Nor does it seem to work for INCOME categories either.
I'm having a very similar problem with a ghost paycheck
series that I deleted without officially ending the
series.

The workaround doesn't work for me b/c whenever I attempt
to add a new paycheck to my budget, it automatically
picks up the old undeleted "ghost" paychecks as well.

These all seem to be various instantiations of the bug
that Ricky (ricky[at]nospam-calebscreek.com) documented in
his 8/3/04 "Budget Bug?" e-mail. Does anyone know when
Msft plans to fix this issue (or if it has been fixed in
M2005)?

thanks
Buzz

You can't. It's a special category outside your control.

Yes, but Money costs me about $25/year. If there are a few weaknesses, I'm
not too dissatisfied. Money takes care of all the transaction records and
aggregates them by category. Excel allows me more flexibility in dealing
with the summary data.

Technically you're supposed to reallocate funds to change the current period

The workaround does not seem to work for the category DEBT.

Any ideas how to get it out of there?

You are doing it correctly. It does what you say. That's why I export my
annual budget to an Excel spreadsheet at the beginning of the year, then
update it ~monthly from that month forward.

So how do you make changes to the current budget period?
And creating a new budget affects past months as well
unless I am not creating and saving correctly.

I tried a new budget and lo and behold they are still
showing as doubled in the Debt category which is my
mortgage. I have no debt in my debt planner and I really
don't want it there but I can't seem to change it either.

I did find a work arount in Knowledge base article which
helped for some-#318841 but it wont help with the debt one.

There's a bug that affects the budget when you delete a scheduled payment
model. It deletes it from the scheduled list but leaves it in the budget.
When you recreate the deleted model, it essentially duplicated the old bill
in the budget.

There's a complicated workaround that works, but I don't have the details at
hand. Maybe Dick has it on his FAQ? Or maybe it's in MSKB?

Is the budget amount correct next month? Changes to budget items are made to
the next budget period and not the one in progress. If it's wrong *every*
month, then you might be better off starting a new budget.

Due to errors I have had to delete and renter deposits and
bills but in the budget and in edit budget these amounts
are doubled even though they were deleted???. I tried to
correct these and it won't let me.

For example my mortgage payment is 460.00 but my budget
shows 920.00 every month; when I try to edit it just
bounces me back to the budget.

Any ideas?
