Coming in late -- I've experienced this -- I believe it's called a "busted
view" -- and there's a corrupt transaction somewhere. The trick is to find
it.

These situations always give me such a warm fuzzy feeling about Money's
integrity.

Glad you got your problem resolved.

There is a net worth over time bar graph in 06 monthly reports.

After confirming that net worth over time failed, I isolated a transfer
transaction from one investment account to another. Deleting and recreating
resolved the net worth problem and also the monthly reports problem.

Thanks to all for suggestions.

There is a net worth bar graph for the last year. At least in M04. I think
it's there in M06, but that machine is busy at the moment. It sound like you
are well on the right track.

Well, that didn't work either. I opened every one directly from the reports
page and they worked, then I revised each to show all dates/all accounts/all
investments, where applicable. Still no failure.

What is failing consistently is net worth over time. Can't get it to display
anything, but it doesn't crash. Just sits there with a 'loading' message. I
think this report (or a least a sample) is included in monthly report. Can
you confirm?

I customized that report down to including almost nothing, then added
accounts back one at a time using the 'apply' button. I isolated it down to
two investment accounts. I think there's actually a transfer between the
two, but I haven't investigated that far.

Thanks for the suggestions on where to look. I'll work on it.

I closed Money, and changed my system date to Jan 2004. Available
monthly reports then listed dates in 2003. Closing Money during the

If that does not let you get any monthly report to work, you know
the generic stuff: does it happen in Sample.mny or a new file? If
so, reinstall.

Also, try a File-> Repair.


Does it happen when you restore a backup to a new filename, so as to
not overwrite your current file? If you have multiple backups, that
could let you figure out when the problem appeared, and let you
suspect transactions entered between backups.

You may find that one or another of the investment reports also crashes.
Then you can play with the date range--customize it from the report menu
r-click so it won't crash before you can customize. This would be easier to
do binary searches anyway because you can also do things like eliminate
accounts completely and so forth in the report customizations rather than
the more brute force means necessary for the monthly report. For the Monthly
Report crashes, by binary search, I really meant narrow things down in great
swaths. Probably the best way--the way I went at it, as I recall--is to
delete entire investment accounts between attempts to see if it crashes.
Again, for the record, do this in a copy until you narrow the issue down to
a specific account/time period and, hopefully, a specific transaction.

Simple and useful. Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't do me any good. I was
going to do what it described without knowing I was doing a binary search.
On a hunch, though, I started with the oldest exposed report, 2/2005. That
failed.

Since I can't get the report to even start, I can't change the date back to
an earlier period where I presume an error exists. There's no apparent way
to fix it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search has a pretty good

I started in the oldest month in the list and it failed. I guess I can't get
this cleared up. It's not a great less, because I've rarely used them,
actually. It is aggravating, though.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Huh?

I saw this once. I went back month-by-month to prior monthly reports until I
stopped seeing it. (This may be harder now that they limit the number of
prior monthly reports.) Then I had to do binary search to find a problem
transaction within the problem month. I then deleted the transaction and
re-entered it. Make a copy...

Whenever I try to run a monthly report, Money suffers a hard crash at the
point when it's "Calculating the value of my assets and liabilities". A box
appears on the page that says "To view the reports your accounts must
contain transactions." and it suggests I connect to my bank to download
some. Then the Microsoft Money Error Reporting box pops up and says "We're
sorry, but Microsoft Money has experience an internal error and will have to
restart.". After clicking "tell" or "don't tell", Money closes and reopens.

Has anyone else experience a similar problem? I've tried quick and standard
repair, to no avail.

I've run this report in the past with no problems, but not since I rebuilt
the file.

If anyone has any clues, I'm open to suggestions.
