Sorry to see that it did not have a simple solution.

You could contact Microsoft, or you could work around the problem
using the return of capital method described in

Is your version 16.0.125.1303?

If so, I would consider making a repaired version of your file with
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2, and see if that
file has the same problem.

If that is not your version, let us know.

I receive the message "This operation cannot be performed," after I entered
all the information from a spin-off. In this case, it's Disney spinning-off
Citadel, with a bit of cash left over.

The steps I took were as follows:

1) Record a Spin-Off
2) Entered Disney in originating spin-off field and Citadel in New Company
3) I enter the spin-off date
4) I enter the number Citadel shares I receive for each Disney share (.0767)
and I choose to have an adjusted cost basis for both companies
5) I choose to replace fractional shares with cash
6) I enter Citadel's stock price on 6/12/2007, choose OK and then get the
above error message.


I'm using MS Money 2007 Premium on Windows XP SP2 machine. I exited MS
Money, restarted it, same problem. I exited Windows, back in, same problem.

Any thoughts on why I'm getting this error?

Thanks,

Miles
