I've also had that problem, and arrived at the same
solution as you!

I've had the same problem starting with Money 2003 and
continuing with Money 2004. My 'work-around' is to
manually enter any interest earned directly in the
account rather than entering it in the account balance
pop-up screen. It's probable that bank charges would have
the same problem(?)

I'm also interested in any MVP reply to your question.

When I try to manually balance, after entering the
Statement Date, Ending Balance, Interest Earned, I select
Next and nothing happens. I've done this over and over.
Only way to get out is to cancel. I just upgraded from a
previous version of Money. Everything else seems to be
working ok. Any clues?
