You can go to http://moneycentral.msn.com/common/networkstatus.asp and
check the status. It still says the same thing it has said for 4 days
now, but supposedly it will change when they finish their
"maintenance".

I also ended up removing the sync from my credit card/banking accounts,
before I found out that the problem was at MS's end. It's been nearly 3
days since it's been down..what the hell are they doing? and why is it
taking so long!!! Pretty god darn frustrating!!!

I've had similar problems with MS Money 2006 in the past where they do
maintenance on the synch with the moneycentral site over the weekend.
The first two times that the account updates consistently failed, I
removed the update options and had to rebuild the synch profile when
all I had to do was wait for Microsoft to fix their problems.

Now I just wait for them to fix it and don't monkey around with my
settings anymore.

But my god, this has been down since last Friday night. It's been
almost 72 hours now.

I'll know that the synch is back up when try to update a single account
and the second section ("MS Money Synchronization") section immediately
changes from "Your last call encountered an error" to "Your call was
successful".

It's not worth trying to synch all of your accounts. Just try one and
uncheck the stock price updates. When one of them starts working
again, all of them should be OK.

Hope this helps.

ARRRGGGHH! I finally got to select the financial institution, but now it says:

"Account setup is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Great, just great. Thanks, Microsoft, for letting us know ahead of time.

Roger,

See my resposne to your previous post. This looks to be an issue with MSN
Money.

I tried removing the MSN Money synch, but that seems to have removed my
automatic acount updates. Now when I try to add them back, I can't choose
the name of the financial institution, since it says "The list is temporarily
unavailable. Please try again later."

[at]#$%^&*()!

More information...

I somehow got to an "Account details" page in moneycentral. It shows the
missing transactions. It seems that the problem is that the transactions
did not get to my computer.

When I restart Money it already shows the account as "update in progress"

Roger,

I found a post entitled "Help! Update trouble since May 20th" posted
yesterday 6/4/06, and Cal Learner-- MVP replied. He gave this link:

http://moneycentral.msn.com/common/networkstatus.asp

Which is the network status for Money. The first one says:

"MSN Money syncronization in Money 2005 or Money 2006
When: 6/2/2006
Effect: Maintenance is being performed on syncronization between MSN Money
and Money 2005 and 2006.

During this maintenance, Money 2005 and 2006 will not be able to get updates
for accounts that utilize syncronization with MSN Money.Duration: We'll
reenable this as soon as possible."

That certainly looks to be our issue, and coincides with the time-frame
where mine stoped updating.

Sorry John, that's not very helpful.

I'm having the EXACT same problem - in fact, Money has been saying "update
in progress' for 3 DAYS now. Checking the summary says "Your account
information is being updated, which may take a few minutes. If this message
appears for more than 5 minutes, try again." Repeated attempts do nothing to
change this.

Look at your call summary messages and see what it suggests. Also you can
try update now

My Wells Fargo accounts update but my US Bank account has been in "update in
progress" for several days. I can access this account through their web
site.

Is there something I can do to get this account to update?
