In M06, there is Tools|Settings|Reports|Reset reports. It suspect it's there
in M05 as well. It says it removes all favorites as well. That seems a bit
harsh. I'd try it to see if there are any choices over that, but I don't
want to lose all of my favorites. Let us know what happens.

Thank you for your suggestions. The repair file did not reset the
customizations for the canned reports. I am not able to access this report
anymore to make any changes to the report parameters. Do you think my best
bet is to call Tech Support, or just forget it?

I'm not so sure it has anything to do with the missing category, per se. I'd
expect that to generate an empty report. But I don't think I've ever tried
one that had previously been set to a now deleted category.

You might be looking at a file corruption problem. I've seen these do what
you describe. Try one of the other reports (say account transactions for all
accounts, all categories) and see what happens.

See also http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104. I think Quick Repair (File
menu) may reset customizations of reports.

Hi Folks,

I have a report problem that I have not been able to solve. I have looked
in the newsgroup's FAQs web page and not found anything related to this
problem.

The problem is that I ran a Transactions by Category report (the canned one,
not a favorite) using a subcategory that I later (after running the report)
deleted. Now when I try to run the Category by Transaction report, the
report starts to open but then immediately encounters an error and takes me
back to the Reports main page. I am guessing that the Transactions by
Category report is trying to open using the deleted subcategory (last used)
and not finding it, generates an error.

These are the things that I have tried to do to fix it, without success:
* re-creating the subcategory (with data) and running the report
* re-installing Money 2005

Does someone have a suggestion? I am new to this newsgroup and appreciate
the time that you all have put into it. I have used Money for many years
and learned lots in reading over the FAQs.
