I had a little better luck than you. I was able to get the Budget screen
back by doing a Level 2 repair on my Money file. This is good, because the
last backup I have is before I did all the manual budget fixes in the first
place and a lot of dividend fixes from my original 2003 import.

I really hate this budget though. I can't seem to get an additioanl $3000
that it's adding over the next couple months for "Debt". Plus I'm sure this
is going to follow month to month like the payroll error did. And why in the
world does the Budget recogonize my mortage loan, but not my car loan?

This is a sh#tty bug. Last night I opened up a file, did "screen captures"
and had to start from scratch with a new money file. I had the same thing.
The "budget" function wouldn't appear. Hit the button--and it won't come
up--it just stays on planning, taxes, etc--where you lat were. I deleted a
bill--and all bills disappeared....I guess they should have signed us all up
as beta testers--cause that's what this is--a beta test.

Ok now I'm at the point that I'm receiving errors and crashs from MS Money
2005 (Deluxe/Business) and I hope my data isn't corrupted.

I spent hours last night manually fixing the budget bug where budget amounts
would be double/triple their original value (of course, they were payroll
categories). I put all the bad data in a category called
"_BudgetErrorsDoNotDelete". Today I played with the debt reduction planner
and it created a budget entry that was not tied to my recurring bill payment.
I ended up deleting it, but my budget kept on giving this outrageous value
for the "Debt" group for the current and next month. I decided to delete my
recurring bill, which then caused my Budget screen not to show but instead I
got "This operation cannot be performed." caught in an infinite loop. I had
to kill Money and start it up again. When I did the Budget screen does not
show up anymore, I get kicked back to the screen I was originally on. Also
there is this blan entry in the "Bills & Deposits" screen.

I tried to re-create the Bill, but it doesn't help.

I know the Budget was broken in the first place. But I was still going to
work around it. I need to get this resolved.
