This is the problem. When I edit past the first month I am told that
Money wants to take me to the first occurrence of the bill - I am not
allowed to edit other than from the very first instance and then it is
either a 'one-off' or else all of the future payments.

Yep - looks like this is what I'lll be doing.

Thanks for the reply.

Why not set up 2 bill series?

One will be "as is" but you will put a final payment date in the relevant
field so on that date the bill series becomes ineffective.

Then set up second bill series starting when the other expires for the new
higher amount?

Cash flow, planner etc should be happy with this (I think!)

But I want my super duper bit of software to do this for me. Keeping a
diary note to remind me to change a payment at a date in the future would
of course work, but I'd rather Money was able to do this for me.

Well that's a workaround for what I want, thanks for that.

Two ways I have found.....1) On your bills and deposits
page, edit bill series for the new amount, then go back in
and edit single occurrence for the months of the old
amount. OR
2.) End the current bill series at the end of the last
payment at the current amount, and then create a new bill
with the new amount beginning with the future date of
change you want payments to change.

Depending on how many months in the future #2 might be
more timesaving.

Hope this helps.

What version ?
With 2004 you can set a date for the last payment - and then set up a new
bill starting the next month for the new ammount.

With 98 you could change the amount and set the date of next payment to when
it changes and then create one-off payments for each month in between. Or
create a new payment set to start in the future and be reminded by the fact
that 2 payments suddenly appear on the register (delete the old one then).

In M02 and up, this can be done relatively easily. In M01 and earlier,
there's no good way to get there. Which version? (The version in question is
always relevant information in a post.)

Default MS Money question

Anyone help with the following:

I want to change the amount of a monthly paid bill. The amount though
will not be changing for several months yet. When I try to amend the
details I am told that Money can only change the first instance of the
bill and then all recurring ones.

How do I keep the next few months the same but just amend the ones after
this? There must be a way other than remembering to do it nearer the
time.

TIA
