Exactly right.
I don't know why they could not have done this in a programatic fashion
during the conversion of the file which would have hidden all this nonsense
from the user.

If the bills need nuked, there seem to be effects all over the app.

You know the maintenance programmers are all that's left when Nuke The Bills
is the best solution they can come up with to problems 100% of their own
making in their own file.

Just for kicks I nuked the bills. Not clear to me what this has to do with
opening the home page, but it reduced opening the home page from 9 minutes
to about 15 seconds.
The money file structure must really be dorqued.
I'm a happy camper now.

Thank you for the quick reply. Setting "open with account list" is fine and
comes up quickly. I removed a few more modules from the home page and can
get 2006 performance, but the issiue is that I really depend on what is on
the home page. I can't imagine that a long term solution is not to use the
home page modules. Do you know if a fix is coming?
Thanx much.
Al.

Maybe. More likely it is a "Home" page module problem.

I would first go to Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings and set the
(GeneralDisplayStartMoneyWithThisPageOpen:Accoun tList

That should speed up your starting, since it sounds as if the
"home" page is probably associated with the slowness.

Then Tools-> Settings-> HomePageDisplayOptions and Remove the
BillsAndDeposits and SpendingTracker modules. If you still have a
problem when you go to the "home" page, remove all modules. If the
problem goes away, you can add things back until the problem does
not happen.

Default Money Plus - Need a point in the right direction

I just installed Money Plus (was running 2006) on my XP Pro.SP2 machine.
Installation, conversion of money file and an update all went fine. Issue
is that it takes about 9 minutes to open the money file. I removed spend by
category and spending tracker from the home page and that made a giant
improvment down to about 60 seconds to open. Is this a muke the bills
situation? A level 2 repair found nothing wrong.
Performance with 2006 with spending tracker etc was fine.
Would appreciate a point in the right direction.
I went back to 2006 so all is fine now, but need Plus for the 2 year quotes.
Thanx much.
Al.
