Jerry,

Thanks for the information about changing the transfers in/out budgeted
figures within Money'06. This works great and I've used this information to
revise other figures supplied to the Annual report, such as bringing in cost
from outside the report range that impacted the accuracy of the nature of the
current figures. One example of this is dental where I so overspent last year
that I needed to consider this years budget figure with last years expense.

I lost your email when my email account history was erase, so I hope this
reaches you via this route. Sorry!

Thank you very much,
Ed

I've messed with this for several days now and I'm getting nowhere within the
Money'06 software. I've been able to clean up several of the "Bills" entries
by naming new catagories and deleting the old ones, but the income budgeted
ammounts sometimes seems to get off track and I'm tired of trying to figure
up new names to call things. The "transfers out..." are a complete loss for
trying to control what is declared as budgeted. Generating a new budget is no
help.
I gave up for now because I'm not getting any younger and I have to develop
a solution that works now. My temporary fix is to dump the annual report to a
*.cvs file and draw the correct portions of this into an *.xls file where I
do a fairly easy job of controling ALL of the budgeted figures and ALL of the
totals with Excel and VB functions. I run the annual report, dump to the
*.cvs file, and then I start the *.xls file and the rest is automatic.

Hello, ... Is anyone out there?


Thanks in advance, Ed

As I look at this I see that all of the expenses and transfers entered
through "Bills" are screwed up like the transfers mentioned eariler. I can
re-enter all the expenses like "State Income Tax: Payroll Deduction" with an
"(s)" on the end to look like a new line while deleting the old line from the
budget, but what can I do with those transferes where there is really nothing
I can edit or change?
I tried entering a negitive transfer out of the budget to be deleted later,
but that only made matters worse.

I removed the receiving savings account from the budget and I'm able to have
a monthly transfer show in the budget. Works great but the problem is that I
played with this for a while and now the (untouchable) budgeted figure that
Money 2007 generates says that I have $2,000 (+/-) more then I really do. The
budgeted figures for Jan, Feb, and Mar are messed up. How do I correct these
figures to demonstrate the true values, or do I just live with it all and
swim in my own stew?

Thanks in advance, Ed
