Cal--thanks for responding. I'm familiar with that category because it's also
available in my older version as well. Money 2003 allows me to use view "All
Expenses" as a category so I can view it in the "Spending Area" along with
those other categories that I want to monitor. It shows "All Expenses" as a
thermometer along with the budgeted expenses on the home page. I also
noticed that Money 2006 no longer has a module description called "Monthly
Spending Progress." I guess you now call it "Spending Tracker." Still--should
give user the ability to view "All Expenses" as a category instead of having
to use the Income-Expense chart which takes too much screen space. That fact
that Money 2006 users can only configure information on the home page in two
columns make charts like the Income/Expense chart frustrating to view.

Are you using the "Income and expenses" module on your Home page?
Select by clicking "Customize content or layout" in the upper right
corner.

I'm compairing my current version of Money 2003 to the new trial version
(Money 2006). The one thing I noticed is that is that I can't find the place
that allows me to track "All Expenses" and show the thermometer on the home
page. Seems I can only pick one expense category (i.e., Clothes, Bills, Food,
etc.). My old version allows me to pick "All Expenses" (which includes all
budget categories) as a category and show it as a thermometer on the home
page under the "Monthly Spending Progress." Am I missing something here? Do
I have to create a new category called "All Expenses" and select all the
categories that I use? Any ideas? Thanks.
