    - Back up I have Money 2000 and it will not let me save my weekly backup to anything other than a Floppy, I would like to save it to a CD-ROM. Does anyone know if 2004 will let this be accomplished. I know I can do it if I want it set up to save it everytime I exit the program, but I don't want that. Thanks.

    - Budget issue w/auto transfer to IRA Greetings, In my budget I set up an expense for "Roth IRA Automatic Transfer" because I transfer an amount monthly from my checking to my Roth IRA. When I put in the checking register to transfer the money, it shows up on my expense record (the page where I see if I have to reallocate funds for going over my pre- set budget limits) under the category "Special" and is listed as "Transfer out of Account" (or something like that.) So it shows I've spent money that was not budgeted, and on the line where I *did* budget the money, it shows I never actually spent it. How do I get this transaction to show up where it needs to (presumable under the budget category "Investment Contribution" as the Roth IRA budgeted expense.) Oh, one more thing. When I put this transaction into my check register, it will only let me transfer the money to Charles Schwab (Contributions) and not directly into the SWMMX cash fund, so I when I go to "buy" more shares of the SWMMX cash fund, it pays for it not out of Contributions, but out of the SWMMX account itself (meaning that account balance goes down and not up.) How can I get this money into the SWMMX fund without a problem? Thanks! Aloha Ange Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147632

    - Trying to transfer data files from Money 3.1 Does anyone know how to transfer files in Money 3.1 to a new version of Money such as Money 2004. Would I have to purchase Money 98 convert one time and then purchase Money 2004 and convert again? My friend has Windows 3.0 and Money 3.1. She has over 10 years of checkbook files. Does this make sense? Please advise. Note: On Money 2004, it states that it does not go back further than Money 98. Thanks!!! Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147631

    - LEARN HOW A 15-YEAR-OLD STUDENT MADE $71,000. WITH ONLY $30 PARENTS OF 15-YEAR-OLD FIND $71,000 HIDDEN IN HIS CLOSET! DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY AND RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. The makers of this program have now automated it. For a fee of only $30 you can get started immediately. Start Making Money within Minutes. Visit: http://explode.to/EasyMoney PARENTS OF 15-YEAR-OLD FIND $71,000 HIDDEN IN HIS CLOSET! Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does. You most likely have just seen this story recently featured on a major nightly news program (USA) 20/20 & Oprah. His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a large brown paper bag that was suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the back of the 15-year-old son's closet. Nothing could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag and found it was full of cash. Five-dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds, all neatly rubber-banded and labeled piles. "My first thought was that he had robbed a bank," says the 41-year-old woman. "There was over $71,000 in that bag - that's more than my husband earns in a year." The woman immediately called her husband at the car dealership where he worked to tell him what she had discovered. He came home right away and they drove together to the boy's school and picked him up. Little did they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking than actually finding it in the closet. As it turns out, the boy had been sending out, via e-mail, a type of "report" to e-mail addresses that he obtained off the Internet. Every day after school for the past 2 months, he had been doing this right on his computer in his bedroom. "I just got the e-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my name on it like the instructions said and I started sending it out," says the clever 15-year-old. The e-mail letter listed 5 addresses and contained instructions to send one $5 bill to each person on the list, then delete the address at the top and move the other addresses down, and finally to add your name to the top of the list. The letter goes on to state that you would receive several thousand dollars in five-dollar bills within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your name at the top of the 5-addressee list. "I get junk e-mail all the time- and really did not think it was going to work." the boy continues. Within the first few days of sending out the e-mail- the post office box that his parents had gotten him for his video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up with not magazines, but envelopes containing $5 bills. "About a week later I rode my bike down to the post office and my box had one magazine and about 300 envelopes stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said I had to go up to the post office counter. So thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)." He goes on- "I went up to the counter and they had a whole box of more mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack because I could not carry it all. " Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the e-mail. "The money just kept coming in and I just kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I barely had time for my homework." He had also been riding his bike to several of the banks in his area and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties, fifties, and hundreds. "I didn't want the banks to get suspicious, so I kept riding to different banks with like five thousand at a time in my backpack. I would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had sent me in to exchange the money and he was outside waiting for me. One time the lady gave me a really strange look and told me that she would not be able to do it for me and my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode to the next bank down the street (laughs)." Surprisingly, the boy did not have any reason to be afraid. The reporting news team examined and investigated the so-called "chain letter" the boy was sending out and found that it was not a chain letter at all. In fact, it was completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Sections 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal regulations. Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for money received. Now automated for a fee of only $30 you can get started immediately. Money deposited directly into your Storm Pay or Pay Pal account. Start Making Money within Minutes. Visit: http://explode.to/EasyMoney Thanks to the computer age and the Internet!

    - Problem with Asset Accounts Hi I have created several asset accounts for different properties I own.I have also assigned which ever mortgage applies to each one. My question is when you go into each asset and update the price of the house it throws up a few problems. What categories do you assign to it? Is it an income? or is it special? just what is it I see no default categories. I have entered it as an account adjustment! But then I find the second problem whatever you list it a sit shows up in that months income which throws your graphs and reports completely out. Please can anybody tell me the correct way to show this the correct way. -- Cheers Dale Holden Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147615

    - MVP Help Required Hi I have tries adding classifications for some rental properties I own, no problem. My previous way was to enter the details as follows From: ABC Rental Agency Category: Split /Multiple Categories (In this area I would have several items listed on my statement from ABC Rental Agency e.g.: Rental Income , Repairs, Management Fess etc etc) The only problem with this is how do I associate it with a particular property? My method was to put the address in the memo field the only problem with this is you have to remember!! I thought the best way would be to add classification of the different addresses I own, but I have a problem that I cannot enter Split /Multiple Categories anymore. Because in classifications I can only enter one item and I am not able to enter any details under Category: Split /Multiple Categories ??? I now find when I enter a split in categories it will no longer work as it auto adds split categories in the categories field and the new classification field????? If I delete the entry in the classification field it deletes the categories field. Hope this makes sense but its doing my nut in. Please help Dale Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147614

    - payee aggregation and categorization I'm using the trial version of money deluxe 04 and have just gone through the payee list and aggregated multiple listing say a gas station like shell oil, shell tahoe city, shell whatever to all be just Shell. In doing so, I assume that all categorization for each transaction would not be altered if the payee name is changed. For example some of most of these gas purchases would be categorized as automobile: gas but some as vacation: travel. Does this make sense? COuld someone confirm this? thx!

    - Including "special" category transactions in a budget Hello I was wondering if someone could help out with the following: I want to set a limit for the amount of credit card payments in my budget. To do that, I need to specify the category for the transactions that I want to track in the planner. However, when I enter a transaction for a credit card payment into the register, I have to enter it as a "special" transaction (i.e., "Credit Card Payment : MASTER card"), so that it is linked in both "From" and "To" accounts - otherwise, if I assign it to a different category, the budget planner will see it as two separate transactions. The problem is that the budget planner does not allow adding "special" categories - looks like it's only limited to Expenses and Income. Does anyone know how I can get around this problem? Thanks.

    - A few questions from A Quicken Convert... I recently switched over from Quicken to Money 2003 and have a few questions: 1) In reports and summarys (on home screen and Pocket Money for example) it's shows the ending balances rather than the current balances. This is a bit of a pain for me and I was wondering if there is a setting to just get it to display the current balance. 2) Is the a way to change the status of a transaction (cleared, reconciled etc.) other than right clicking it and selecting through the menus? In Quicken you could just click in the 'Clr' field once for 'C' and another time for 'R'. 3) For Pocket Money, it seams to only be pulling in 12 accounts when I have more that I'd like to pull in. Is there any way to up this number or at least choose which ones get sync'ed into the PDA? Thanks in advance. Don Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147602

    - Non-cash, Non-regular Transactions Money 2003 SE V11 I have a need to set up transactions, such as Mileage, to keep track of non-cash activities. I currently handle it by setting up Bills & Deposits split into two transactions totalling $0.00. The first is the Category/Subcategory I want to track and the second is a Category/(Non-Cash Offset Subcategory) that I filter out of all reports. This works ok for me. Example: (meaning 23 miles traveled) Mileage:Medical/Dental 23.00 Mileage:Offset Non-cash Transaction -23.00 However, the transaction is not regularly occurring. Yet we are required to have a Next Scheduled Payment Date in Bills & Deposits. This means that I am constantly burdened with the "This transaction is xx days overdue..." message. I have many non-cash transactions to keep track of, so setting the non-regular frequencies and/or skipping them is burdensome. Is there a way to set a generic transaction that I can invoke only when necessary, without having to deal with the date? Thanks for your time on this.

    - Used Users' Poem Used Users' Poem (inspired by true experiences with Microsoft products) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- While rushing to client, no moment to spare I hurried to finish a job in despair. Trying to upload some files to my site... Nothing was happening, try as I might! I pounded and shouted and yelled at the screen, But this did not work it to well it would seem. So I thought a download would fix me up quick, But I should have beaten myself with a stick. The ftp download wiped out my accounts, It clobbered my passwords and ate all my fonts. So I used my backup, but when I reboot, My mouse was quite active but keyboard was moot. "Oh my god holy," I think I did scream, Followed by something extremely obscene. I got down on my knees... I crossed my fingers and said "god, OH please!" "If you can see it in your heart!" With my hand on my PC I yelled out..."RESTART!" I then hit the reboot and covered my head, With my favorite blanket to stave off the dread. My PC made sounds that I've not heard before, I got a strong feeling to head for the door. And when I had gained enough courage to see, I saw a blue screen staring right back at me. MICROSOFT ERROR EXCEPTION IS FATAL! I then wished Bill Gates had been killed when pre-natal. And just when I thought all my hope had been shot, A message appeared: "Insert Card Into Slot" I looked in my wallet and took out my Visa, And offered it to my PC on my knees-a. It disappeared quickly and then it popped out, My PC rebooted, and maxed my account. Then what to my wondering eyes should appear, Than a pictures of Gates robbing me peer-to-peer. "Merry Christmas!"

If a FITID value is reused after a year for the same account, will that produce a false match which might cause a transaction to be overwritten? Thanks in advance, Colin Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147468

    - installing money2004 I have an unused version of Money 2002 on my computer. I have purchased Money2004. Should I install the 2004 over the 2002 or should I remove the 2002 before installing the 2004? Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147466

    - Can't download bank transactions If anyone can help with this I would really appreciate it. I have upgraded to a new computer and installed Microsoft Money 2003 on it. I had been running it on my old computer with no problems, and was able to download transactions from banks smoothly. Now, when I try to download transactions, it looks as if it is working (quick download screen from my banks site) but Money doesn't recognize it and when I look for the downloaded file I can't find it. I am running XP. I have Norton security and antivirus installed but disabled it when prompted during my Money install. Suspecting this was still the issue, I changed my Norton options to not restart at start up, and rebooted. Didn't work. Reinstalled Money. Didn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    - US Data conversion to UK Money Just recently moved to the UK from the US and was told by microsoft that I need to use the UK version of Microsoft money to be compatible with the UK cheques. When I installed the UK version it could not read my US files because it said that the "language was incompatible". Does anyone have a suggestion so that I don't need to recreate 10 years of US history just to print a checque in the UK? Tag: merging account from two machines Tag: 147453

If by "account" you mean Money file, name your .mny file differently
from hers. Burn that file onto a CDR and transfer. Or use a network.

If you have no CDR or Network, back up to floppy. When you restore
the backup, do not choose the default location. Browse to your
documents folder and restore to a file named Jerry or some other
unique name.
