Update.
It's not entirely fixed. Upon closer examination I discovered that most of
my other credit card payments CAN be modified in the credit card account.
For some reason this one cannot. I thought that was normal operation
because I have seen that message before. Not sure what the criteria is for
determining which transfer/credit card payments can only be modified in the
account they came from. My downloads are working fine, and this transaction
has been cleared so I guess I'll just leave it. The other thing I
discovered as the result of searching the Microsoft KB is that the error
saying that the transaction could not be recorded indicates a corrupt data
file. Since that error went away after I modified the other side of this
transactions I'm going to "assume" that corruption has now been repaired.
Quick and standard file repairs find no bad records.

Amy,

Thanks again for the tips, but it's fixed now. It was a bad ePay
transaction. I'm guessing that bad transaction was making the transaction
matching function fail. You can read my entire description of my findings
back a few posts in this thread.

downloads.

So try stopping everything and see if it runs. If it does you can
attempt to narrow down the culprit.

FIXED!

I fixed it. Following is a detailed description of what I found/did. Maybe
it will help another user.

OK. Having tried everything else I figured that since it was dying AFTER
downloading transactions, maybe it had something to do with transaction
matching and maybe there was something wrong with one of my transactions in
Money that it was trying to match to. Based on that assumption I decided to
edit and then resave all my unreconciled transactions by simply adding a "1"
to the memo field and saving. All went fine until I came to an ePay
transaction for one of my credit cards. I was able to open the
transaction and all looked fine with a category of Credit Card Payment and a
sub category of the account it was supposed to go to, however, when I added
the "1" to the memo field, I got an error saying the transaction could not
be recorded. No other information. So I went to the account for that credit
card and found the corresponding entry for that ePay. I knew I should not
be able to edit this transaction here because you can only edit this type of
transaction in the account it came from, but to my surprise I was able to
double click it, modify the memo field and save the record. Mystified, I
tried to double click it again to see if my change stuck, and this time I
was given the message that I could only modify this transaction in the
account it came from! So I went back to the problem account and once again
tried to add a "1" to the memo. Now it let me save it. However, the category
changed from Credit Card Payment to Transfer for some reason. I changed it
back to Credit Card Payment and saved it again. I then downloaded my
transactions from the bank and got no error. One of the transactions that
was downloading was in fact the problem credit card payment.
My guess is that whatever was wrong with that one transaction was making the
transaction matching function die.
Took me all day to fix this. I hope someone else finds this on google some
day and it saves them a bunch of time

Did you try File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair then?

Amy,

Thanks for the tip, but Money starts fine for me and does everything else
fine as well except downloading transactions. I don't have J Fax.

Cal,

Thanks for the idea, but I did everything exactly as you instructed and I
still get the exact same error. I kind of suspected I would since I can
take this Money data file to a different computer with a clean installation
of Money on it and get there same error there too. Sure sounds like there is
something wrong with the file.

Steve

explorer. Try money again.

I had a problem with money not loading and found I had to
stop J fax from loading to get money to run.

I don't know about the crash, but this should help the other
symptoms: in Internet Explorer delete your browser temporary files
with Tools-> InternetOptions-> DeleteFiles.

You might want to decrease
the size of the Tools-> InternetOptions-> Settings Amount of disk
space to use to perhaps 50MB with dialup or 20 MB with broadband.

Then in Money do File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair for good
measure.

All of the sudden Money 2004 crashes after downloading transactions from my
bank. The download completes, but when the list of statements appears,
which shows that I have new transactions, it immediately crashes. After
that, I can access the account in question, and it says there are 9
transactions to view, but they do not actually appear.
See screenshot for exact error http://home.sc.rr.com/szurlo/crash.jpg

I have restored a backup and redone the download a number of times. No help.
I have done both a quick and a level 2 file recovery. No help.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Money. No help.
I have even installed Money on a different computer and tried downloading to
that one. Same error.
Please someone tell me there is a fix for this. My entire financial life
is in this file.

Thanks,

Steve Zurlo
