Time has passed and a dozens of failed attempts but success has been
obtained. Thanks you Cal Learner for your input. Didn't hurt but
didn't solve the problem.

FYI the details:
May 1999 Original CD established
May 2002 Original CD matured
May 2002 New CD established and Original CD principal plus interest
transferred into New CD
May 2006 New CD matured.

Under the name of New CD, MSMoney kept two listings, one of the
Original CD name and the other of the New CD name.
I was trying to redeem the total of the principal and interest in New
CD to Savings. That is when I got the "negative balance" statement.

Just now I redeemed the Original CD, the total amount stated as of May
2002. It went, no problems.
Then holding my breath, I redeemed the remaining balance of the New
CD. It Went!

So I have learned even though I transferred the entire total out of
the Original CD, MSMoney still felt it belonged to that CD and wanted
to redeem them one at a time. I probably will remember this now :-]

I discovered this ng sometime after I updated from about 2000 to 2005,
If I have discovered it soomer, I probably would have not updated.
Thanks for all the info over the years, hopefully this will help
someone else.

If I saw a wild number, I would do
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair.

Does the Quantity column in the Portfolio view look correct?

Also, if you have not rebooted the computer lately, I would try
that.

Upon re reading this I realized in my efforts to be brief, I left out
polite as well. Sorry. Thank you for your efforts to help me.

I just re-opened my 'test' account, opened the firewall door and
allowed it to upgrade. The version now agrees with your number.
I then closed the program entirely and then closed the firewall door
and opened my real money file.

Then I attempted to close the CD and got the exact message as before.
Thanks for the suggestion, my version was an earlier one.

If your version is not already 14.0.*.1105, that could be a problem.

WinXP Pro, Original CD matured and renewed under new terms and thus
different idenity. It has now matured and I need to spend the money
to pay off a loan. The last bit of interest was entered seperately.
Then when I hit 'enter' to finish the transaction to redeem it and
transfer to a Money Market acct. I get a window that says " Adding
this Sell, Remove or Redeem Shares activity will cause the balance of
'1740340565' held in this investment account to become negative at
some point. Please cancel or revise the transaction". Only action is
a button called OK

I have tried several different dates, transferring to the accompanying
cash account, and to other active accounts even the loan itself, the
result is the same. I have also tried leaving a dollar in the cd,
adding the last interest in the same transaction, same result

This happened to me a couple of years ago and I finally got the
mission accomplished, but I cannot remember how :-(

Everything is hand entered, firewall has been told not to let Money
through.
