So does H&B IF you use it right. See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=167.
And delete the stupid expense category.

Yes. It permits transfer directly from one account to another.

I have exactly the same problem as the original poster, and like him/
her, I want to see the Credit Card Payments/Transfers to balance out
to zero across the checking and the credit card accounts. But unlike
him, I have this problem with the MS Money Plus Home & Business Trial.

Does the Deluxe have the correct behavior I am looking for?

Default Re: Question about Microsoft Money Essentials

When I downloaded the free trial I thought I downloaded Money Plus Deluxe but
I couldn't remember the title when I posted this and so I checked the "About
Microsoft Money" in the help menu and it said Microsoft Money Essentials
Trial. Did I end up with Money Essentials somehow? I have a feeling I do
have Plus Deluxe because based on the features I've explored so far, this is
the version that will best suit my needs.

Money Plus Deluxe is the trial I downloaded...but I couldn't remember that
when I first posted this and the desktop icon and the info in the help menu
said "Microsoft Money Essentials Trial". Did I end up with Money essentials
after all? It seems like this program is exactly what I need based on the
features I've explored.

I don't think anyone here uses Money Essentials and judging by what you are
writing, neither should you. Chalk up your wasted work to a learning
experience, ditch what you have done and download Money Plus Deluxe.
Essentials is really "Money Minus" and is a useless product. If you like
Deluxe and decide to buy it after the trial, I would suggest that you buy
the CD in a store, rather than registering it over the net, so you have a
backup if you need to reinstall it.

Default Question about Microsoft Money Essentials

I just downloaded the trial version of Microsoft Money Essentials and
uploaded 5 different accounts (2 savings, 2 checking & 1 credit). The issue
I'm having is with the pie chart report on the home page. We use our credit
card for most purchases and pay it off every month to get the reward points.
Because of that I categorized all our credit card purchases to properly show
us the percentages we spend on what each month. But then in my checking
account (which I use to pay the credit card off) I categorized the credit
card payments as "Credit Card Payments/Transfers". Now the reports represent
that outgoing money twice - once as an expense say...$100 in household that I
cagetorized in the credit card account, once as an expense of $100 in credit
card payments/transfers that I categoried in the checking account. Anyone
else encounter this? I thought that since I would have a debit of $100 in my
checking but then a credit of $100 in my credit card account they would
cancel each other out but the pie chart doesn't show income like that.

I also deal alot with company reimbursables and don't know how to properly
categorize them so that they don't show up on our monthly expense reports.
Technically I'm not spending the money as I get reimbursed a week later but
it shows up in my checking account and if I categorize it it will show up as
an expense on the report but doesn't get canceled out when I deposit the
reimbursement money.

Would not categorizing these transactions take care of that? Or would they
show up on the expense pie chart as "not categorized" anyways?
