Make heavy use of scheduled bills and deposits, which are inherited by the
budget. But be VERY careful not to simply delete a bill. Always flag the
'last payment' field before you do, or a ghost of that continuing bill will
affect your budget in perpetuity.

Unless they're in the DRP or you're otherwise paying them off without
incurring new expenses, credit card payments are not part of a budget;
they're part of cash flow. Be sure to include the accounts in the budget so
the charges you incur show up in your expense categories. Otherwise you're
getting little detail or value out of the budget.

Are you using Advanced Register and Advanced Budget? The 'Essential'
settings would be better referred to as 'Extremely Limiting'. I guess
they're okay if all you want is a check register that can add properly and
you're not going to budget. But since you've taken the step of embracing a
budget, make sure you're on Advanced for both register and budget.

That is what I was thinking. Seems like you should be able to manually
adjust this, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... What was I thinking?!?!

The advanced budget makes weird assumptions from you bills when you first
turn it on. Give it a month or so and it will be back to normal.

BP questions are usually very hard to answer satisfactorily. Between the
fact that it works the way it does and almost nobody is really satisfied
with they way it works and the fact that it does some flaky things along the
way, it can be very hard to make progress on BP questions.

I am using 2006 and this is for 2004 and earlier. The description does
sound a bit familiar thouogh. Sure looks like a lot of work to fix the
budget for only this month. Especially since this month is more than half
over now.

One correction to my previous post...

On the budget Summary page, if you select edit for the credit card
budgeted item, it only shows the 2 transactions ($225 and $635) yet
the total amount shouw $1495.

The Paycheck shows 2 exact same transactions coming in on the 31st...
In fact, I only have one paycheck coming in on the 31st.

I recently decided I would try and setup a budget through MS Money and
began the tedious process of getting all the #'s needed for each money
and entering the data. Now I have a nice budget all setup and it
looks great... Except for a little problem I noticed.

For the current month it dhows that my income (and some expenses) are
2x what they should be. After further examination, I noticed that a
paycheck on the 31st of the month is entered twice. I went to the
Bill Calendar and it wa only listed there once. On the Bill summary
it is only listed once. There is no way to delete the extra occurance
of the paycheck in the budget and left the recurring paycheck intact.

This only appears the be happening on the current month... Next month,
and every month thereafter appear normal.

This issue is also happening on a coupl of my bills... My Credit card
payments show $1495 per month which is $635 more than it should be. I
mention the numbers because I have 2 credit card payments every month.
One is for $225 and the other is for $635. the $1496 is exactly $635
over what the budget is set to, which is $860.

Another plce this issue happens is on an expense I call Dependent care
.... This is a deduction from a paycheck for the amount of $416.66 per
month. I physically set the amount in the budget to $416.66, but it
changes to $833. Looking at the budget summary... If I select the
messed up items, and select "edit" on the entry, the window pops up
and shows 2 of the transactions when there should only be one... This
is true for all the items I mention.

Has anyone seen this before? how do I fix it?
