There was and I believe still is a bug in the Portfolio Performance
Report when displayed on the homepage which causes the program to
crash.

Thanks all for the help!

I ran the salv.exe from the 2005 version (didn't know it was there)--and it
fixed a minor problem in the file--but it still hung.

I played around for a while, and discovered it would open and stay open when
off-line. I then pulled off a bunch of the reports on my home page, closed
and backed-up to a new location. Then re-opened, and it worked.

I'm not sure what fixed it, but getting the file thru the new salv at least
let me keep Money open long enough to made some setting changes.

Anyhow, I seem to be up and running and only missing the last hour or two of
the work I did.

I really appreciate your help.

The Passport is a type of Passport. In order to create a no-Passport
new file in Money 2005, you have to click Decline.

If you want to remove the Passport from a file you may have to turn
off background banking at
Tools-> Settings-> AccessYourMoneyDataOnTheWeb and then
File-> PasswordManager you can choose to remove your Passport. To
remove a conventional password, see File-> PasswordManager.

To run a little newer of salv.exe on your file while in Money 2005,
you can click File-> RepairMoney file.

I would guess it is for the Passport.

You can also run that newer version of Salv.exe from C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Money 2005\MNYCoreFiles, or whatever your install
folder is named.

Try the repair options on the File-> menu - it's a more up to date salvage
utility than the one on the MS website. In addition, check you have the 1105
version of Money by looking at help-> about, the version number will be
14.0.something.1105

I am using Money 2005 on XP Home, SP2. Upgrading from 2002, which I used
for years was a huge mistake--but I'm here now.

Last evening, I spent about 6 hours updating my investment accounts in
MSM05. I saved a back-up once during the process, since some months before,
the program crashed on me and corrupted the data file. Well, it happened
again--the program crashed-- that is, suddenly the Money screen went away
and the program was no longer running. I recovered from the back-up I made
earlier that evening--for a short time, then it crashed again. This time,
that back-up must also have been corrupted, since every time I launch money,
it comes up for about a minute, then closes.

I went to MS support site, and discovered a "salvage" program designed to
attempt to restore corrupt files. I downloaded it, and attempted to run it.
But before it will run, it asks for the Password of the Money File. What
password? The only password I ever recall entering for Money is my MSN
Passport e-mail and password. When I try that, it rejects it. I've tried
everyother password I've ever used, and it doesn't accept them.

To see if I was somehow missing a setting for password, I launced money and
clicked on New in the file menu. I created a new dummy file (it forced me
to log into Passport first)--but never asked for a Money file password.
Attempting to run the salvage routine on the dummy file led to the same
issue--it demands a password, and I have no idea what it wants, since I
didn't create a password for the dummy file.

So bottom line questions:
1. Assuming I have a corrupt file--how do I recover it?
2. What password is the salvage routine looking for--and how do I retreive
it if it generated by the Money software?
3. I'm open to any other suggestions to resolve the problem.

BTW, when MSM05 crashed on me several months ago, I spent numerous hours on
the phone with MS Support--and the password issue arose then too.
Eventually, I restored from floppy disks--which is what I'll do here as a
last resort.

Thanks in advance for your help!
