I think that is "C:\ProgramData" in Vista with a SYMLINKD alias of
"C:\Users\All Users". The SYMLINKD might cause problems for some
programs.

"C\Documents and Settings\All Users" in Windows 2000/XP is located at
"C\Program Data" in Windows Vista. This causes issues for some programs.

Also, the contents of "C\Program Data" are sometimes "virtualized" to
"C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData" if a
program isn't explicitly "Run as Administrator" by right-clicking the
program shortcut and choosing that option. As such, any attempted
modifications to the original files will probably redirect here. This
usually isn't a problem if a single user is using a single logon, but if
multiple users are involved, each will have their own "virtualized" copy
of the data.

Fixing these problems may involve modifying any directories created
under "C:\Program Data" by the invoicing module to allow full control
for whichever users need access to that data.

Since you use Vista, there's some possibility that file permissions are
the root of your problems. Let's save those for later, or appeal to
other readers, since I'm not an authority.

You have a newer version of Money than I, but I don't think much
changed in the invoice area.

* Go to the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Money\17.0\Invoice
One or more of these folders may be hidden. Let us know if you don't
know how to unhide them.

* Edit this file with the NotePad editor:
2008Invoice.ntd
Again, I have Money 2007, so I'm making a SWAG at the file name. It
will definitely be a ".ntd" file.
I recommend you make a backup copy of this file before you change it.

* Find the line that goes with your custom invoice. It will start with
the name you chose and look something like this:
New Life - blue/1100/850/portrait/usr9.htm/0
I named my invoice "New Life - blue", and Money stored it in the file
usr9.htm.
This file lists all the invoice templates, and controls the order in
which they appear in the drop-down.

* Move this line to the top of the file. Take the opportunity to sort
the rest of the lines in any order you like.

* Save and close 2008Invoice.ntd

Your custom invoice will now be at the top of the drop-down list. I'm
90% sure that will make it the default--I did this for myself, but I've
slept since then.

Money typically defaults to the last invoice you used.

What version of Money are you using?

What version of Windows?

Default money plus home and business documentation

I am just learning Money Plus Home and Business. The documentation that MS
supplies on line is not very useful. Is there better documentation somewhere?

For instance, I want the invoice that I designed to be my default invoice.
I want to email this invoice to my clients. Is there a way to do this?
