If Microsoft indeed removed it, it's the right step. The official document
from the bank is your paper statement, and the purpose of the balancing is
putting your Money register in sync with the official bank information. If
the balance amount that bank gives you when you download transactions is the
total of the records in their online banking system (as opposed to the
number taken from their "real" account database), then it will always match,
even if online transactions are missing several real ones. Through my
experience with Bank One, there indeed were several occasions when some real
transactions never appeared in their online system - the bank never felt
like it was a big problem.

You should always balance only by the paper statement, even if in fact this
functionality is still in Money somewhere.
