O.k. I have enabled roaming in that I sign in to passport every time I open
the file (just like I did in M2004). However, it still doesn't update the
accounts at startup. In M2004, you started up and, if it was the first
startup after midnight, it would connect to the banks and download
transactions. This morning, I opened M2005, went and did something else for
an hour and it still hadn't updated even though the last time it updated was
yesterday.
I'm loving M2005 so far but wish it was like M2004 in this respect. At the
least, I'd like to figure what M2005 is set to do.
