Cal, after playing around some more, it appears the cashflow is working. I
have no idea why, or how....maybe one of your suggestions worked, and I just
needed to use the file a bit before everything settled down. I still can not
get rid of that one entry in the old account, but I don't care now,
everythink else appears to be working.

Thanks again for your suggestion

Regards,

Gary

no luck, I tried the dual conversion process you mentioned, it did not work.
same scenario.

I followed you second suggestion, and when I try to delete the "inital buy"
or any of the "reinvest intrest" entries, i get a message saying it tells me
I already redeemed the CD, and will not let me do it. Also, if i try to
delete the "Cash transaction" associated with the buy, again, it tells me I
already redeemed the CD, and I have to delete the redeemed entry on the
account side first. back to square one. I tried playing with the dates, and
moving the buy AFTER the redeem, but it wont let me, telling me the
investment will go negative at some point in the future.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the quick reply

This is a long shot, and you may have tried it already. From Money
Plus, do a File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2 to make
a repaired copy of the Money *2004* file. On the output of that
step, do a File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 1
version.

If those seem to work, try converting that file with Money Plus.

Another thing to consider is to start deleting the newest reference
to the problem CD, and continue to the oldest. To help with that,
you can go to the investment by right clicking on any reference and
making the appropriate choice. Then InvestmentActivities will give
you all off the references.

After deleting the references newest to oldest, let's hope you can
delete the account.

note, igonre the text at the bottom after my name, it is just leftover from a
cut & paste when I was origianlly typing that I forgot to delete.

Thanks again

I have a Money 2004 file that works just fine bar the expiration of
downloading stock quotes. I previously bought, installed, and tried to use
M'05 & M06, but ran into the Cashflow not Updating issue, and figured I just
keep using M'04 until I was forced to update. Now, I installed the demo of
MPlus and have the same situation, when I import my M04 file, it crashed the
program (same as M05 and M06), the import never completes. Money restarts,
and it appears all my data is there, but it runs terribly slow, and the
cashflow doesn't work. So, I started the whole list of things to check,
admin privilidges, nuke the bills, and so on. none seemed to work. When I
got the part where I should delete 'problem accounts' I thought I was on to
something. Everytime I tried to delete an old 401k account, every version of
Money I own just crashed. I tried every version of salve.eve and ran a Level
2 repair, all to no avail.

My latest thought was to 'merge' all my old 401k entries into my current
account. This went well, except for one investment. It is a CD. No matter
what I do, I can not delete the entry for when it matured. I think this is
the entry screwing everything up. Starting in 1998, I have an original buy
entry, then every 3 months there is a reinvest intrest entry for 4 quarters
That I can not modify. When I try, I get a message stating I have 'already
redeemed or removed the funds associated with this transaction. If you want
to delete this transaction, you must first delete the Redeemed ot Remove
Shares activity first.' OK, I understand that, it makes sense.....but I can
not do that. I see the transaction, but nothing happens when I click on it.
I can not edit or delete that Redeem transaction. If I just try to delete
the whole account, all version of Money just crash with the typical 'your
file is corrupt and you are screwed' error message that tells me nothing.
(sorry if I am cynical, but this is extremely frustrating, I have been using
various versions of Money since 1995 and I can believe this doesn't work.)

So, if the provided "file repair" does not work...how do I un-corrupt my
file. I have trying to delete this entry and account in both Money 2004 file
(in M'04) and the semi converted Money Plus file in MPlus.

Thanks for any help
Gary


Then the final 'problem' entry is a "Reedem CD/Bond" entry. I can edit or
delete this entry. When I try to delete the 5 previous entrys, I get
