I ran into this problem this morning too and was able to correct it. What I
discovered was that one of my accounts had recently downloaded activity
containing very large transaction numbers. (I believe 10 characters). In
addition, the transaction numbers had a large gaps in sequence. When I
removed the transaction numbers from the transactions the report generated as
usual. Hope this helps.

The best I can recall, Microsoft bought Money from some other company
that had used who knows what database engine.

They made a big deal several years ago when they rewrote it to use the
Jet engine (the same one Access uses). I seem to remember big talk
about how you could use Access to get data from Money if you wanted.

A couple of years ago, they changed the database again to, I think,
MSISAM, a version of the Jet engine that keeps users from accessing the
data with Access. Maybe there were issues with people modifying their
data directly....

OK - so what is the database "flavor" of money, and where are
the open source database tools for examining that database? I
can't imagine that they ginned up a specially opaque database
format that can't be read by anything at all and that nobody
else ever has used. It's not dBASE II at least <grin> .

Money is just a complex set of screens that allow you to enter data
(more) easily into a relational database and get it back out in reports.

Database programs are flaky by nature. They're vastly complicated, and
the data files are gigantic. Just think--they have to be able to
contain any kind of data anyone ever has or ever will dream up, then
spit it back out. A major database, like the one a phone company uses
to track billing, has many, many full-time people (database managers)
massaging it to find and correct errors before they become
uncorrectable. The database underneath Money has one (you).

Corrupt data is a constant problem in all databases. The programmer who
designed the interface (the screens) has to think of every single way
you, and every other person, will ever try to enter data. That includes
simple things like pauses between keystrokes, random mouse movements,
and switching to other windows then back. Heck, different fonts are
sometimes a problem. If he misses something, the data stored in your
database might be bad. Things get more complicated when you add
software to your PC that changes the way things work--keyboard
shortcuts, for example. And, believe it or not, a properly-placed gamma
ray will cause a bit to flip on your hard drive, creating an error. (I
*think* it's a gamma ray; I'm remembering from college and I don't feel
like hauling out my stone tablet notes.)

It's amazing that Money works as well as it does. It hardly ever
crashes (for certain values of "hardly ever"), the data goes in pretty
smoothly, and it comes back out pretty accurately. We don't have many
tools to do the management (Repair Money File or salv.exe), but they
seem to fix all but severe problems.

And all for less than $100. Now if they would just add that one little
feature I've been wanting....

I wish it were that easy, but it's not that it's slowing down,
it's going to 95% CPU, and it never ends and returns to complete
the report. I have missing checks in other months, and that
doesn't bother the program. So I'm stumped. It's
just...windows...I guess...

Another thing that might slow a report is maybe a lot of out of
sequence checks.

Alas, this doesn't fix it either. So, no repair of any level
fixes the fact that something in MAY is messing up the program.
Rerpots that do not include that month work fine, and for the
life of me, I cannot find anything in that month that is the
slightest bit weird.

Consider trying the Remove All Bills Data feature on a *copy* of
your file. If you just want to try it to test for whether it would
be useful, just do it on the copy.

To get some information within the program,
File-> Repair-> RemoveAllBillsData
Read the information. Then click cancel.

Before proceeding, make an extra copy or backup of your file
in case you want to undo something.

The problem will be that if you remove all bills, you will probably
want to add at least some of your bills back. This can be done
manually with the aid of the reports that you print out before
removing the bills.

A technique that could help simplify re-entering your bills
afterward would be to go your register and selecting a
representative instance of your past bill and selecting "Make
Recurring" (Ctrl+E). This would be especially helpful if the bill
is complex, such as involving a split.

I guessed you maybe had not done three types.

Agree. Repair doesn't fix the problem.

I am also running into this bug. For some reason the monthly report
that includes April 2008 hangs at "Reviewing your accounts for potential
problems", takes the CPU to 98% and then just sits there. Earlier
reports that do not include this month are fine. And there is nothing
wrong with that month's entries. Repair doesn't change this.

Have you tried any of the File | Repair methods?

Hey Guys:

Am running win xp and money 2007. My monthly reports has crashed. When I
click on the report, it searches for changes in the monthly data, etc, but
then "hangs". I think this is what is slowing my computer; my computer's
processor is running something in the background causing everything to be
slow: my browser, money, etc.

How can I correct this problem in money? Have tried to reinstall money
without success and reset my computer to an earlier date again without
success.
