Not sure about that but the second section of the link I posted does explain
how to clear categories from the budget when amounts are doubled. I don't
recall an issue involving $0 amounts in the budget. You might try the
temporary category fix on one of your items and see if that works. Or
somebody may chime in with a specific solution. I'm sure it can be fixed
and you might figure it out yourself if you keep poking around in the MSFT
knowledge base or just keep trying stuff on your own. Keep a backup copy of
your data file in case the file gets too messed up.

Thanks; that's closer. I was able to delete the duplicates. I'm still not
sure how to get rid of the $0 in the budgeted column on the summary screen.
Do I need to change categories and remove all of the budget items, and then
re-add them?

Take a look at this Money support article and maybe it will help:

Money's budget feature is a pain but once you get it working right it is
really helpful. Most of the problems arise when you try to change or add
items and then delete old items. Deleting usually does not work and you end
up with wacky budget reports.

In the Budget summary, I have a couple of "Expenses over budgeted limits"
that I can't figure out how to get rid of.

Both are monthly bills, and I've added categories for both in my budget.
Both are "Estimate because amount varies." Both show up in the Budget
summary with $0 in the budgeted column.

I've tried removing the items from my budget, then going to my bank
register, and making the payments recurring. This adds the items to the
budget, but now I have 3 or 4 entries per item, and my total for each
category is several times what it should be. On the Budget summary screen,
the "budgeted" column is still $0.

I have also tried removing the items from my budget and readding the
categories. This adds back all of the duplicate items, which I cannot remove
individually.

I have also tried Autobudget. This does not seem to have any effect.
