It's just part of the perversity of modern living. Glad you've got the
solution you needed. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks, Dick. This was so simple. Yet I searched and
searched in help and even watched the budget planner
video. Why are things so hard to find?

Check the settings for "include in Budget Planner" or something similar in
the Checking Account Details.

I am using Money 2001 Standard and have set up a budget
for the first time. I have multiple accounts in my file,
including a checking account, a cash account, a couple of
credit card accounts, and side accounts for my minor
children. [The children's accounts are actually part of
my checking account. When I balance, I enter their
amounts as a dummy deposit and afterwards make a dummy
withdrawal.] My problem is that the budget creator
only "reads" entries from my cash account, and I need to
track spending in my checking account and my cash
account. What am I doing wrong?
