You're right, the type is "Bond", sub-type "Treasury Bill"

"security" is not one of the Money types. I suspect you chose
"bond".

Bonds are priced as a percent of par/face value. If you keep that as
a bond, and you paid par, the total is $50,000 and the price is
100(%). Quantity is 50000.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823031 could
also be of interest -- no pun intended.

Default T-Bill recording

I'm using Money2006. I bought $50k worth of 13-week T-Bills.

I defined 13wkTBill as a security.

When I try to enter this transaction, I put in Quantity 1, Price $50,000,
and it calculates the total as $500. ????

If I enter quantity 100, price $50k, then the total is $50k.

I can't figure out the math. Why is the total only 1% of what I'd expect?

Thanks
