Money 5.0: Unable to Select Correct Loan (160814)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q160814 SYMPTOMS
In Money version 5.0, if you mark a Loan account as Closed, you may be
unable to select the last loan in the drop-down lists. Whatever loan you
select, the actual account selected is the account just above it on the
list; so you are unable to select the last account on the list.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft does not recommend that you mark Loan accounts as closed.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have more than one closed loan account, you must create dummy
loan accounts for each one so you can import the desired loan from the
list.
NOTE: Any dummy loans you create show in your account lists and may show
in reports such as your Net Worth report. You can customize reports to
exclude these loan accounts.
This problem is seen in the Import list of the Loan Calculator
Wizard and in the list of accounts used when entering a loan payment
transaction in the Account Register.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Money version 5.0.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
If you want to close a Loan account, you can create a new loan
account with dummy values. Name this loan so that it sorts alphabetically
after your other loans, for example: ZZZZZ.
When selecting a loan in a list box, you must choose the loan below the
desired loan. The dummy account you created, which appears at the bottom of
the list, allows you to select your actual last loan account.
In some lists you can type the first few letters of the desired loan to
bring up the correct loan. The Import option in the Loan Calculator Wizard
does not allow this, so you must choose the loan below the one desired.
