= SYMPTOMS =

When you cancel an Automatic Payment (Apay) by clicking Cancel Automatic Payment on the shortcut or Edit menu in the Payment Calendar, you receive a message that has inaccurate information.

= CAUSE =

You can cancel an Automatic Payment in the Payment Calendar by clicking the right mouse button on the bill in question. A shortcut menu allows you to click Cancel Automatic Payment. You can also click Cancel Automatic Payment on the Edit menu. This results in the following message:

Do you want to permanently cancel this Automatic Payment?

If you click Yes, Money will cancel it during your next connection.

If the most recent instance of this payment is already scheduled in the Account Register, you can prevent it from being paid by voiding it there. To void it, highlight it in the register (it will have an “A,” in the Number field), point to Mark As on the Edit menu, and then click Void. Be sure to send the instructions before exiting Money.

This information is incorrect. There is no “A” in the number field.

In Money version 3.0, you would see an A or an E in the number field for Apays and Epays respectively. However in Money 4.0, both Apays and Epays show envelopes with lightening bolts.

For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
