| 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. -- Peace, BobJ "thesquishie" <thesquishie[at]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6C7FFAA3-8DDD-4FA6-A4A4-799769B13274[at]microsoft.com... - quote - > I just downloaded the trial version of Microsoft Money Essentials and > uploaded 5 different accounts (2 savings, 2 checking & 1 credit).

| 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? |
