 * This operation cannot be performed.

 * Msmoney caused an invalid page fault in module Mnyob99.dll.
 * Msmoney caused an invalid page fault in module.

You may receive several of these error messages before you return to Windows.

= CAUSE =

This behavior can occur if the name of the employee stock option grant is longer than 23 characters after Money adds the year (YY) and “Grant” to the end of the investment name.

When you create an employee stock option grant, Money adds the year (YY) and “Grant” to the end of the name of the investment you select for the grant.

= RESOLUTION =

To prevent this problem from occurring, shorten the name for the investment you want to use for your employee stock option grant to 14 characters or less. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Money navigation bar, click Investments.
 * 2) In the left pane, click Positions View.
 * 3) Right-click the investment you want to use for your employee stock option grant, and then click Go To Details.
 * 4) Click Rename.
 * 5) In the New Name box, type a name for the investment that is 14 characters or less in length, and then click OK.

= STATUS =
