Investments show incorrect cash balances after conversion to 2005

#3 04-01-2005, 07:37 PM

I have this same problem. Doing a salvage/repair did not help. I fixed them
all manually and they came back after I exited/restarted the program. It
affects some dividends and some sales, but not all. It always seems to
reduce the total account value to about the same amount, which suggests that
those transactions are somehow corrupt, although super salvage reports no
errors in the file. Does anyone have any more info on this? It seems to be
a relatively common bug....

TIA,
Brian

Try opening Money with Start-> Run and entering
"msmoney -s" without the quotes into the box.

I am also having the same problem (MNY 2003 Deluxe). I recently installed
on a new computer and restored my backup. All balances on all my acounts
show the same huge negative balance, although when I look at them
individually, the local balance and downloaded balance are correct. Has
anyone found an answer yet?

I don't have an answer -- but also have the same problem. It did not do it
for all Buys and Sells -- just a few for a few investments. I have found
ways to change them to sells -- but after some time they revert to payments
rather than deposits.

If you have any suggestions on how to resolve the issue -- I'd love to hear
them. I have not seen any replies to this post -- so please point me to any
other Q&A that may address this issue.

I installed Money 2005 Deluxe about a month ago without any problems...or so
I thought. While balancing my investments, I noticed that all investment
account's cash balances show a substantial negative balance. It appears that
during the conversion process, Money 2005 changed stock sells from depositing
the associated cash to having made a cash payment instead. Over time this
has created a greatly negative balance since both buys and sells are
subtracting from the bottom line in the cash ending balance. Does anybody
have any ideas on how to correct this?
