I fixed it, but not really sure how. I was using the Monthly Income &
Expenses report. Even though its H&B I'm using, I'm sure standard
things like reports are the same.

I went back to the default report, and it showed my split
transactions. I was customizing the report to specific accounts &
categories, so something went wrong there. Still not sure what.
Thanks .

As far as I can see,plarney mentioned nothing specific to the business
version. Of course, that doesn't mean that the problem isn't due to
using H&B, just that it isn't obvious. :-)

Mr. Watson is on target. If you'll tell us what report you're using,
we'll have a better shot at helping you.

He's also right about the unassigned amounts being an issue. Here's how
I handle cash:
* Withdraw $100.
* Categorize it as FoodiningOut, because that's where it usually gos
(coffee, lunch, etc.)
* Buy a garden hose with cash; edit the withdrawal transaction and add
a split categorized as Household:Maintenance
* Right-click the original split for Food, choosing
AddUnassignedAmountHere to recalculate the balance
* The total of the splits is now back to $100, and all of it is
categorized.
* When you run out of cash, make a new withdrawal, create a new
transaction, and start the splitting again.

What report? Have you tried messing with the report customization options
that show or don't show splits? (Oh, and BTW, almost none of the regulars
here use H&B and nobody who does use it is a regular here. Sometimes we can't
help because some features in H&B are just, well. different in ways we don't
know much about. Take what we say with that in mind.)

One thing from your post worries me: you say you have some amount in splits
"unassigned". If by this you mean that the sum of the split entries does not
match the transaction total, this is not a good thing in Money since Money
isn't smart enough to treat this amount the same as it would, say, an amount
in an un-split transaction with no category assigned. (If I were designing
it, it sure would be…) I would avoid this case if at all possible.

Hi .. I'm a long time Quicken user thinking of moving from Q2002 H&B
to Money 2007 H&B since I was able to get that version. I converted my
file and all seemed ok. I'm now comparing reports from Q to Mny, and
they're not adding up.

So far I've found that several split transactions (and I assume all)
do not show up in my report. For example, I split a $100 cash debit
between $10 parking expense and $40 meals. The remaining $50 is
uncategorized. The parking and meals do not show up in my report. To
me, the transaction looks good. I've got other parking & meals
transactions that are not split, and they do show up in the report.

Any advice? This is abviously a show-stopper for moving to Money.
Thanks.
