Balance on Account List does not match balance if I view all |
|
|
Recently MS Money 2004 seems to have flaked and executed some Bills and
Deposits for 2005 and caused my account balance on the account list to
not be correct. If I view the account the balance was also incorrect
if I only viewed unreconciled transactions.
After reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/838713
Methods 1 and 2 did not fix the problem. I then exported the
information into a loose QIF file and read it. It appears eight
transcations were automatically executed for their next dates in 2005.
They did not show up in the account but I could see them if I chose "Go
to Payee:" from the Bills and Deposits screens. I could then void each
of the transactions so their amounts would be zero.
Just curious if anyone else experienced this. I have been using Money
for about a year.
MS does not really explain why it occurs.

Howard,
Detail transactions do not reflect the Opening Balance that you may have set
in "Account Settings."
Got to Banking>Accounts List, then right-click on the account in question.
Select Account Settings; scroll down to Opening Balance. Make a note and see
if this is the difference.

To be clear, I fixed the problem. As I said above it appears that MS
Money created 8 transactions all with dates in 2005 of some of my
existing Bills and Deposits transactions. If I viewed the account
details, they were not visible even if I chose to to view all.
I found them if I exported the register to a QIF file. They were
clearly there in the QIF file. I was then able to find them in Money
if I did a view Payee from my Bills and Deposits screen of offending
transactions.
So it was:
1) pretty odd that MS Money created them
2) did not display them in the register
3) did export them
4) only let me mark them void (which gave them a 0 amount).
Once I marked the eight void, my balance in the check register matched
the balance on the account list...as it should.
An example of what I could see in the exported data is below.

I suspect that on 1/1/2005 I suddenly will see these transactions as
voided in the register. We will see. I am not inspired enough to
change my system clock.

You are correct.
The reason that you did not see them was due to the 2005 date. Why they had
a 2005 date is a wonderment.

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one having this problem. I tried
everything from the 838713 except the QIF solution so I'll go back and try
that. I'll let you know how it went in a couple of days.
