Default Re: One File, Two Copies of Money, Different Sums, WHY?

Whatever dude. Money adds a random amount of extra dough ($139K) in an
account, and it's MY fault?

The blame has been properly placed: on Bill Gates ship of fools. This
is a terribly buggy program, as many have noted. Too bad, because it's
pretty useful, otherwise. If only the thing knew how to add.

Seith

Yea.......I have a suggestion.......find out what you are doing wrong rather
than blaming it on someone else

After screwing around with it even more, I found out that the total is
ONLY screwed up in the Portfolio when looking at it in:

"Standard View"
"Performace View"

The other views show correct sums. Hmmmmm...

Holy crudsters.... Just "fixed" the problem by doing this:

in Standard view, clicking "customize" and rechecking the checkbox for
investments to watch. Same worked for "Performace View"

By the way, going back in and immediately unchecking "investments to
watch" did NOT recreate the error. It seems to have washed out,
somehow.

Completely crazy, but maybe my random success will help some other
poor soul.

Thanks for the tips. Tried some of them. Nothing worked so far.

Here's an ineresting situation. Since this is only occurring in the
investment accounts, I copied the file and started deleting investment
accounts one by one, figuring that one might be corrupt.

Well, I now have ZERO investment accounts, yet Money still show a
balance of $139,000 in investments. I have no idea where it's getting
that figure, since there are no investment account left at all...

One possibility is different patches. This has been reported once before,
IIRC. You might consider the drill in http://www.bollar.org/msmoney/#Q104.

Default One File, Two Copies of Money, Different Sums, WHY?

Anyone seen anything like this?

My sum of my stock portfolio is WAY off, by a factor of 3. But just on
one computer.

On my wife's computer, SAME file, same version of money, stock
porfolio totals correctly.

Ideas? Besides a slap upside Bill Gates head? (He's in vegas showin'
friggin' watches that download the temperature off the internet and
his finance software can't add... Grrrr.)
