Re: Live ID

#1 08-14-2007, 11:46 AM

I am echoing Jim's question.

I have been a MS Money user since 1995 and have upgraded every year or two
and am presently running 2007 Premium on my laptop and desktop.

I know that MS incorporated several functions online that used to be
available offline.....loan comparisons for instance...but there are times
when I would like to be able to use Money offline...especially when I am
traveling and do not have internet access.

There is a bullet on the Money startup page that would seem to allow opening
the Money file offline but it will not work for me on desktop or laptop. It
takes me to a screen that wants an internet connection.

What am I doing wrong?

Try first starting IE and ticking File->WorkOffline. Then open
Money.

If that problem persists, consider in Money
Tools->Settings->ProgramSettings->(Display

Cal,
Your first suggestion..."work offline in IE"...solved it.
I have just discovered this forum...what a treasure trove of information. I
can't believe I have never found it before...after over ten years of using MS
Money.
Thanks for your prompt and knowledgeable response.

Roger
