It was intended as an FYI to others having less experience with the program
that couldn't understand why it wasn't doing what it was supposed to.

I don't doubt that I've gotten my $25 worth.

Of course it is a flaw in Money. You know and I know that this $25
program has lots of "flaws". We use it because there is alot of GOOD
information it provides as long as we are careful in how we input data and as
long as we have a good financial head on our shoulder in order to 'think'
things out. Your example shows that you have a good sense of finance. Now you
shouldn't waste YOUR time trying to prove out every little thing that Money
should do. You've used this program for long enough to know its problems, but
if you're like me you also can see that today's version has at least some
benefits that earlier versions don't have. I say all this because I do NOT use
the automatic uploads and downloads of data from my various banks and credit
card accounts. I enter the data manually or schedule it. My only upload is now
automatic with Money 2005 and that is investment data which comes in
continously thru my cable DSL. Good luck. Steve

I have a balance on a credit card and have scheduled a minimum monthly
payment for 12 months. I edited the last payment to pay off the balance,
then looked at the cash flow forecast to confirm it would be $0. No matter
whether the last payment is different or not, the last payment of the series
will never show up on the cash flow forecast.

I've done everything necessary to make sure the date range of both the
forecast and the payment schedule are correct. I've even revised the
schedule so there's an extra payment. In that case, the cash flow forecast
looks right but, of course, I don't want to make that extra payment.

This is clearly a flaw. Hope it's not present in M05 but I'll never know. I
won't try an upgrade again until M06.
