Money Updates seems to be working again (M04)! How about for you Douglas?

Douglas,

I wouldn't be so sure they are "working" even with the
date updating. I had suppressed background banking after
the passport issue of July/August (even though I wasn't
impacted) and had been periodically doing manual Money
Updates.

However, these haven't succeeded for me since 8/28 and now
the Reminder flag has been set to prompt me to do an
update. Even though the date changes to today's date, the
Reminder flag is not reset (meaning the update did not
complete successfully, I suppose).

Regards,
JB

Yes, this problem is WIDESPREAD. No doubt you are either getting a message
in your "Call Summary" that either says "Money experienced an error
downloading the file SMRTINET.INI" or " An unknown error has occurred. If
the problem persists, reinstall Money from the original installation disk"
I did so and nothing changed. Since I maintain three separate .mny files,
it is occurring on Money updates with all three files, and this same problem
is occurring on many different computers with different versions of Money (I
have Money 2003 Deluxe and Business), you can rest assured that the problem
is with the download from Microsoft itself--it is not a problem with your
computer, your version of Money, or your particular installation of Money.

By the way, the updates are "working", it's just that an error is occurring
of which you are being informed; if they weren't, your Money program
wouldn't be informing you that updates were received as of today's date.

So far, I have read about this problem on Money 2004 Deluxe, also. It is
probably occurring on many if not most versions.
