I noticed in my budget report it shows that I have a monthly budget for
Automobile: Automobile Insurance of $0.00. However, if you click edit budget
on the common task page and then click next. Then you arrive at the "Enter
Your Expenses" page. I have a budget group called Automobile. If you drill
down and expand Automobile it looks like this:

Automobile: Automobile Insurance
( red arrow) Safeco Insurance
Monthly126.50
Other Expenses for "Automobile: Automobile Insurance"
Monthly 0.00
Subtotal
Monthly 126.50

The Safeco Insurance is telling me of a Bill I have setup monthly on the 6th
for the category of Automobile: Automobile Insurance. And I do not have any
other expenses that would fall under "Other Expenses for "Automobile:
Automobile Insurance"" so I put that at 0.00.

However, in all the budget reports and in the Budget Details portion of the
"Review Your Current Budget" page it shows "Automobile: Automobile Insurance"
having a budget of 0.00.

So, I decided to put in the "Other Expenses for "Automobile: Automobile
Insurance"" an amount of 126.50 as well. Now, the reports show up correctly
now but now my expenses total is twice what it should be.

I desperately need help. The problem all seems to lie in how Microsoft
Money is calculating the total of a categories budget when that budget also
has a regulary scheduled bill associated with it.

Please help!
