If you want to point something out to MS, there are much better ways than
posting in this newsgroup. (Of course, 1,000,000 times 0 is still 0.) I
don't think they think it's broken, BTW. If you really want to convince them
it's broken, hit 'em where they live: open a support case directly with
them.

I don't think anybody flamed you.

Well, I didn't post to get into a conflict. I posted to
point out to MS that they need to be aware that a feature
available in their software doesn't work the way it
should.

Maybe no one else cares about shoving a ton of floppies
in a computer to do a backup, but I do, and since it's my
money I spent on Microsoft Money I expect it to work.

Those of you who have negative comments towards me, have
fun stuffing floppies in your boxes and flaming. Blah,
blah, blah, I guess you are bored.

To those of you helping to get the point across to MS
that their software is broken - Thank you!

I read some of them. Unfortunately I do not work on the Money team.

Yah, and I'm one of relatively few people here dealing with a 46.4MB Money
file--and I'd never say I'm doing so because archiving doesn't work. I'm
doing so because Money isn't particularly space efficient in its storage.

But what's to deal with? Except for the weekly backup to floppy, I see next
to no difference in my Money file being 46MB or 4.6MB or 460MB. Disk and
removable media capacity continues to be larger and grow faster than my
Money file.

Thanks for confirming what we are all saying. DO NOT ARCHIVE IN MONEY! Steve

No, typically not. This is a forum for user-to-user interaction not
Microsoft to user or, worse, user to Microsoft.

Well, I guess I should have looked at this newsgroup
prior to trying to archive two years worth of data out of
my Money 2004 file. What a disaster that turned out to
be. It took me two days to fix the problems this
caused. This is ridiculous, there are postings on this
same topic in this newgroup and people are claiming they
are having to deal with 45mb Money files because
archiving doesn't work.

MICROSOFT, ARE YOU READING THESE POSTINGS???

What is up with archiving? I don't want to deal with a
10, 20, or 30mb files. I ran through the archiving
function and it trashed my ending balances so the next
time I balanced my checkbook it was so far off there was
no working through it to fix it. I basically ended up
recreating two years worth of data. Can you tell I am
not happy?

Microsoft KB article 76145 claims that after archiving
with MS Money 2004, ending balances are corrected so that
future attempts to balance work correctly. Well, I am
using Money 2004 and archiving just plain does not work.

An explanation from Microsoft to all that have posted on
this topic is in order. Do you think we will get help?

Regards,

Bill
