Yes, the problem is that the Portfolio is not able to back up to the
servers.
Take a look at the Network Status page:
http://money.msn.com/common/networkstatus.asp
in particlular the link to the KB about not being able to save to the
server.

is not saving to server when I exit. When I open it again I have the
generic welcome and all of my data is gone. To get my data back I use
restore backup. My backup files are saved in My Dcocuments, and when I
looked at them I saw that My Portfolio is also backing up My Money 98. This
backup file has a money icon by it. I am having to restore backup every
time I open My Portfolio and I am building a lot of files that contain both
Money 98 and My Portfolio. I guess the real problem is that My Portfolio is
not saving to server when I exit and data is lost.

Paul,

Thanks for the info.

If I understand correctly, prior to "the last several weeks" you only
had portfolio data on MSN Money and you only had data unrelated to your
MSN portfolio in Money 98. However now, the MSN portfolio data is also
in your Money 98 file. Is this right?

If so, are there also new accounts in your Money 98 file that contain
the investments in your portfolio? How do you access this portfolio
data that is now in your Money 98 file? Describe an example Money
session where you view this data.

Also, do you have the same accounts listed in your portfolio on MSN
Money now as you did prior to the last several weeks?

Click on the following link to a Microsoft knowledgebase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;175000

The article mentions that Money accounts that may have been linked to
an MSN portfolio should appear with a Money icon next to the account
name. Do any of the accounts in your MSN Money portfolio have a Money
icon next to them (or any other indication that they are linked to your
Money 98 file)?

J.B. Thanks for response.
1. Microsoft Money 98 standard OEM edition. Version 6.0
2. I go to Money 98 through "my favorites", when I go thru MSN Money page I

login using a passport account.

Paul,

Could we confirm a few things first?

1. With your Money file open, go to the toolbar at the top and click on
"Help". From the Help menu click on "About" or "About Microsoft
Money". What is the precise version information given there?

2. You mentioned in another thread that you obtained a Passport at some
point. Do you login to your Money file using your Passport login?

Post back and let us know. Thanks.

Regards,
JB

Seriously, I was not trying to make a joke. Money 98 pre-dated
Passport. And I did not think that something like what you described
could happen if you did not have a Passport on your file. So I
suspected you had mixed something.

My suspicion was that perhaps it was something like your using Money
2004 on Windows 98. I also suspected that you were actually
referring to your MSN portfolio on moneycentral.msn.com.
