I suspect there isn't enough trend data yet for it to provide any meaningful
data. What about adding a few dummy transactions (to make something look
like it happens weekly) to see whether it does anything, removing them
afterwards, of course!

I am a new Money user: I installed the software and
initially set up my transactions starting from April
10th last month.

I'm keen to get Money working for me, so I really wanted
to get AutoBudget suggesting some budget targets for me.
I realised that it doesn't work with less than a month's
worth of transactions, so I've been waiting for today
to reach the month's target )).

Unfortunately, I just tried to create a budget with
AutoBudget and it still isn't filling in the categories
I want it to. Nearly all the categories have zero budget;
the only ones that don't are the ones set for recurring
transactions. I don't want to budget just these categories,
I want Money to look at how much I've spent in the past
month in ALL my categories and budget them for me.

Thinking that this 'one month of transactons' restriction
might be one
full calendar month, I then cheated by moving my first
transaction back to April 1st: that way I get the whole of
April (even if the amounts are a bit skewed). Guess what:
AutoBudget still doesn't work.

Can someone tell me what is going on? I am using Microsoft
Money 2004 on accounts in Turkish Lira. I looked through
the archives for this group but I couldn't find this
problem.

Thanks,

Jan
