I recently got a copy of Money 2004 and coverted my Quicken 99 database.
The conversion went fine and it mostly all works, but when I try to view my
portfolio in performance mode, Money crashes. The crash is a little odd in
that Windows doesn't ask to send an error report to Microsoft. Any ideas?

For those technically inclined, I attached a debugger to the msmoney.exe
process and repeated the steps that lead to the crash. The debugger reports
a lot of floating-point overflow exceptions just before the process
terminates, so perhaps Money thinks I have a zero-cost basis for some of my
securities and it's not telling me what the problem is - it's just crashing.
This isn't terribly friendly behaviour - Money should detect that a problem
is going to occur and inform me where the problem is so I can take
corrective action. There don't seem to be any patches to Money 2004
available that might fix this problem.
