Q) Why did the upgrade to M05 mangle Food:Groceries to Groceries? How do I undo this?
[Relevant to Money2005 (v.14) and up]
A) After a decade of upgrades without mangled categories, M05 just had to be different. Only Microsoft knows for sure why this had to be.
To fix it, go to the categories page and Move Groceries to a category named Food:Groceries and move Dining Out to a NEW category named Food:Dining Out. Money will ask if you want to create these new subcategories. You do. Please do this as I wrote it. Do not Move Groceries to Food thinking you will end up with Food:Groceries. You won't. If there's any doubt you understand these instructions, post a question in the newsgroup asking for clarification or do it in a copy of your data file first.
Despite the relatively large number of postings complaining about this after M05 was released, M06/7/Plus still does it when upgrading M04 and earlier files. If you upgraded to M05/6/7 and undid this damage, M06/7/Plus leaves it as Food:Groceries and Food:Dining Out. Go figure.
Please see this disclaimer if you are using Money 2005 or this comment if you are using Money 2006.
