SYMPTOMS
When you use the spin-off wizard in Microsoft Money to record two spin-offs for one investment, the second spin-off is not recorded. After you complete the spin-off wizard, the second spin-off does not appear in the Name column. This behavior occurs although you receive the following message when you finish the wizard:

The spin-off has been successfully completed.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the two spin-offs have the same spin-off date. The spin-off wizard cannot process two spin-offs for one investment that have the same date.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:  When you create the second spin-off, type a different date in the Date of spin-off box.

Note You must type a date that is later than the first spin-off date. After you complete the spin-off wizard, modify the spin-off transaction to indicate the correct date. To do this, follow these steps:  In the Name column, expand . Click Edit. Type the correct date in the Date field, and then click OK. </li></ol>
