Sorry it took so long to get back but I had already disconnected.
Yes I have XP. The DPI setting is "Normal size (96DPI)". I have never
reset any of this. The other choices are "Large size (120DPI)" and "Custom
setting...".

I will experiment with this and see what happens. Everything seems to be
working right now and everything is viewable.
Thank you for your help.

For XP font size, you can right click a blank spot on the desktop,
and choose
Properties-> Settings-> Advanced. Changing the DPI setting to a higher
number gives bigger characters. If you had done this in the past,
that might explain part of what you see.

In a Money report, Customize-> Fonts lets you select fonts for that
report.
experiment, and change back if you find the downside to outweigh
the upside.

Ok, I will try that, wherever it might be. It is whatever the default of
Money is. It looks like it does here in the forum, but a little bit bigger.

Thanks much!!!

Cool. You might also experiment with fonts on reports. Consider
Arial Narrow.

You may have set Windows to a higher DPI font setting that
contributed to the problem.

This was at the end of my post. I did try Quick File Repair to no avail.

This Worked!!!! Thank you sooooo much. I did try changing the amt. column
but no bottom scroll bar appeared at the bottom of the window. I didn't try
changing any of the other columns though. I've been frustrated with this for
3 1/2 months now.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Start with File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair

Try changing column width on reports.

Default No $ amounts, only ####

I have got a serious problem with Money 2007. There are so many places that
just has #### instead of the actual $ in the Amount column using Reports.

For example. Reports, Income & Spending. All the $ Amounts are there when
the report opens. There is an Income-Unassigned $300.00. If I double-click
that to see what it is, in the View Transactions: Income window it lists all
my paychecks with $0.00 for the amount. There is one that has #### for the
amount. If I double-click the one with ####, it has $300.00 in the Edit
Transaction Window. While I am typing this, I just clicked the Income
-Unassigned $300.00 again, and the View Transactions: Income, and now *all*
the entries show #### for the amount, not even the $0.00 is there any more.
When I click Create A Report, all the money amounts show.

In the Income & Spending Report, when I click the Investment Income , the
View Transactions: Investment Income window opens, some amounts were $0.00,
the rest were ####. After I closed it and just now tried that one again, ALL
of the amounts are ####. When I click Create a Report in the View
Transactions: Investment Income window, all the money amounts show in this
Report.

This occurs with every item in the Income & Spending report.

Another example, In Assets and Liabilities, Account balances with details.
When that report opens, if I double click any item listed under Account or
Bank Name, all the Amount has is ####. Then if I click Create a Report from
there, all the money amounts show.

There are other places this happens too but don’t recall off the top of my
head right now. The amount column has four # signs, (####) instead of the
actual money amounts.

Oh I remember, it is in Monthly Reports. In the first section Income v.
Expenses. When I double-click the figure in Total Expenses, for either of
the two months, prior month or current month, those amounts are ####. I have
to double-click *each* individual entry in the Edit Transaction window to see
the amount. In the Edit Transaction window, if I Create A Report, the $
amounts show correctly. Any item in the Monthly Reports that can be
double-clicked, all have #### instead of the actual $ amount.

What is wrong with this thing? A few months ago I tried a Quick File
Repair, but it did not fix this. I just tried Quick File Repair again, and
it did not fix it.

Please, can someone help me with this? Its been doing this ever since I
upgraded from Money2004. I *Never* had problems with that version. I hope I
was clear enough to describe this problem. Thank you.
