Here is how to change the interest rate or credit in Money 2005 or I
guess Money 2006 for a credit card:

1. Go to Account Settings by right-clicking the account on the
account list.

2. If the Account Type drop-down is grayed out, disable online
access for that account

3. If the credit card is enabled for online access, disable that.
[M05]Banking-> AccountTools-> ManageOnlineServices. Click the credit
card account, and choose StopUsingOnlineServices....

4. Go to Account Settings by right-clicking the account on the
account list.

5. Change the Account Type drop-down to Bank. If the Account Type
drop-down is grayed out, you probably did not disable online access
for that account. (changing to Bank also seemed to work, but gave
a different setup)

6. Change the interest rate. You can enter the credit limit as a
negative value for "minimum balance".

7. Change the Account Type drop-down to Credit Card.

8. Set up the credit card for online access again if you like.

This has come up before and I'm not sure I recall the answer, so I'll bluff
and others will correct me.

IIRC, this happens if you have the account setup to download and the way to
fix it is to remove the download association and then fix your settings then
set it up for download again. Either that or ??? DRP? Advanced Register?
Somebody throw me a bone here...

Thanks.

New question: when I was creating a new credit card account, one of the
questions in Money 2006 was my Credit Limit. I remember that it wasn't
required, and it said that it was OK if I didn't have this information.
Well, I have it now, but how do I add my credit limit?

I've tried clicking on "Change account settings" in the Account Register,
but all of the information in the "Credit Information" section is read-only.

Thanks,
Shane.

Answers in order:

1) Yes. Create a Credit Card Account or just a garden variety Liability
Account with an opening balance of $0. When you pre-pay, transfer that
amount TO the card account. When you spend, enter expenses against that
account. Balance should remain negative as seen in the register and positive
as seen in the list of accounts.

2) Sure looks that way.

Greetings,

I have a pre-paid MasterCard. Is it possible to set this up?

I'm using Money 2006 Standard Edition for Canada. Has Microsoft abandoned
Money? I haven't seen it for sale for a few years.

Thanks,
Shane.
