Not likely. But I could be wrong.

This is one of the most helpful post strings - thanks for the information.

Do you suppose the 'nuke' will solve this?
I have several loan accounts with the payment set up in the bill section.
Sometimes - but not all the time - the program will get confused when I
execute the payment and will forget how to calculate interest and principle.
Instead, it will post the entire amount in the principle category.

Once all of the series exceptions are entered in register or deleted, what's
to keep track of? Instead of yet another utility, why can't they just make
it cleanup after itself on the fly? The number of exceptions should NEVER
exceed 12x the number of bills since each bill can only have the next twelve
series members edited to be exceptions.

As usual, I probably don't understand how they've really designed the
innards, but it just doesn't seem like that hard of a problem...

The performance problems that Nuke The Bills solves are much more pervasive
that the problems that Spending Tracker is causing on some people's home
pages.

There is no good way that gets all of the information. This is another area
where Money borders on a Write Only Memory.

Barring availability of two machines running Money that can Remote Desktop
(so you can copy from one Money session with the old bills stuff to the
other Money session where you are re-entering the bills stuff) I would print
and/or Export to Excel a report the Scheduled Bills report (can't remember
it's exact name). To this I would mark up or note in the resultant Excel
file all of the stuff that doesn't report. (Any exceptions in the series,
the flag for "amount varies" and any series "ends after" information all
come to mind as things that don't report.)

Did this a couple of months back, and it made a huge difference. Money is
actually usable again.

I believe there's a report in the Bills section - you can just use
File|Print to get most of the useful information you'll need to recreate
them. I don't think there's a way to export / nuke / import - you'll have
to rebuild.

It does speed up the rebuild process though if you can go through your
check register and use 'make recurring' on things like utility bills, etc.
You can at least leverage your history.

As I understand it every time you amend a bill (frequency or amount) a new
bill schema is created. When examining bills Money has to wander through all
schemas tracking current bills. Thus if your bills are regular/static then
the Nuking effect will last.

Logically however there is going to be a time when the number of schemas
builds up and another Nuking session is needed.

Hopefully MS will produce an utility to achieve this. I have no insights as
to whether this is planned or is indeed feasible.

What is the best way to export the Bills information?

thanks!
Niking the bills appears to have resolved the issues
However will adding thme back in bring the problems back?

There are a couple of threads relating to Money Plus complaining about poor
performance. Folks have found that spending tracker is a major culprit. I
recemtly did the same upgrade as you, and although my system is clearly
speedier, Plus takes 10 vs 1 minute to fill in the home page. Please join me
in insisting that Microsoft fix the problem. I have no intention of
streamlining my file to fix their performance issue.

Consider Nuke The Bills. See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=187. It has
worked for a lot of people. You might want to try it first on a COPY of your
data file to see if it solves anything before committing to all of the
effort it takes to really do it on your production file. Dumping to QIF does
not make sense as way too many things do not go through that filter. (Bills,
Loan Accounts, and details for Accounts, Payees, Categories, and
classifications to name just a few.)

I recently upgrade from Money 2005 to 2008
My Money DB has been around since ~2001 and is over 25 MB
When I was running 2005 there were many times when Money would just peg the
CPU and churn away.
This seems to be MUCH worse with 2008; when I startup it just churns for 10
minutes

I was thinking of starting my DB over.
I thought I would export the data from my current file as .qif
Edit the quif to remove anyhting prior to 2006
Then reimport into 2008

Does this make sense?
Any other suggestions are welcome

Jeff
