Sid,

When you sign into your Money file, fill in your password and choose "Work offline" then Next
This works well in my particular situation.

Hope this helps.

If you would inform the MSN people of this problem and your obvious
solution, maybe they would pull some strings to get it fixed.

I have the same issue, and decided it was easier to stop using MSN as my
portal.

Carl, I see you're an MVP. This issue is beyond my comprehension that this
has not been fixed in Money 2006. I use MSN as my home portal by signing in
with my passport. And yet, because I sign in with Money 2005 - and now
2006 - I have to re-sign in everytime I go to my home portal, which is
several times a day. (That's why it's my home portal.) I sucked it up and
did this for a full year, always hoping this would be corrected in 2005. But
now, it's Money 2006 and it's still doing it. AGGRAVATING!

This is truly awful and upsetting. Here's what I'd like to know. Is this
considered a bug that just doesn't merit fixing? Or is it by design that
Microsoft signs you out of MSN when signing in with Money and the
implementation will not be changed? What is an official answer from
Microsoft as to this issue? I'd like to know becasue I'm tired of waiting
for a fix if it's never coming.

This issue has been posted on this newsgroup for over a year now. I posted
one of them last October myself. Workarounds such as the one you proposed
are insufficient answers to this question - although I respect and applaud
you for offering them up. (I expect to be able to use the passport features
in Money and automatically download my financial data - this is one of the
main features of having Money.)

It's especially outrageous that this involves all Microsoft tehnologies and
that it used to work before the 2005 debacle (not to mention other things
like correctly integrated MSN BillPay that stopped working properly in
2005).

Sorry about the rant, but being a long time satisfied Money user and going
through the 2005 disaster - and that's what that product was for me - and
seeing so far no improvement on issues such as this one in 2006 is very
discouraging.

If you have any official information from Microsoft about this issue, it
would be appreciated.
