Under the options for the account, is there a starting balance of 8.26? I
had this same problem and was fixed by clearing this value to 0

What I would want to try on a copy of a problem Money 2003 or Money
2004 file is this, to see if an easier method could be used:

1. Make a copy of your Money data file.
2. Open that copy.
3. Export that account as a loose QIF file
4. Import the QIF file as a statement from my bank.

I can not test this since I don't have a file with the problem, but
you could perhaps. When Money 2003 or Money 2004 does an import of a
QIF file as a "statement from my bank" it is pretty aggressive about
looking for duplicates.

Ok so I still don't know what the problem was or where
the error came about...but I found a poor workaround.
Read the thread All Transactions Balance vs. Unreconciled
Transactions Balance...

'1. Make a copy of your Money data file.
2. Open that copy.
3. Delete ALL transactions in the problem account
4. Export that account as a QIF file
5. Examine the QIF file in Notepad.
6. If it is not empty and shows one or more transactions,
then those are
likely the culprits.
7. Note the details of those transactions
8. Open up your original file
9. Import the QIF file
10. This should reveal the hidden transactions. So you
can now do with them
as you wish (Delete, modify, etc).' - Mark

Anyways, I couldn't find an error or a hidden
transactions, but I still had an amount of $8.26
unaccounted for in an account with zero transactions and
zero opening balance...someone at microsoft can't do math.

So I exported the individual accounts to qif files and
then imported them and no more accounting error.

This error should be documented in the microsoft
knowledge data base somewhere, but then again they don't
admit to an error until they have a fix...which they
don't have yet so...I hope no one else runs into this
accounting error, and that if you do that you notice it
promptly (as it can really screw you up financially).

I am having a similar problem. The account register
balance displays the correct amount when it is set to
view 'all transactions covering all dates'. The account
register balance is incorrect (off by $8.26) if set to
any other time frame, or when viewing 'unreconciled'
or 'unaccepted' transactions, which there are none. The
account list page always shows the incorrect amount too,
being off by $8.26.

So according to microsoft money 2004 I can make an
additional $8.26 in my account by adjusting the
transaction dates or viewing unreconciled or unaccepted
transactions. Wish it were true, but it's not.

Any solutions as of yet?

yes, both today's balance and ending balance agree in the
account register.

I have also attempted the file repair but the repair did
not find any issues.

There are two balances shown at the bottom of the register: Today's
balance, and ending balance. I assume they both agree.

I am having an issue in which my account register balance
(which is correct and matches my bank balance) does not
match the balance displayed in my account list page.

Here are the symptoms:

1) All withdrawals and deposits are reconciled (I
download all transactions daily).
2) The account register w/ the detailed transaction data
is correct and matches the bank as well as my manual
calculations.
3) The account list page displays is always $0.27 less
than the account register page.
4) Only happens for one account (my checking account).

I have tried the following as troubleshooting:

1) Uninstall and reinstall MS Money 2004 Premium
2) Install MS Money temporarily on another computer.
3) Made a test copy of my money file and started deleting
entries from the checking account register. Went back
almost a full year with no change...still shows $0.27
lower than it should in the account list.

I'm at a loss, anyone have some ideas? Is there a
command line switch I can use to get Money to re-do all
its calculations on all pages?
