"Locked" transactions after Restore |
|
|
I'm using Money 2002 and have suffered a hard disk failure. Re-installed
everything and recovered my Money file from a backup.
Now when I go to balance an account, many of the transactions are "locked".
They can't be marked as Cleared or Reconciled (in fact the "C" column can't
be changed). This obviously causes the account to not balance, big time.
The same thing affects more than one account (they are both normal current
accounts).
The transactions can't be changed in any way, deleted, or marked as Void. I
always get a "This transaction cannot be entered" error. The common thing
about the transactions is that they were recurring bills and entered into
the account automatically.
Any help gratefully received - at the moment Money is unusable!!

Many thanks.
This fixed some errors but not others, so it looks as though it's export all
the accounts and import to a fresh file.
It's very odd because I re-restored the file and that looked OK. I had
entered about 3 month's transactions and done a download from Nationwide,
and after that it was corrupt.
Thanks anyway
Martin

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.
Then File->Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.
Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names. |
