M04 Bill Becomes Paycheck and Paycheck Disappears when Date is Cha

#1 01-03-2006, 12:40 PM

Dick,
Thanks for your reassurances and the link to the paycheck morphing
information. (I should have checked the FAQs first!) I couldn't undo the
morph so I just recreated the payment. I'll chalk up the disappearing
paycheck to yet another M04 glitch.

Money is full of little gems like these. I wouldn't further worry it in
terms of periodic voodoo or it being a sign of further corruption.

Under some circumstances--I can't say which ones, just I've had it work
sometimes and not others--you can undo the Paycheck morph by deleting
Paycheck in the category box and then clicking on Split to confirm the
splits are still there. I you see it morph and haven't saved the bill, a
Cancel and then going back into it will sometimes undo the Paycheck
morphing. See also http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=106.

I've not seen the bill disappears when date of series changed behavior, but
I've seen enough of wierdness like this to believe it.

I have been using MS Money since M99 and upgraded to M04 in 2004. A few
quirks, but no big problems. Recently two very strange things happened:
1. When I changed the due date on a yearly recurring paycheck (bonus) the
transaction disappeared entirely. I loaded a backup file and repeated the
action twice with the same result. I finally was able to enter the bonus
with the new date by using "Enter in register" and then changing the date.
2. A recurring bill has suddenly changed to a paycheck. I remember some
posts about this a few years ago, but I couldn't find them.
Are these odd behaviors related? Is my file somehow becoming corrupt? Any
recommendations for fixing the file? Should I be doing some kind of periodic
maintenance?

Thanks!
