Money 2004 still has duplicate budget item bug

#1 01-28-2004, 11:21 PM

Maybe this "answers" the question I've had --

I've been having a problem putting scheduled bills into the budget...
because they then screw up cashflow by appearing as budget items *and*
scheduled bills. Is this a known bug?

If I am mis-understanding Eric's post... is there a way around the problem I
describe here? I'm using 2003.

Thanks!

In a similar vein, MS2004 did not fix the budget problem in which two
scheduled paychecks (for example) that do not overlap in time (i.e.,
scheduled paycheck #1 is for the period Jan - June and scheduled
paycheck #2 is for July - December) but are reflected in the budget
like they both run for the entire year.

I was very disappointed to see the duplicate budget item
bug still in Money 2004 Deluxe. Maybe I need to create a
new file and copy/paste all transactions to fix it, but I
was (probably naively) hoping it would just go away.

Specifically, I have 2 duplicate budget items that were
added to my budget automatically because they were a-pays
at one point, long since stopped and deleted in
the "Bills" section however. No way to delete them from
the budget, though...only "Add" and "Edit..." are
available as options. So, the entire budgeting area of
Money is unuseable for me...bummer.

Makes me want to switch back to Quicken and just deal with
the advertisements.
