    - 2004 getting new capabilities Last week when I did my morning "Internet Update" Microsoft Money 2004 updated my Fleet/BOA accts for the first time. This morning MBNA was brought up to date automatically. It seems the new scrape functionality that 2005 offers is coming online for 2004. Anyone else have this happen?

    - Giving up on 2005 05 messed everything up, spent over a week w/tech support and still does not work right--duplicate accounts,no E-pay, false accounts in bill-pay ect..... spent last night reinstalling 2004 and repairing data. Support promised answers within 72 hrs. but never called back. Then again in 24 hrs. never happened. 2003 and 2004 worked great. Tech support seemed stumped on these issues Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 179000

    - MS Money 2005/Quicken 2005 -> GnuCash instead ?? Since MS Money 2005 so far has been a wash, as well as Quicken 2005, it's either stick to 2004, or wait for 2006 so far for me. :P Meantime, has anybody any experiences on switching to something like GnuCash which does not suffer from marketingitis, and is built by real programmers? From what I can tell, GnuCash doesn't have all the pretty bells and whistles like direct online-download, but has most of the basic double-entry/qif-ofx import abilities plus possibly better reporting/graphing abilities, with ability to access from multiple computers or something such due to a real SQL backend. Something to look at that seems stable and predictable, unlike Quicken or Money. Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178996

    - How to stop Money 2005 auto updating share prices? I am an Australian user of Money 2005. I recently upgraded from Money 2004. In Money 2004 I could stop the share price updating automatically, but in Money 2005 I cannot. Australian share prices are 24 hrs old when updated with Money's live update. I usually just do a manual share price update to get an idea of where my investments are at. In Money 2005, you can manually update, but everytime you browse through sections of your portfolio manager it wants to update prices again (which revert to yesterdays price). Can anyone help me stop automatic updates, whilst still retaining the other online features of Money 2005? Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178995

    - Upgrading 2005 from 2004 This is a message for ya'll trying to convert that file from 2004 to the new "improved" 2005. This worked for me running a XP SP2 laptop with 2 users. First uninstall 2005. Reinstall 2004. Under the file menu you will find "repair money File". Click on that and do a standard repair. Reinstall 2005. Use the new repaired file and it works. I noticed that the repaired file was half the size of the old file. It apparently had a record file error. Hope this helps ya'll out. Now to find out what new problems I will find.

    - Recurring Deposits Help I have a recurring deposit of a paycheck that will be a certain amount for the next 3 months, until the end of the year. Next year, 2005, since my paycheck will be a different amount, I entered another recurring deposit to start from January 2005 for a monthly frequency. Here is the problem: When I go into the Budget feature in Money 2004, the income section shows two income streams. One for the current recurring deposit until the end of 2004 and the other one I set to start in January 2005 which throws off the income amount that I have to spend. It says that I have way more income than I have. How thought about just waiting until after 2004 to enter the new paycheck amount but that defeats the forecasting feature of Money 2004. I want to be able to forecast future money streams and expenses. How do I enter these differing paycheck amounts in the Bills and Deposits area and how do I "tell" Money that I don't want two paychecks and to start the new paycheck amount in 2005? Thank you very much! - Lawrence Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178960

    - Problem with decimals when downloading statements Hi, I have been using Money 2004 and now upgraded to Trial 2005. When I download a statement from American Express atleast I get mismatch on transactions because the downloaded transactions comes in without decimals. Two examples 35.20 becomes 35 and 9.50 becomes 9 this causes a problem because these transactions will not match. Any good idea how to solve these problems?

    - Not so advanced budget/reports feature in 2005 I recently upgraded to Money 2005 small business from the 2004 version in the hopes it would fix problems I have had with the budget and reports. My budget is set in stone and approved once a year for my non-profit organization. When I enter the budget into Money, my recurring bills and deposits show up in my budget and I can't get rid of them!!! Since my recurring bill/deposits may not exactly match my yearly budget, my budget is always way off. I have to calculate it by hand whenever I have to do a report. I've always considered Microsoft Money's implementation of the budget and report customization to be pretty basic in functionality. So when I heard that the 2005 version had an "advanced" budget and report feature, I was excited. What a big disappointment. It turns out that Microsoft decided their budget/reports wasn't dumb enough so they created the "essential" budget and reports. The "advanced" version is what we already had in Money 2004. I'm tired of calculating my budget by hand. I'm tired of generating several reports, exporting them to excel, then combining them into a report I can use. I'm tired of Money not having the ability to scale a report to fit on one page. I've been a loyal customer so far but I've had it. I just ordered the free-trial version of QuickBooks.

    - 2005 SB: Payment for invoices not showing as income in reports? I just upgraded to 2005 and I am not impressed so far. For some reason downloaded transactions cannot be marked as "Payment for Invoice", you have to create a new transaction to get it to popup the wizard to allocate to various invoices. My most pressing issue is that when I run a report, everything I marked as "Payment for Invoice" isn't showing up as income. Does anyone know a work around?!

    - 2005 upgrade and account merge issues I guess I am just posting a "me too" post about how dissapointed I am with Money 2005. My problem is that using the new online account from yodlee and attempting to merge accounts is totally broken. It duplicates the past month of transactions again every time I try and there is no way to match transactions, I either delete the hand entered ones and throw off all my other accounts because of tranfers or I delete the automatically downloaded ones and they come back each time I open money. Has anyone sucessfully upgraded existing active accounts with transfers and started using yodlee? What was your method? Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178924

    - Problem with Budgets after upgrading to Money 2005 I have been using Money for years. I was on the 2004 version and upgraded to 2005. I wanted to see what essential budgets were like, so I changed the budgeting from advanced to essential. I decided that I wanted to go back to advanced, but it won't let me. I get an hour glass like it is doing something, but then nothing happens. I don't get an error message or anything, but the budget just stays as essential. Anybody else run into this? If so, is there a fix?? Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178921

    - Money 2005 slow to enter transactions I just upgraded to Money 2005 and I'm noticing that transactions that have been downloaded from the web, instead of manually entered, take a long time to save after editting. I usually manually enter them, then let the downloads reconcile, but a few escape me now and then. These transactions take forever to "enter" after I edit the categories, payess, etc. Can someone explain why this is? In previous versions, one could disable feedback settings, but I cannot locate that setting in Money 2005. Anyone have any suggestions? I've had other issues with this newest version and, after disabling most of the new features, I'm trying to justify this software investment. But, if I cannot speed up these modified transactions, I too will join the long list of seasoned Money users who have migrated backward to previous versions.

    - Upgrading to Money 2005 Beware! I am a 3 year user of Money 2003 and Money2004 Small Business. Although I have had minor problems, these products have been very stable and have greatly enhanced my financial control. So I was very surprised to find that MIcrosoft put out Money 2005 in its current state. I was receiving sales hints every time I ran 2004 and so I upgraded yesterday. What a mistake! The product has changed so much that nothing went smoothly and all of my records , accounts and history were messed up. Their program just quit several times on me without aborting messages - it just disappeared and I had to launch it again. It pushes you hard to put out all of your information on the MSN internet site even if you don't want to. It reconfigures you online access to your accounts and creates new accounts at banks which you may have previously told it to leave alone. There does not seem to be the same type of detail configuration possible. Since I have other accounts that I manage for children that I don't want to see in my financial statement this is a problem. If you try to delete these new accounts it added, it wants to delete all of your accounts at that bank. This product has not advanced that state of control you have, it has reduced it. I have wasted my upgrade fee on this one and will now be looking at other alternatives. Too bad - I really liked the product through 2004 versions. I removed the product and re-installed Money 2004. Thank goodness I had a backup of my data because 2005 also changes the file structures. Be careful if you try this upgrade. Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178911

    - M2004 - cashflow / budget issue - can't pick account for budget expenses Hi There I've recently upgraded to Money 2004. Apart from the fact it has been a torturous 3 day process I think I've now got things working but I do have a question: In the cashflow section I can watch the money going into and out of my accounts based on what I've budgeted. Problem is M2004 seems to think that *all* the Money comes and goes out of one account (my checking account) when the reality is that some expenses I've budgeted come out of other accounts. The only time this doesn't happen is when I make something a Bill - then I can pick the account it comes out of, but a lot of my expenses aren't *Bills* per se e.g. I go to rock climbing at a local rocknasieum some weeks which I want to account for but is not a regular "bill". Any ideas on this - otherwise the cashflow feature seems to be pretty much a waste of time! Thanks, Bill. Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178876

    - Mystery Account Merge Result Hello, I;ve setup an account with the bank for online updates and billpaying, after I connect I seem to have two of the same accounts Checking and Checking #2. They are the same and seem to be updating. some of the catagories for the Checking 2 are different the Checking one for the same transactions. I tried to delete it but it will take my Credit card account that I hold at the same bank with it. So I tried to close it. But I see that in the budget area the Checking 2 transaction that have different catagories screw up the budget, for example Checking 2 has my deposits as Bank Charges so now on my budget graphs I have no income but lot's of Bank Charges. I tried to merge the accounts, In the account page niether account shows up as an account that can be merged. Any ideas Thanks Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178872

    - budget/bills issues in 2005 Has anyone experienced the following problem? I recently upgraded from 2003 to 2005 and the recurring bills in the budget summary appear to be doubled, sometimes tripled in amounts for the current month and the next month. I have tried recreating a new budget and recreating every recurring bill ... with the same result. The only thing that works is assigning old transactions to a bogus category, deleting the category from the budget, then recreating a new recurring bill with the flushed out "new" catagory ... I got this from the Microsoft Knowledge Base. If this is this the only feasible work around I might as well create an entirely new file. I hate to archive the last 10 months of data for the sake of being able to have a working budget. Maybe I'm overlooking a simple solution. If anyone out there could help I'd be tremendously grateful Mike T. Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178865

    - Return Money 2005 -> Per Microsoft Support 'It's Yodlee's Fault' I have been fighting with Money 2005 for over 2 weeks now. Since all the new online services in it come from a company called Yodlee, Microsoft is pawning off all online issues on them saying that they do not know when they will be resolved since it involves a third-party. I contacted Yodlee, was able to get in contact with the Vice President of Marketing and was told that they cannot comment on "co-branded" software and that "all support would have to come through [Microsoft]." That took me back to MS and then the guy I was working with told me that I should just get my money back. I will say that after being a money user for 4 years now I will be switching to something else. I think an abacus and a paper ledger would be more reliable then MS Money 2005. <My name is Mike and I approve this message!> Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178851

Would someone be kind enough to summarize what problems have come up with Money05 so I can assess if I want to upgrade or not. Thanks Mike... Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178824

    - Can't cancel Billpay-> can't remove MSNMoney data I'm trying to 'start from zero' on the whole money2005/MSNMoney/Billpay sync thing. I disabled msn sync in money2005, removed money2005 data from msn, and cancelled my billpay account 4 days ago. But still, when I try to use the 'Remove my MSN Money data' settings tool, it says i need to cancel billpay first. Also, I still see old billpay details and account in msn money home page. Support (email, online, phone, msn, checkfree) is entirely useless. Maybe i should start over with a new passport. Or maybe i should give up on the idea that it's possible to achieve accurate billpay/msn/money2005 synchronization. Tag: 2005 a disaster Tag: 178821

I've been a Money cusomer since 2003, and I have to say this upgrade is
unusable, at least for me. It has created new accounts, and screwed up my
ability to use Bill Pay, and a long time with customer service resolved
nothing. Back to 2004.

As a Money customer since 1993, and one who doesn't use the ebanking stuff,
I found it usable but entirely unnecessary and unsatisfactory.

Are you exercising the money back guarantee?

I'm with you guys on this one. I've worked with M05 Support for over a
month, and it still does not work right. No one seems to know how to fix our
problems. The only way that I've found to make M05 work is to start from
scratch. with no history, no bills, Completely start a new file, just like a
new user. This is not an acceptable software product anymore.
