Yeah....that's what I was looking for. M04 had that. Maybe I just didn't
see it. I'll have to watch more closely next time.
Thanks.

Duh, you're right. It was late. I did
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair and the totals didn't change.

I think I found what's happening. When I double click on the Total Expenses
for July, some of the items have $##### in the amount column. It seems these
are not getting included in Total Expenses. How does the $#### get fixed
so it is included in the Total Expenses. The items with $#### are Fed Tax
Withheld from my two paychecks, a cash withdrawal. Bank Charges: Interest
Paid (a credit card). And Loan: Mortgage Interest which is entered in the
"Details" of Loan Payment: Home Mortgage (PITI). All the $### total up to a
little more than Potential Savings. But June's is the same way and the $###
total to $30 less than Potential Savings.

The $### is when I double click the Total Expenses amount in the Monthly
Report, and if I double click that item, the $ amount is correct in the
register. Hmmm.

I hope this isn't too confusing. Cause I am.

So somehow these $#### are not getting included in totals. M04 didn't do
this. It must have happened in the conversion, maybe?

At times, when I have transaction posted to a month that has passed; on
monthly report screen, on lower left hand side, I see a link "Transaction
has been posted to this month, please click here to regenerate report". On
clicking the link, report is updated....

It's quick and safe, but certainly it is wise to consider various
things.

Having transfers from your checking account to your credit card
account show up as expenses would indeed be strange. The purchase of
the $100 tickets in the credit card account should show as a $100
expense. If you then pay the $100 credit card balance from the
checking account you still only had $100 in expense.

Before I try that. I was just looking through it again and what I think I'm
seeing is my credit card payments not showing up in the report in "Total
Expenses". I use "Transfer" to pay them and these amounts don't show up when
I click the expense amount in the Income v Expenses section of the July
monthly report. So does that mean I have to pay credit cards using
"Withdraw" to categorize it---then manually enter the payment in the credit
card account? yuck. (I don't download my statements, just update my
portfolio).

If that's the case, I installed M07 7/7/07. June does the same thing. But,
the rest of the monthly reports are ok, like they were in M04, it added the
transferred credit card payments into the Total Expenses. Strange, no?
Thanks.

Default Monthly Report

Hi,
Trying to navigate M07 is worse than the M$ site. lol. And the help is worse.

My July monthly report only has one-half of the month's transactions. I did
not enter some of July transactions until after 7/31, like my second paycheck
of the month and bills paid 7/31. I cannot find a way to refresh it like in
M04. Is there a way to refresh/update it so it includes the rest of my July
transactions?

Thanks.
Judy
