Well, it looks like this fixed it. (Nice easy fix is what I
like.)

I also tried a few other methods, none of which corrected
the problem:
1. Run "salv.exe" with either Level 1 or Level 2 repair
(Level 2 made the file 50% bigger too).
2. File -> RepairMoneyFile -> StandardRepair (I think this
does the same as (1).

Thanks,
Martin

Do you have a scheduled 0.01 transaction?

Symptom: Money 2004 register gives different balance when
the view is changed to show only unreconciled transactions or
in some other way.

First, try the simple thing:

File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair


If still no joy, try this one posted by Mark:

: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 [as a statement from your bank]
:10. This should reveal the hidden transactions. So you
:can now do with them
:as you wish (Delete, modify, etc).' - Mark

You might be able to shortcut this by doing the QIF export without
deleting. Look for any 0.01 transactions in the QIF export since
August. Strip the QIF file down to that one transaction, and import
the modified QIF as a statement from your bank.

Default Money 04 account balance rounding error


I am using Money 2004 Deluxe, and when I was checking my
account balance (checking account) against what the bank
said, I found I was off by $0.01 (Money was higher). After
going back through my 15 months of transactions, I couldn't
find any discrepancies (I had encountered an
off-by-one-cent error previously that was a data entry
problem). After adjusting some dates on a few
transactions, I found that the balance had corrected itself
(thus matching the bank)! After checking a backup copy of
my data, I realised that the only difference was that I was
choosing to display "All Dates" instead of just "Last 3
Months". Switching back and forth changed the balance that
Money displays.

Is this a known bug? Where can I submit a bug
report/notify support of this problem?

Thanks,
Martin
