See if things improve if you select
Tools-> Settings-> AccountSettings(global)-> DisplayAllAccountsInTheAdvancedRegister

Also, try Ctrl+T while viewing the account register.

Well... I am using Money Plus Personal + Small Business and it does NOT have
the memo field available for accounts that have online sync. I have
Mastercard account with AAdvantabge brand on it and that is the account that
does not offer the chance to add memos to transactions downloaded from the
banking online feature.

Any clue why??!!

Thx,

I went with the Money Plus Deluxe trial (not sure if this is "2008")
http://www.microsoft.com/money/Produ...s.aspx?pid=003

but it does now show the memo field, so good enough for my purposes.
Thanks again.

You might want to consider Money Plus aka M2008. Now available for download
or from Amazon towards the end of the month.

Ah OK, the marketing materials led me to believe that if I just wanted
to manage online banking and not investments, Essentials was the best
choice. I'll just grab a demo of one a more robust version of Money.
Thanks.

That is one of the joys (limitations) of Essentials. In other words you
can't.

Essentials is a severely restricted program and an Excel spreadsheet
probably has more functionality.

I'm trying to figure out where all my money is going each month, so I
downloaded an OFX file from myonline banking account, then imported it
into the trial version of MS Money Essentials. Money assigned
categories to each transaction and they are all completely wrong, so
I've had to start reassigning them manually. It would make my life
much easier if Money displayed the memo field so I could see
"McDonalds" vs. having to go back to the online account and see what
the transaction on this date for that amount was for. It's going to
take forever to match them that way. I have not been able to find a
way to get Money Essentials to display the memo field that exists in
the OFX file.

Thanks!
