK/PYMT

account balances do not match
The balance shown on the Account List for one of my credit
cards shows that I owe $200. When I open the Transaction

(correctly) a balance of $0. Also, when I go to reconcile
the credit card account with the statement, the "Total
amount you owed last month" default entry shows $200 more
that it should. When I go to correct this error, my only
option is to have the program force balance with a $200

Login Failure -- Response from Microsoft Support
I just ended a chat support session with MS since I was seeing the "Cannot
log in with passport" issue we are all seeing. Here is the response (which
works fine for me). Hope is helps other people too.
{MS}Thank you for holding, after reviewing your problem description, and as
I understand the issue, you are unable to sign into Money using your Hotmail
Passport, is this correct?
There seems to be a problem with some of the Hotmail Passport's we have
notified the Passport team and they are in the early stages of investigating
this. Most likely it will not be resolved until at least next week.
In the mean time you can select to disable the Passport feature in Money by
going to File, Password Manager and click change.
This will still allow you to access MSN BillPay but if you are syncing with
MSN Money it will be affected.
{ME}That is correct for my problem. I use Wells Fargo for online bill pay
through Money. Can I still do that if I disable passport?
{MS}Oh yes, in fact in this situation if you still want to protect your file
with a Passport, you can create a new one at www.passport.com and use it
until the issue is resolved
it will not have any affect what-so-ever on Wells fargo BillPay.
all passport is for is to password protect your file, for background banking
(that is when statements are downloaded when money is closed) or MSN Money
syncing.
{MS}It has no effect on downloading statements when Money is open or using
someone elses BillPay other than MSN Tag: Do Yourself a Favor Tag: 144424
A quicken user needs help!
I switched from Quicken to Money 2004 and like it however there are a couple
of problems I have and assistance.
I download all my statements online (not via MSN but individual downloads
from the bank, credit card etc.)
The first one maybe is my fault and hopefully someone can give me the
solution. When I want to balance my checkbook the only option I get is to
enter my the balance from the paper statement. In quicken there was the
option to balance by choosing either the paper statement or the online
balance statement. Is there a way to do that?
Also I am having problems with some transactions. For example I just
downloaded the charges from my credit card and a few charges confused me.
One was from a company called Horizon Air services. Well, I had dealt with
this company last year on a business trip overseas but there was a new
charge yesterday. This alarmed me and I called the credit card to inquire
and found out that the charge was from a shop called Horizon where my wife
purchased something. however once it was downloaded into Money it changed to
Horizon Air Services. Also there was a charge from a company called Sloat
Garden Center ... but it showed as The Home Depot and yet another one
completely off the mark!
I went to the webpage of my credit card and looked at the history and the
names there were the correct one's. Why did Money changed them once it
downloaded them? Am I doing something wrong here and could someone help me
with this please.
The other feature I do not understand and this has been mentioned a number
of times and that is to be able to back the file up within Money instead of
going through the hoops via windows explorer etc. I do not understand why
the program only offers the floppy drive as an option in the drop down box.

Please Contact Microsoft About Missing or Disappearing Payee Problems
I have filed a support claim with Microsoft about the
disappearing payees problem in Microsoft Money. The problem is becoming
very irritating. I am urging people who have this problem to file a support
incident with the Microsoft Money Support Center. I feel that this is the
only way that they will give the issue the attention that it needs.
Here is a link to Microsoft Money's support website:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mny
If we all work together maybe we can get them to take a look at this sooner
rather than later.
Below are the details of the incident that I filed with Microsoft on
7-31-2003 about the issue:
Payees disappear from the master list of payees. The payee then
becomes unselectable in the drop down list when completing transaction but
it will show up under find and replace on transactions that it was used for
in the past. When the payee is added again, it starts a new record for the
payee and all transaction that use the new one are listed separately from
the transactions that used the payee that has disappeared. To get to view a
list of transactions that used the old payee that is hidden from the master
list, I must select a transaction in an account register that I know used
the old one that is missing from the master list and then right click the
transaction and select "Go to payee:" In order to add a new payee with the
same name is somewhat complicated. Normally when MS Money sees that two
payees have the same name it will offer to merge them. In this case though,
when a payee drops off the master list and I attempt to add it again, MS
Money gives a dialog box that states that the payee already exists and it
can not be created. MS Money knows that the payee exists, but it does not
show it on the payee list or in the transaction drop down box. If a name
that is the same as a missing payee is entered into a transaction form in an
account register, MS Money will force the payee to be recreated with the
same name. Even though there are several transactions under the missing one
(I have had payees with numerous transactions just suddenly vanish from the
master list) MS Money creates the new one with the same name. When this
happens, as I stated above, it treats the payees as if they are two separate
payees even though they are meant to be the same one and they have identical
names. For example, I had a payee called "The Learning Years" in my MS
Money file. I spent over 200 dollars at "The Learning Years" this past
summer in several transactions. Yesterday I went to add a transaction under
"The Learning Years" and the payee was missing. When I entered "The
Learning Years" in the transaction forms payee field, it did not offer it as
a choice in the drop down box. When I completed the Transaction, it asked
me if I wanted to add "The Learning Years" to my list of payees. I said
"yes" and it created the payee with the same identical name as the old one
that has vanished. When I go to "categories and payees" to look at payee
history, I see that only my last transaction with "The Learning Years" is
listed under the new payee that MS Money just created again. If I dig by
doing a search for "The Learning Years" to list all transactions that used
that payee name, I can then find a transaction that used the old one that is
not listed on the master list anymore. If I right click that transaction
and select "Go to payee:" then I can go to the hidden instance of the Payee
"The Learning Years" and the rest of the transactions under that payee can
be seen excluding the most recent one that is now listed under the unhidden
one that shows up in my master list. I know that many people are
experiencing this problem. If you do a search in Google Groups
(groups.google.com) for "money missing OR disappear OR vanish payee" you
will find ample reading about this problem. Here is a link to read some of
the news group posts that pertain to this issue on Google (there are
hundreds of posts about this issue occurring in several different versions
of MS Money):
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=money+missing+OR+vanish+OR+disappear+payee&btnG=Google+Search
I really like the MS Money product and I have been using it for years.
Please help me and the rest of your Money products users to get this issue
fixed. I will cooperate in any way you need. If you need a copy of my
Money file to dissect, I would be happy to provide it. My MS Money file was
originally created by Money 2000 Standard, then it was converted to 2001
Deluxe, and then to 2003 Deluxe. I have tried using the salvage tools
available to fix the problem, but they do not work for this issue. I have
even used the latest salvage utility that is downloadable from the Microsoft
Support Website; it does nothing to remedy the missing payees problem.

have posted about this exact problem: (I DID NOT include this e-mail list

Odd problem with electronic payment in Money 2003.
I have a problem with one electronic payee where I send the payment, but
instead of putting the little envelope with the lightening bolt in the !
column in the account register, Money puts an E in the C column. The payment
does get made, but when it comes back from my bank, the entry in the account
register doesn't get matched up, so I end up having to delete the payment
with
the E in the C column. It comes back from my bank with the same payee name,
so I don't think it is a matching issue. I have many other electronic
payments that all
work fine.
I even deleted all the payee information and reentered it all and this is
still happening. It is not a big problem, but it is annoying.

Recurring inter-account transfers in Bills & Deposits
I've been running Money 2002 on a Windows 2000 Pro O/S for 12 months without
problems and have several inter-account transfers set up as recurring Bills
& Deposits.
Until this month they've worked fine. But they're now shown as a 'payment'
in one account and 'deposit' in the receiving account instead of a transfer
between the two.
Has anyone seen this problem and got any idea how to cure it? I've:
> downloaded most of the 'critical' updates for Windows 2000 Pro - could
one of these be the cause?
> deleted the transfer and reinstated it in Bills & Deposits but with no
success.
> reinstalled Money, again without curing the fault.
Last solution is to download the latest Jet updates for Windows 2000 as
Money seems to use tmp Jet files while open.

WILL GET OUT OF THIS WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT". IF YOU WANT LOTS OF
MONEY, THEN YOU BETTER POST THIS NARRATIVE A LOT!
A little while back, I was browsing some newsgroups and came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "OK, why not
try this if it is a scam I will only lose $6.00.". Anyway, it said that you
send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in
the article. You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the
list at #6, and post the article in some newsgroups(There are thousands) or
e-mail it to some people. No catch, that was it. The main difference
between this system and others is that you have a mailing list of 6 instead
of 5. This means that you average gain will be
approximately 15 times higher!!!
So after talking to a few people, I thought, what have I got to lose except
6 stamps and $6.00 dollars, right?
But like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the
legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post
Office(1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!
I then invested the measly $6.00, and stamps.
Well, GUESS WHAT..... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!
I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another
thought. But the money coming in. In my first week, I made about $36.00
dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00
dollars!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and its still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00
and it's still coming in VERY rapidly!
It's certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the
lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it works....also
make sure you print a copy of this article NOW. So you can get the
information off it as you need it. The process is very simple and consists
of 3 easy steps:
STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST. + your name and address." Now get
6 U.S. $1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE
inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through
the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a
piece of paper stating the above phrase, your
name, and a $1.00 dollar bill. What you are doing is creating a service by
this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
STEP 2:
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

STEP 3:
Now take the number one name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (#6 becomes #5, #5 becomes #4, etc...) and add YOUR name as
#6 on the list.
STEP 4: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close
to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to some newsgroups
(I think there are close to 24,000 newsgroups) and/or e-mail it to some
people. Remember, the more you post, the more money you will make!
Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following:

DIRECTIONS-HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
STEP 1:
You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter, click and hold down
the mouse button. While continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your
cursor to the bottom of this document and over to just after the last
character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire letter
should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down
menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire
letter into the computers memory.
STEP 2:
Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will paste a
copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot(re-number
everyone else's positions), and add yourself in as #6.
Step 3:
Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different sitting, you'll always have this file to go back to.
FOR NETSCAPE USERS:

THAT'S IT! All you have to is jump to different newsgroups and post away,
after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!
**THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!!** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world
within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. box due to the large
amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a
name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it.
**JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part:
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So
then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons who just sent me $1.00 make 200 postings, each with my name at #5
and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00
for me, now those 25 each make 200 posts with my name at #4 and only 5
replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons
turn around and post 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each,
I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of
those 625 persons post 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will
deliver this message to 200 newsgroups
with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will
receive $15,625.00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And
as I said 5 responses are actually VERY LOW! Average are probable 20 to 30!
SO lets put those figures at just 15
responses per person. Here is what you will make:
at #6 $15.00
at #5 $225.00
at #4 $3,375.00
at #3 $50,625.00
at #2 $759,375.00
at #1 #11,390,625.00
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in
the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting
your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember
is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining
the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So
can you afford $6.00 and see if it really
works?? I think so... People Have said, "what if the plan is played out and
no one sends you money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when
there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the
internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, everyday, with
thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY and this will work you just have to be honest. Make sure you
print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everybody that
sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure
everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't
need to cheat the basic idea to make money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please
play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra
CASH!!!!! Tag: Do Yourself a Favor Tag: 144297
