The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Money 99 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Money 99, when modifying an account number under a payee’s Details, the Account Number field for any given payee is restricted to 22 characters

-or-

When entering the account number for an electronic payee (Epay), you receive the following error message:

Please enter your 1 to 22 character account number at this merchant or payee. If you don’t know the account number, or if this is a personal check, enter your name.

= CAUSE =

Money 99 only allows you to enter 22 characters of an account number for a given payee. This behavior differs from Money 98, which allowed you to enter 25 characters of the account number.

This behavior is by design in Money 99.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you import a file containing an account number longer than 22 characters, Money 99 will allow you to maintain the longer number. However, if you delete the longer account number, any new account numbers that you enter are limited to 22 characters.
