The base categories did change in M05. This ****shouldn't**** have effected
categories you'd used in previous versions, but at least one case--it
mangles Food:Groceries and Foodining Out to Groceries and Dining
Out--results in mangled data files across the upgrade. As to this problem
occurring between successive M05 installs, this does seem odd, but there are
LOTS of things about M05 that seem odd.

You can create and modify the categories any way you want.

I would take a look at
Banking-> AccountTools-> Categories&Payees-> Payees to view your
categories and perhaps do some changes.


I am also wondering if
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;889931 would
be of help. I don't think that is what you are describing, but I
thought I would bring it up.

after I set up my bank account on the second install it did default to
essential register, yes. When I originally installed M05 it defaulted to the
advanced register. I have since tried using both types and find that the
category "leisure" with sub cats. still doesn't appear. To me this appears to
be a glitch problem and not a setting problem. But I am no computer expert by
any means and am just making an undeducated guess.

I recently installed M05, then made a few mistakes and decided to uninstal
and reinstall and start fresh. When I reinstalled and I went to assign
categories to my checking account register I noticed that the category
"Leisure" had disappeared. This category previously would be shown with sub
categories of: tapes,cultural events, cds, entertainment etc. Now there is
only the category "Hobbie/Leisure" with no sub cat. Hobbie/Leisure appeared
there even when the "Leisure" category was available before my first
uninstall.

Any suggestions? I really found those sub categories useful. Must be some
glitch or somthing. That is weird how they just dissapper like that.
