Maybe I have not been clear enough. Sorry. I am not trying to manage 38
accounts with Money. I am only trying to manage 2 accounts that are personal
but which happen to be at the same bank as my business accounts.

In Money 2004 I could specify to only download my 2 personal acccounts, I
did nothing with the others. In 2005 if I try to delete the business
accounts it deletes all accounts at that bank. If I mark them as closed
MOney continues to update them just not show them. Why did the system change
from a model of selecting individual accounts and go to where all accounts at
thyat bank are mandatory.

36 business accounts; 4,000 payroll checks every two weeks! Sounds to me
that you are way way outside the Money envelope.

This is a personal accounts program, tweaked a bit for a sole trader.

I have read several reports of the same issue I am having. I am a signer on
multiple accounts at a bank, most of which are commercial accounts. One
writes 4,000 payroll checks every other week. I have 2 personal accounts and
36 business accounts. I do not want money to download the transactions into
my personal money software. I have shown those accounts as closed but Money
'05 continues to download the transactions. I can not delete individual
accounts because it will delete all of them. Money '04 could select accounts
to update. I am too far into this to go back as I did not realize for a
while this was happening and can not go back to '04 and reenter all of my
transactions.

Please listen Microsoft.....THIS IS NUTS. IT IS VERY BAD PROGRAMMING. I
CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE SO UNWILLING TO WRITE THE CODE BETTER. TAKE A
LITTLE MORE TIME AND WRITE THE CODE A LITTLE BETTER. (Yes I was yelling)

I have not downloaded for 2 weeks. It took me 10 minutes to download and my
accounts have been updating for 30 minutes now. The file size has grown
tremendously (TODAY - 93 MEG)and I am sure it will get corrupted again
sometime.

I would love it if anyone else had a fix for this, but I am sure noone will
because microsoft made a bad decision. Before some of you think I am a
Microd=sfot basher I am not. I personally use almost all Microsoft products
at home , even on my mac and have used Money over Quicken since 1998-99 or
so. IN my company we have standardized on mnany MS products.

This is just a bad implimentation and needs to be fixed.
