MS Money Sunset Customize Report Freezes (Windows 10)

Domanda
-
Under Windows 10 MS Money Sunset edition has been running fine as late as a few days ago.
Today I entered Money, posted some transactions and pulled up a transaction report.
The report ran fine. I then tried to customize the report date. I click on the customize link,
Money locks up and the customize option screen never comes up.
I used task manager to stop Money and tried again and got the same result.
I used task manager to stop Money again and then tried the same thing using
the Money sample account and experienced the same result. As far as I can, all other
Money non-report related functions which I normally use are working. It is only when I try and customize a report
that Money locks up. This is the first day I have used Money since the latest
Windows 10 Anniversary update was done. So my guess is that this problem Is related to
that update. I searched around the web and have not found any similar problem reports.
I will keep looking for a solution prior to rolling back the lastest Windows 10 update. Any help
on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Cal,
I reinstalled the Sunset Home & Business version which I was using and it appears the report customize function is working again.
I also put the mentioned DLL into place.
As old as the Money program is, it has always seemed easy to use, meets my needs and I would sure miss it should it go away.
Thanks for helping with a resolution to this problem.

You could check that the problem does not occur with sample.mny.
That typically resides in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2007".
Assuming the problem does not occur with that file, I would return
to your regular Money file (you can use the list at the bottom of
File). I would start with File->RepairMoneyFile->QuickFileRepairIf the problem continues,
File->RepairMoneyFile->StandardFileRepair level 2If the problem persists,
File->RepairMoneyFile->StandardFileRepair level 1Note that level 1 will delete any customized reports, but you should be able to make new customized reports.

Cal,
I tried the sample Money file and two other live Money files and experienced the same result. I had a play Money file on my other machine
which is running Windows 10 but had not received the Windows 10 Anniversary update and the report and customize feature worked without
any problem. Later on I will take one of my live files over to that machine to see if the problem shows up there. At this point I think the problem might
be related to the Windows 10 update, but since I haven't read any similar problem reports, it might be something else.

Cal,
I took the desktop sample Money file which had report customization problems over to my Windows 10 laptop machine which
has not had the Anniversary update applied yet, and had no problem generating or customizing reports there.
I know reinstalling Money on my desktop is an option but then again I probably l have to mess with the registry again.

Cal,
I also tried the Windows 10 compatibility troubleshooter steps as well as Money level 1/2 repair steps and that didn't solve the problem either.

I would reinstall Microsoft Money Deluxe Sunset on the problem computer. Then put the patched DLL into place again. The reinstall does not get rid of your *.mny or *.mbf files.
There should not be any compatibility settings or registry changes required.

Which dll update is referred to in the above solution? Tried update of the mnyob99.dll after doing a reinstall, and the customize reports option still hangs. Thanks!sabato 25 febbraio 2017 21:47

That's the one.
I suggest you consider File->RepairMoneyFile->StandardFileRepair level 1
That will remove your existing customized reports, and then you can make new ones.

I had the same problem. It occurs because I use a second monitor in addition to my laptop screen. If you use MS Money last on the external monitor and then you detach the laptop then when you run MS Money on the laptop alone the screen freezes when you try to customize a report. This is because it tries to open the customization window on the external monitor which does not exist. If you try to correct the problem through the windows, settings, display command to select using only one display, it will not solve the problem.
The solution I found is the following.
1. Run MS Money with the two monitors. Move the MS Money screen to the laptop screen before exiting MS Money. Select a report and try to customize it. Move the customization form also on the laptop screen.
2. Exit MS Money while it is on the laptop screen.
3. Run MS Money on the laptop screen this time , just to verify that it works. Run again a customization report and see that the customization form appears on the laptop screen.
4. Exit MS Money.
Now you can use MS Money on the laptop alone with no problems.

PS.
If you forget to follow the above steps and travel with your laptop alone you are out of luck. You can only fix the problem when you return home and connect an external monitor again.

Nice point that the problem could be Customize window somehow being off of the screen. This search will bring up some techniques that can be used if a window is off of the screen. If you are off with your laptop, this search may bring up something that works for you in that case"

I managed to fix this by deleting the registry value where the dialog position is stored:
- Close MS Money
- Open Registry Editor
- Navigate to the following key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Money\14.0
- Delete the following value: FindDlgPos
- Restart MS Money
Hope this helps someone else!

Fantastic!
I love MS Money and just started having the very same report customization fixes today.
Repairs did not work.
Registry solution above worked perfectly.
Thank you so much, asureshkumar!
