Problem with MS Money for Pocket PC

[ERJRy]

When I try to install MS Money for Pocket PC it says I don't have MS Money installed on my desktop and cannot sync the two. However, I do have MS Money 2002 on my Dell desktop and use it all the time. I need to sync the two. For some reason the program install isn't recognizing the installed software on my PC. Any ideas??

Well, I went ahead with the install. I chose to install MS Money to the Built In Storage. Now my Axim won't recognize it. The only way to run the program is through the file manager when I manually find the .exe file. If I go to programs the file is listed by won't run. I'm assuming it's because I installed to the built in storage. More help please!

open up your file explorer and find the Money executable that you said would work and click and hold to get the option menu to pop up (like right click on your desktop) and chose copy.

then browse to My Device\Windows\Start menu\programs

once there scroll to the bottom of the page and find a blank spot. click and hold and get that pop up to happen and choose "Paste Shortcut".

you can then click on it again like before... getting the pop up... and choose rename. rename the file to anything you like.

now you should be able to click your start menu, go to programs ... and there it is.

delete the nonworking one when your done. you should find it in the same folder as where you created the new one.

Hope this helps.

which version of money are you running? 2002, 2003, 2000?

I think it matters.

also... i did have to install PPC money on my device... not memory card to get it to work properly. this may be some of the problem too.

if you are running the correct version, unistall money for the ppc and reinstall it on your device in main storage.

Since we're fixing Pocket Money here, I have a problem with it. It installed correctly, but when I synch, Money resynchronizes constantly, getting to "Synchronized" then reverting to "1 item not synchronized", back to "Synchronized", back to the other again, over and over. I finally have to stop the synchronization and disable synching with Money. When I look at the Pocket PC data, it appears to be all there.

I've tried "Sync All" and "Delete All" on the Tools tab of the Settings dialog several times, with no change.

Any ideas?

You may want to uninstall it on your pocket pc and do a soft reset. sync your ppc then reinstall in the default location and see if that helps.

otherwise im not sure what else you can do.

I've seen this problem when I used MS Money 2003 and it was reported on Brighthand in a thread or two. I think it might be an issue with ActiveSync 3.6. One person who had this problem went back to 3.5 and it stopped.

Do you use Agenda Fusion? It caused this problem with MS Money on my system when I upgraded using the updater & version 4.92. I didn't get the MS Money syncjhing to quit until I uninstalled AF completely (even clicked on the remove from desktop)and reinstalled version 4.93 from scratch.
Now both programs work grear.

Mona...

You're a genius! I followed your suggestion and now Money is well behaved.

And if you want a bit of irony, not only do I use Agenda Fusion, I lend a hand with support for the product from time to time. So you've given me yet another little addition to my support toolbox.

Thanks for your help!
