For the record, for anyone else searching for help because thei
auto-updates are not running on Money 2006, here is how I go
auto-updates to work...simply for the sake of covering all bases, I'
going to exlain all I did from start to finish, so forgive me if thi
is a lengthy post

I am running..
Microsoft Money 200
Windows Server 200

My auto-updates were not working - and by auto-updates, I am talkin
about transactions being automatically downloaded from the banks tha
you've setup under "Manage Online Services". I a
not referring to how stock quotes ge
downloaded automatically when Money 2006 starts. On my computer,
saw that mnybbsvc.exe (Money Background Banking Service) was runnin
all the time, regardless if I was using Money or not. I would thin
that this process would be sufficient for Background Banking to work
but it's not. I went into the Money folder, which is (by default
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles, and is also (b
default) a system folder, so you cannot see it unless you unchec
"Hide protected operating system files" under Folder Options
View tab in My Computer/Windows Explorer. In this folder are tw
files necessary for Background Banking: mnybbsvc.exe (alread
running) and mnybb.exe (never runs on it's own). I decided to star
the mnybb.exe process and just see what happens. That was at 9:3
AM yesterday. After running that process, I did an "Update Now" i
Money at about 10:30 AM yesterday. I closed Money and just left th
computer running with mnybb.exe and mnybbsvc.exe both still running.

Today I turned on Money at about 6:30 PM, to check if the account
have updated. I went to "Read Call Summary Messages" under th
updates menu and, to my disappointment, saw that the time was stil
about 10:30 AM. However, to much my surprise, after looking at it
second time, I saw that it was 10:35 AM today! So, the updates ran
on their own, without my intervention, approximately 24 hours afte
my last "manual" update (by manual I mean when I clicked "updat
now"). I did check just to be sure, and I indeed had ne
transactions downloaded in my credit card and bank accounts

So there you have it. I don't know if you need both mnybb.exe an
mnybbsvc.exe running for it to work, I don't know if you need t
start mnybb.exe and then do a "manual" update in order to start th
scheduling process, or what...that's just what I did, and I'm happ
that it's now working, on its own, so I don't have to run an updat
manually every day, since I've discovered (as many of you may hav
as well) that if you go a few days without running updates, it'
possible that Yodlee will skip from downloading certain transaction
from your bank that are over 2 days old. So hopefully this will fi
both problems

After hours of searching, I never once found a post, help file
knowledge base article, or anything else that explained how to ge
auto-updates to work, so I hope this is helpful to any out there

Have a good one

Have you seen any progress in this? I thought about just starting th
mnybb.exe process manually and letting it run. Does this chang
anything, or are auto-updates still not working? So far I've trie
about every other combination of things (minus leaving money runnin
all day), and auto-updates still do not run at "random interval
throughout the day", despite what all the help files say (and man
MVP's for that matter, though since when does MVP mean you know wha
you're talking about, but enough about that...)

So...any luck?

Thanks :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es either. would i add it
in here somewhere?

I just upgraded from 05 to 06 Deluxe, and realized the reason background
banking never worked was that the mnybb.exe wasn't loaded. Checked all the
startup spots, and darn if the mnybb.exe wasn't in the list at all (and of
course doesn't show as active in Task Manager). This explains why I haven't
had background banking active since Money 04 on my old computer!

Now -- do I just add mnybb.exe in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/etc,etc, or in the
startup programs folder, and do I have to add any command line parameters?
Oh, and what about mnybbsvc.exe? Does that need to be put anywhere?

Thanks in advance!
