I had this exact same problem with M04 last year. I called MS
on it. What was happening was that there was a transaction that
I had deleted but somehow it didn't get fully deleted. (Don't ask
me how that works.)

In any case, to fix it, what the Tech Support guy had me do was the
following:

1) Backup my current file and put it somewhere safe
2) Do File-> Export using Loose QIF of the account in question.
3) Delete the account in questsion
4) Create a new account (to replace the deleted account)
5) Import the account transactions from the QIF file.

When I did this, all of the balances started matching. I then had to
go through all of the transactions to find the one that was wrong.
In my case, it was pretty easy because it was only one transaction
that was wrong. So I could figure out what the amount of that
transaction was by subtracting what the balance showed from what
it was supposed to show and then looking for all transactions
with that amount. Once I found the transaction, I deleted it.
And that time, the transcation was "fully" deleted so that all of
my balances were back to being correct.

The bottom of register for Money 2004 show two balances. So in your
case, you are saying they are both the same, I guess.

Do File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair

No future tranactions show up in the register.

The correct balance shows in the register.
The wrong balance when the account is listed under "account listing"

No, everything in the register appears to be fine. Everything has
reconciled correctly.

Before installing M05 to fix **anything**, please do your own due diligence.
For the results of mine, see http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm.

When you sort by date are there future-dated transactions that would
explain it? Money 2004 has a Today's balance in the register that
you may be looking at.

Does Money 2004 register gives different balance when
the view is changed to show only unreconciled transactions or
in some other way?

First, try the simple thing:

File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair

Then go to

Perhaps. It should if the problem is a hidden transaction as
addressed in Method 3 of the above cited KB article. You can install
the trial without uninstalling Money 2004.

I am running Microsoft Money 2004 on a PC running Windows 2000.

About a month ago, I started noticing a problem with the balance of my
checking account that appears on all of the summary screens. The
balance is always less than what is should be. I have 4-5 other
account which all appear fine.

The balance is correct when I look at the detailed listing of the
transactions of that account.

All of my other accounts, investments, bills, etc are working fine but
only problem is the account balance for the one account. All my
accounts are correctly downloading statements from the internet.

My theorey is somewhere there is a date setting for that account that
is a few months ahead of where it needs to be and it is subtracting the
future bills out of the balance. This is the only account linked to
bills on the system.

Anyone have any suggestions? I have tried using the repair feature on
the program with no luck. I have also backed up my data and
reinstalled the program but no change.

Would upgrading to the 2005 version of the software help?
Thanks for the assistance
