Default Re: Help! Balancing Accounts Error

That was a very quick fix...file repair brought the balance to where it
should be. Not sure why it was corrupted, but it's 100% perfect now.

Thanks!

If you temporarily change the View to show only unreconciled
transactions, you could spot an older unreconciled transaction more
easily.

See if
http://support.microsoft.com/default...13&Product=mny
applies. In particular check for a symptom where the register gives
a different balance when the view is changed to show only
unreconciled transactions or in some other way.

Another idea is to restore that 6 month old backup to a different
filename. Open it, and "print" the register (in landscape). I would
print to a PDF with CutePDF or PDF995 to save paper.

Then open the current file, using the list at the bottom of the File
menu. Compare the balance at various dates.

Default Help! Balancing Accounts Error

Ok, so I've used Monday for years, going back to 1999. In every case, no
issues balancing MS Money vs my paper statements. (I automatically download
the transactions, then manually balance once a month to confirm.) Now, out
of nowhere, my starting balance is off by $14.22. I know it was correct last
month. So, I clear last month figuring that will get rid of the issue, but
that $14.22 is still off. I went back about 6 months, nothing doing. I
checked the balance manually and it all adds up! So, I can't put in an
adjustment because I know it's correct. I did look to see if there were any
transactions that were no longer marked as "Reconciled", but they all are.
Any ideas? I need to get rid of this $14.22 that's off...and it's nothing
recent.
