The transfers should be taken care of by importing all QIF files at
once.

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

It doesn't occur in the sample file, which means the install ok.

I have an older backup but the problem continued there. I didn't go
back too far though because that would be to many transaction to
enter.

Yep - had gone through all of your suggestions already with no luck.

The problem here is that I'm always transferring funds between
accounts. So when you import, it's going to keep wanting the 12
other accounts its dependent on. If you try to create any of them
through this dialogue, all of the account types aren't there (ie,
retirement).

I've put it at 30 and have it backing up on close and every day.

I've figured out what I believe is a solution. I brought my system
to a Vista restore point before this started occuring. My newer files
still have the issue but my April 15 file is ok. Money for some
reason has to download an update and install. I don't remember having
to update Money for some time but ok. I think a Vista Update may
have interferred with Money. I haven't installed any Vista Updates
from the last three days.

I'm also trying to install Money on another PC next to this one so I
can view the month and a half worth of transactions that I'll need to
enter on the current PC. That's assuming I don't run into the same
problem. But that machine has it's on problems. After a fresh
install, I get this when starting Money:

Money was unable to load the registration library (dll).

Go figure. By the way, MS Money Support had no suggestions for me on
the transaction issue. They closed the case unresolved. I'm going
to call about the dll issue. Hopefully I'll have better luck...

That is a problem.

You could try opening sample.mny or make a new blank file. If either
shows the same problem, then you would figure the problem is with
the installation. That is unlikely, I am afraid.

Do you have an older backup on other media?

You could try File-> Repair-> RemoveAllBillsData. I don't expect it to
solve your problem, but it seems worth a long shot try.

You could do QIF export from your problem file and import into a new
file. If you want to try that, say so. There are some
considerations. Check back for hints.

Also, when you get things going again, increase the number of
backups that Money keeps from the default 4 to maybe 20 or 90. Also
back up to other media on occasion.

The problem is that even when I go to an older backup, I still get the
transaction error.

Do not overwrite your existing backups.

I would File-> Restore a backup from a time before the problem,
started. You can choose a new filename rather than choosing the
default location if you do not want to overwrite an existing
transaction.


Alternatively, open Money and start the restore by launching the
selected *.mbf file from Windows explorer.

Also consider increasing the number of backup that Money keeps
beyond the default 4.

Regarding the credit card account showing transactions to read, that
can be dealt with. But more critical is the "The transaction > cannot
be entered" error.

I'm using Money Plus Deluxe v17. I keep getting "The transaction
cannot be entered" when I try to enter anything into my banking
register. I also have downloaded credit card statements that show
new transactions. When I go to that account, there are no new
transactions. This started about two days ago.

I've had no luck trying the following:

- uninstalled/reinstalled Money
- level 1 file repair
- level 2 file repair never has worked

Any suggestions?
