Glad it worked!! I don't take the credit for this solution, however. The
idea was given to me by MSFT tech support many years ago. I still can't
believe they have not fixed this problem. I would be nice to be able to
delete scheduled bills/deposits and really be rid of them

Thanks for your great suggestion! Unfortunately, this workaround has
been blocked in 2006: you can't set a bill to have 0 transactions
remaining. So, the slightly longer version is to set it to have 1
transaction remaining, enter it into the register with an amount of
$0.00, then delete the just-recorded transaction from the register.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I really appreciate your brilliant solution. Thanks again.

Generally speaking it is dangerous to delete scheduled bills or deposits
because they keep coming back to haunt you. This is a bug in Money 2002,
which I use, and apparently it still exists in newer versions even though I
reported the bug in 2002 and complained every year thereafter to MSFT. (I
have never had a problem skipping a bill however.)

The better method of getting rid of a scheduled bill/deposit is to use the
"this series will end at some point in time" check box in the Edit dialog.
Pick a date in the prior year to end the series if the bill goes back that
far. I like to use 12/31/ of the prior year. Type 0 for Number of
transactions remaining and conform the Next due date with the Date of final
transaction. This method will get rid of old scheduled bills and you do not
need file repair or export/import unless you have a very old file and lots
of other problems.

I've discovered that they'll reappear not only when Money is reopened,
but sometimes while it's still open, after some trigger I haven't yet
pinpointed. It often takes ten minutes or so.

I'm experiencing a bug and wondering if anybody else has seen this, and
if so, what their solution was. This is with Money 2006 Deluxe.

If I skip or delete a regularly scheduled bill, it will reappear the
next time Money is opened. This is happening with a half dozen of my
bills.

I've tried both of the repair options to no avail. And because I have
about 34 accounts going back many years, I really don't want to go
through Export/New/Import.
