Default Re: Recurring transactions

If that was what the design called for, it does make the code right. The
design may not make sense, or may not seem as useful as what M01 did, but it
is what it is. Learn to use Forecast Cash Flow. The rest of us have.

While it may be written that way it does not calculate
the after balance correctly. Just because a programer
wrote the code that way DOES NOT make it right. If the
after balance feature cannot be trusted then it should be
left off rather than making people hunt down the
reasoning behind the incorrect calculations.

I know you don't want to hear this, but that was the way it's written, it is
not broken, and it is working correctly, even if that's not the way you
think is correct. See http://www.bollar.org/msmoney/#Q34. This has also been

Default Recurring transactions

I switched from Money 2000 to Money 2004 recently. I
have noticed that on the bill and deposit manager looking
at a 30 day window for example that if you have a
recurring transaction it will only display the next
occurence of that transaction. For example I have setup
my pay check as a recurring deposit each week. But
looking at the 30 window only shows one upcoming
transaction on that Friday. The following Friday's
deposit is not even listed until the currently displayed
transaction is recorded. The problem comes when you try
to forcast your balance by highlighting a range of
transactions you end up with the wrong ending balance. I
did not have this problem with Money 2000 as it displayed
all the recurring transactions for whatever period of
time was desired. And by highlighting a range of
transactions you would get an accurate ending balance.
Does anyone have information on how to fix this problem?
I talked with Microsoft and was told "that was the way it
written and it is not broken". But it is not working
correctly please someone help.
