access to portfolio

Bob, Thanks for taking the time. Sorry the info is a little muddled. You no doubt know by now my computer knowledge is quite limited.

The computer was built locally, so all parts are not the same brand. It is Windows me and shows Windows 2001 when MS Money is opened.

In my portfolio, I have accounts in different financial insitutions. I sold both mutual funds, I had in one insitution, which should have left a bal of -0-. It left a bal of .01, which I cannot make go away, nor can I return from the transaction page to the portfolio. It also does not work to restart the computer-ck MS Money-ck investing then when I ck portfolio, I get the message "Microsoft has commited an error. MSOFD.DLL.(I rechecked these letters) try restarting your computer."

Thanks, if you can help more. If not Thanks very much for the time you have already taken!

"Microsoft has commited an error." is one I've never seen.

You'll have to call them and ask if there is some unpublished information about it.

Sorry about that.

Bob

Just on the off chance that it makes a difference, I checked again and will give you the exact wording of the whole message.

Ms has caused an error
Ms money will now close
if you continue to experence problems try restarting your computer.

I`ll follow your advise and give MS a call. Thanks again!

Leopold

When you call in, if you can't relay the error message, your call may seem to go nowhere. I know that MS Money will emit some error about the DLL noted, but was hoping you could supply the error message without a typo.

Again, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Ms+has+caused+an+error%22 has zero reports of such a message. Checking Google groups find 1 hit, but it's Microsoft Word.

As it stands, the first link I supplied about the DLL in question likely has your answer. But without an accurate error message for me to narrow it down, I leave it to you to figure it out.

Sorry, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Bob

At the risk of becoming a pest, I will try to get it right this time.

Msmoney has caused an error in MSOFD.DLL.
Msmoney will now close.
if you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.

If you feel you have already spent too much time on this problem, I understand. Thanks again

Leopold

Where it says "if you continue", the i in if should be a capital I.

I have experienced this same problem. While in the "Investing" Money window I got the error message "Msmoney has caused an error in PFCPLANS.DLL..." and when I went to the "Reports" window I got a "msmoney has caused an error in MSOFD.DLL...." I got some suggestions from Gateway and did a Money uninstall/reinstall and backup and had the same problem again. I then installed an older backup and when I tried working on "investments" again I got the same PFCPLANS.DLL message. So, I reinstalled the older backup again and am not going to work with that one line item in "Investing". As if any of this makes sense.

Glad to see I'm not alone.
Windows ME, MS Money 2001 and both those error messages have been haunting me for 3 years. Only in Investing and only when I "really" need to do something. I have discovered that if you...one by one...inactivate your investment accounts the program will work. Problem is circular. You need to disable the accounts you want to work with in order for the program to work with those kind of accounts. I have also discovered after much cursing that on occasion, very rarely, it will work just fine.
Need a super-geek to solve this one.

Thank you for that info. I think, if I get really brave some day, I may try your suggestions although I don't understand the logic. In any case, we're back on top.

Some day we may get help.
