I seem to have the same problem ... weird. My February budget summary wants
to create new values for expenses that are not directly associated with a
bill. I can't figure out a pattern in how Money 2005 is comming up with the
adjusted values. The "next month" budget amounts are exactly the way I
created them ... ditto with the "last month" amounts. I've used this
product since 1997 and I have seem some pretty strange things. This ranks
towards the top of the list. I'm surprised that more people aren't posting
on this thread.

I'm gonna check the dreaded Microsoft knowledge base. Maybe I'll call
their tech support line if I have a few hours to kill. Lemme know if anyone
solves the mystery.

Can anyone help me fix my February budget in M05? (This is just one of the
many, many, many problems I've encountered.) For some reason, the Feb
report has averaged each of the budget items. By the way, I don't like M05
either. It's really a shame that Microsoft is advancing it's financial
program ideolgy to the exclusion of long-time users who don't subscribe to
that view. I've been using Money from the beginning and before that,
Kiplinger's Managing Your Money. Oh, how I wish MYM was still available:
simple, easy to use, and gave me everything I needed. Now, I'm tempted to
put all my financial data in a spreadsheet(s) and uninstall every reference
to "Microsoft Money". I have been faithful to Money since it's initial
release and have purchased the new version each year thereafter, but that
will all change. Unless some significant program changes are made, I will
never purchase another, nor will I ever recommend it.
