Thanks. That seems to have worked.

Thanks. I may try again in a few days. I have already gone back
to my old Money file and paid some bills so I no longer have a
good snapshot to compare to.

Hi Ed

if you mean recreate the bill so that it puts in 'Calculated' in the split
entries for principal and interest, then this can be done via the debt
reduction planner (see http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/76.aspx).

Enter a Bill for category Loan Payment : [name of Loan Account]. It should
finger out what it needs to line up with the payment terms for that account.

As to the question you pose in the subject, your guess is as good as
anybody's. What does the historic trend indicate to you?

Default Is MS ever going to fix the problem with Bills?

My money file gets slower and slower every year (started in Money
95 and have used every version since then) and have confirmed the
problem in my inability to easily view the "Spending tracker" in
Money Plus is because the bills are somehow messed up in the
background - they all seem to work fine for payment, cash flow,
etc. Spending Tracker totally chokes though, taking 2-3 minutes
to show up.

If I clear out all bills using the "Repair Money, Remove All
Bills" it works fine. But after wasting about an hour putting
stuff back in, I ran across my mortgage.

It seems the "remove all bills" breaks the mortgage altogether.
In the "Bill section" of the loan setup, there is nothing but the
date of the last payment. There is no way that I can see to
recreate the bill that auto-calcs principle and interest, short
of deleting and recreating the loan, which is ridiculious.

MS should provide a function in Money 2009 that legitimately
fixes whatever the schema problem is in the Bills section instead
of just wholesale whacking your bills.
