Yes, but it is not accessible the same way. For other versions open
Money with Start-> Run and enter "msmoney -s" without the quotes into
the box -- assuming the version you are trying to work with is the
most recently installed. If not, you can specify the full path to
the version you are wanting to open.

Does the "Repair Money File" option apply to Money 2002? I don't see it. I
did clear all of my internet files and run the salvage utility from the KB
article referenced in your previous post, but this didn't help anything.
The downloaded transaction that I had deleted has started showing in the
register again (this happened before I tried the suggested steps), but I
still can't accept the transaction.

I do appreciate the time you've spent trying to help me. Thanks!

In Internet Explorer delete your browser temporary files with
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DeleteFiles.

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

I thought I'd just delete the transaction that won't reconcile. Apparently
that wasn't a good idea either. The transaction doesn't show any more, but
MS Money insists I have an unread transaction.

Now, I've just restored a 3-week-old backup and started re-reconciling
transactions and re-balancing accounts. I've run into what seems to be
another annoying bug... I have a downloaded transaction that I can't Accept.
I click the Accept button but it's like I'm not clicking anything. I right
click the transaction and select Accept and still nothing happens.

I've been using MS Money for years... I've never been this frustrated with
the desktop application (though there was an extended time when the PPC
version was equally as frsustrating / useless).

Do you have an older backup? A corrupt file can create a corrupt backup.

Thanks for your assistance, and yes, I am using Money 2002.

When I run 'msmoney -s', MS Money opens and starts "repairing" the file. It
gives the message:

C:\xxx.mny is corrupted or is not a Money data file. Make sure you are
opening a file with an MNY extension. If you have chosen the correct file
and it could not be accessed, you will need to open your most recent backup
file to access your data.

When I click OK, MS Money continues opening the file, but the problem with
my balance remains. Using a backup doesn't improve anything.

Reconfiming you are using Money 2002 as you state in the subject.

I'm having a problem with a credit card account showing the wrong balance.
The difference in the wrong balance and the correct balance is the amount of
my previous statement balance.

When I click "balance this account", what MS Money shows as the amount owed
last month is actually double what was owed.

The Account List screen always overstates the balance by the amount owed
last month.

When viewing the register transactions, if I have it set to only show
unreconcile transactions (my preferred view), the balance is overstated by
the amount owed last month.

If I change the account transaction view to show all transactions, the
balance shows correctly. However, the Account List screen is still
incorrect in this case.

I can't figure out how to correct this. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
