Mary,

In my Money2007, all I had to do was remove a check mark. In
Investing/Porfolio Manager/Common Tasks/Update Prices remove the check mark
from Update Automatically (every 30 minutes). That way, I can control when
prices or updated or just do them manually to balance to my statement.

My problem with balancing to my statement is that Merrill Lynch reports the
value of a CD by discounting it to the current date rather than using the
purchase price. But Money insists that the current value of a CD
(Certificate of Deposit) is the purchase price. Have you had this problem
and were you able to fix it?

Hope my reply helps you.

It is likely out looking for updates to its own code, to its ads, and to the
service definitions for the FIs you can connect to.

DOH...well, you learn something new every day! I didn't even notice that I
could do that. I think that should work for now.

However, it still concerns me that I cannot control Money accessing the web.
I don't log in under Windows Live ID (I think that's what it's called); I
just log in locally, so I wouldn't think I would be getting live updates at
all, unless I manually request them. I don't think I have background banking
turned on. I don't use it, didn't configure it and don't want it but can't
figure out where it is turned on or off.

This is really frustrating to me. I've been using Money in various versions
since at least Money 99 and every time I upgrade, it takes forever for me to
get things back to status quo.

Anyway, I'm still interested in finding out why Money is still accessing the
web. Thanks much for your suggestion to change the date...boy, do I feel
silly hahaha.

Can't you just change the date on portfolio manager, upper right corner, to
the month end date?
I do it to balance to a particular day while getting updates every day.

No. If I look under processes, there is no process called mnybbsvc.exe.

I don't see happen on Money Plus what you see happen, either.

This does make some difference, yes. I expect you to make sure that
UseAutomatedUpdates is cleared. On
Tools-> InternetUpdates-> CustomizeUpdates there is a
checkbox to control Automated Online Updates. If the box is
ticked, mnybbsvc.exe, the background banking service, is run. If
you open a Money file where the checkbox is cleared, mnybbsvc.exe
ends. You are able to select this even if there is no LiveID on
the file.

Consider removing the LiveID on your file if it has one and if you
don't want to use the features that it enables.

Probably, if it is a new purchase.

I don't see happen in Money 2007 what you see happen.

If you do Ctrl+Alt+Delete, do you see a mnybbsvc.exe process?

BTW, I just want to point out that I am using Money Plus Deluxe, not Money
2007. Hope that doesn't make too big a difference. Sorry.

Yes, and the prices going back in time are not an issue. For example,

9/26/07 I buy 100 shares of Microsoft.

I enter that trade into Money.

On 9/30/07, my broker sends me a month end statement, with a 9/30 settlement
price.

If I don't balance that account until 10/5, the most recent price in Money
will be 10/5, ergo, I won't be able to balance unless I delete all of the
prices back to 9/30.

Maybe not a big deal with one account, one security, but I have at least 10
different accounts with at least 100 securities.

This used to work very easily.

When I go to Tools-> InternetUpdate-> CustomizeUpdates, the only thing that
appears is a page titled "Customize update schedule" and underneath that, the
option is to update quotes every __ minutes. It is currently set to 30
minutes, even though under Portfolio Manager, I deselected Update quotes.
There is no option to update every 0 minutes or never.

Oh you've got to be kidding me...I have 100s of securities. This did not
used to be a problem. Is there a way for me to roll back to the previous
version that worked and return this version for a refund. For a very simple
concept, this is taking up a lot of my (and your) time.

Thanks for your help.

If you were to do a Buy of a security you had never used before,
then you would find that when prices were fetched, it would get them
from quite a while back.

I wonder if these might not be coming in with background banking. On
Tools-> InternetUpdates-> CustomizeUpdates you may be able to turn
things off. In the first item in File-> Settings, you may want to
turn that off.

If all else fails (and it certainly should not come to this) you
could remove the symbol from the security.

I balance to my broker at month end, using last business day of the month
prices. With Money Plus, the prices update every time I open Money. So, if
I don't get my statement until 3 or 4 days after month end, I may have 3 or 4
days of settlement prices since month end. Therefore, I won't be able to
balance my account without manually deleting all of the prices back to month
end. Does that make sense?

I know that they are still updating even though I deleselected bythe Update
prices box because when I click on a security and then click Update prices
manually, there are prices in there from every single day, showing the source
as online.

Bottom line is that I want the option to turn off automatically updating
quotes and updating them manually once a month. I was able to do this in
past versions of Money and it really bugs me that, when you upgrade, all of
your own settings go away.

Thanks for you prompt response.

What are you trying to accomplish? Is it a speed thing or something

I am having the same problem in Money Plus Deluxe. Under Portfolio Manager,
I unchecked the box marked Update Prices every ____ minutes. But I'm still
getting updates every time I log on. What else do I need to do?

Thanks much.

AND if you then Update manually your banking accounts, be sure to UNcheck
the box "Update Stock and Fund quotes..." as this box gets rechecked by
default each time you run Update Now.

I would like to turn the automatic update of Mutual Fund and Stock prices
OFF. I would rather update after I balance to my broker's hard copy
statement. How do I do this?

I notice that most of my funds have online updates from Dec 1, Dec 22 and
Dec 29th. I installed MS Money 2007 on Dec 28th and have just started using
it. Why are updates for these dates chosen?

I had been using Money 2003 and had it set so that I could control when it
went to the internet for price updates.
