Thank you Cal! I have a backup that isonly a couple weeks old, but wanted to
avoid any possible duplicate Bills.

Also, if I try to turn Online Services off for this account it causes Money to lock up.

Hello Everyone,

I recently ran into a problem using Money 2005. I'll trace my steps as closely as possible to the last time I successfully used the product.

2/01/2005 I synchronized my account with my bank who has Direct Banking and Bill payment (JP Morgan Chase) and received no errors.
2/03/2005 I opened my money file and decided to test a feature so I opened a new blank file (which closed the original file).
When creating the new file I believe that I may have used my .net passport user account and password when creating the file, as I failed to see the option to not use a password with the file.
Same day I synch my account with the new file and received the update with no error.
I then opened my original file without closing Money between instances, I was not prompted for a password as I have never set this file up with a local password.
I tried to synch my original file with the bank and I get the error "There is an online transaction in progress". Then a dialog that reports "update not completed" with a "Learn More" link. When I click on the link it reports to me that "Your last call encountered an error" and another bullet reads "Your account information is being updated, which may take a few minutes. If this message appears for more than five minutes, try again."

I am not sure why the update is stuck, but in a new account, it does not have a problem synching. Merging the accounts caused the bills to duplicate themselves so this is not a desirable solution. (Is there a way to unmerge accounts?)

Is there a way to stop this synchronization? Is the problem related to ..net (I wouldn't think so because it doesn't fail in another account.)

I appreciate any assistance I can get on this one.

Thank You,
Greg

Before closing Money again, make extra copies of your .mny files and
..mbf files in a different folder.

Before closing Money again, set your test file to not automatically
make a backup. That way you avoid the danger of overwriting your
backs.

Speaking of backups, consider your backup strategy.
