MS Automatically Generated Garbage

Also known as MS arrogance meaning 'we know what's best for you
because we know you are mostly clueless users.'

I'm having problems with the Budget changing without my permission also,
but have you tried to click on Autobudgets and uncheck all the boxes? The
deficit reduction utility may be involved also.

To me, granted a novice to Money, it seems they are trying to automate
several things and it makes the data you get back unreliable. I think they
are changing the GIGO rule.;-))

I just "upgraded" from Money 97 to Money 2004, and have run into the same
problem. Budgeting was so simple in the old version and was very easy to
adjust - not so in this beast which is slow as well with its use of browser
features and a complex data base structure. I'd be tempted to go back if I
didn't have to re-enter so much data. The Canadian version also has no
depreciation feature for assets such as cars.

I am hoping that by Money 2005 they will have fixed that problem so that the
budget might be useful. I have the same problem and have noticed many
others with it also. I did go to the trouble and fix it once (many budget
categories being off by multiples) only to have the problem resurface after
editing a recurring bill or deposit. I gave up and basically do not
use/trust the budget feature, or lack of feature.

Here is my delema. In Microsoft Money 2004 I have set up
my budget and all was great until I was reviwing my
current budget status. Under some of my expenses it
shows the budgeted amount as double what (and sometimes
triple) what it should be. If I choose one of these
items and click edit it shows the box with the choice of
editing "a Bill in this category" or "An additional
expnese in this category" Under "a Bill in this
category" it has a pull down menu and it shows the same
item more than once. Only one of the identical choices
can be used and it shows the correct information. When I
go back to see if my budget is correct it shows only the
correct amount. Please someone I would love to fix this
problem if possible. The problem here is in the
reveiwing current budget status it makes it look like I
am under budget and that my budget is much higher than it
is. Thanks in advance.
