Well, you didn't necessarily. Doing one just assures that you really
understand what settings are in play. Sometimes it can take a lot more
studying of the settings to figure out which one is in your way than just
resetting the report and starting from fresh.

From this distance, it's impossible to tell you want you are doing wrong.
Perhaps we can figure it out together.

What report? Have you Reset the customization to remove anything you weren't
expecting? Have you made sure to select the right dates?

Generally the best way to figure these things out is to start with a basic
report, reset, and expand it until it includes ALL of whatever it is you are
trying to limit the report to. Then keep customizing it until what you want
to get as ALL you get. Take baby steps along the way if necessary.

Make sure the correct date range is selected.

Hi all,

I'm using Microsoft Money 2004 Deluxe. I want to print a simple report
of my charitable contributions for last year. I selected Charity as the
category but the report had no line items at all. Ditto even after I
clicked on the Payee tab and selected every charity I made a
contribution to. When I issued the checks I faithfully selected Charity
as the category.

My thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
