 Microsoft Money 98 == Microsoft Money 99 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you select the “How I’m Doing on My Budget” report, you may receive two consecutive error messages:

There has been an error reading or writing the file “.”

When you click OK, you receive the second error message:

Not enough memory is available. If you have several applications open at the same time, you might need to close one of them before starting Money.

When you click OK on this second error message, you are left with a completely blank report.

= CAUSE =

These error messages occur when the following conditions are true:


 * You assign a budget amount to categories without assigned subcategories in the Budget area.

-and-


 * There are no transactions in the Account Register that use any of the categories that have budget amounts assigned to them.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve these error messages, you need to assign subcategories to all categories that use budget amounts or the transactions recorded in the Account Register, and then run the “How I’m Doing on My Budget” report.

= MORE INFORMATION =

You may experience this problem if you have deleted all the subcategories that have been pre-setup in Money, intending to develop a working budget for observing your spending habits.

Or, if you have recently converted from Quicken, you may not be accustomed to entering subcategories for your transactions.
