Hi Deryn,

Just happened to me with exact symptoms... I tried msmoney -s and it worked.

If you haven't done so already, try that mode of repair rather than the menu
item.

No, I have been using the full version for a month or so. I tried repair
last night and that seemed to solve the problem for now.

Curious, but are you using the trial version of Money as Deryn was?

I am in a similar situation. I have been a Money power user since v2. three
days ago my transaction mapping stopped showing me this months open
transactions. money will only allow me to match with transactions 30 days in
the future. I cant even see any others.

This is weird.

Any help would be appreciated

I am in the exact situation as "Deryn". I've used Money and done
transaction matching for years. Upgraded to MS Money 2006 Deluxe a few weeks
ago. Transaction matching was working fine, then all of a sudden, no
matches. I've tied to match the transactions manually, and only bills to be
paid in the future show up as options to match against. I've tried all the
same things as "Deryn" with no success (restore, repair). The only thing
that I changed was the date range. I was trying to reduce the number of
false matches and changed the range from 60 to 30, and all of a sudden no
more matches anymore. Tried changing it back -- even changed it to 365 --
still no matches.

If anyone has any idea where to go from here, it would be much appreciated.
I have other features that have just stopped working in 2006 and am
beginning to get frustrated with MS.

Thanks,
ladi

Hi Deryn,

I'm sorry... the only time I've seen the "Done" button not work is when I'm
matching something in the upcoming bills. The only time I've seen "Don't
match these transactions" not work is when Money makes it look like it
matched a transaction but in reality isn't as shown by a later screen. And
the one time I had only future transactions show up in a match is before I
did a repair - and then it worked. Your problem appears to be different...

I should say that I'm not mad at you guys who are trying to help me--I
appreciate it. I'm just mad at Microsoft right now but I can't gripe
at them. Well, I could, but they wouldn't care.

Oy, you guys, I've been matching transactions since I first started
using Money several years ago. I am familiar with the process. I'm
not doing anything different. My problem is that suddenly it is not
working, that transactions that usually would be there are not, and
also, separately, I can't click the "Done" button when I try to
unmatch. It didn't happen when I loaded the '06 trial--maybe a couple
of weeks after.

I'm so ticked off at this point I'm thinking of moving to Quicken. It
seems like I get screwed every time I download a Money trial. Happened
to me with the '04 version, and I skipped the '05 version because I
didn't want to deal with all this crap.

I'm getting that no one has any idea why this would suddenly happen.

I have found that I can match against up coming transactions that are in
the bill pay without first posting. Although I often have to hit change
to get it to do the match against the one I want as the amounts are
wildly different. In the case of bills that I have changed to the
correct amounts in the bill pay, it pulls them out and matches them.

Tried a repair, didn't work. Tried restoring my backup, didn't work.

I'm not sure how your first suggestion applies, as I am referring to
existing (automatic) incorrect matches of past transactions that I am
trying to undo by selecting "Don't match these transactions". The
problem is, the "Done" button just doesn't work.

Also, a separate (but related?) problem is that _no_ past transactions
(already posted to my register) seem to appear in the transaction list
as selections to match. They're not grayed out, they're just not
there.

I did not do anything to this file or my computer except download Money
updates (which I do every day) between when it was working and when it
was not.

Please help--I can't even turn off the matching and this is screwing me
up big-time.

For the first problem, apparently matches against transactions that are
upcoming don't seem to work... you need to post them in your register first
before matching.

For the second problem, try doing a repair...

Yesterday, working...today, not so much.

Today, when I try to unmatch a transaction, I can get to the "Change
transaction matching" screen, but when I select "Don't match these
transactions" and click "Done", nothing happens. The button simply
seems not to work. When I click "Cancel", I am returned to the Account
Register.

Or, when I try to match a downloaded transaction, only transactions
past today's date appear. Past transactions in my account register do
not. Oddly enough, if I pick a wrong transaction, the "Done" button
will work, but then I can't unmatch this incorrect match because, see
above.

Originally, I was using the '06 preview. I tried restarting it.
Didn't work. Tried downloading the full (Deluxe) version. Didn't
work. Tried restarting my computer. Didn't work. Using XP Home and
IE6 SP2.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,

D. K. Kurtz
