I keep my farm records in Microsoft Money 2006. I know, it's a poor excuse for farm use, but I have gotten along OK so far. I set it up as a checking account and keep track of all income and expenses like a checkbook register. It's almost the end of the year and I need to print out a copy of the account. Every time I try to print, all I get is the running account balance.( last column on the page) It's not printing the entire page like it used to, so the only thing printing is the balance column. The kids changed my computer that had Vista on it for one with Windows XP and this is the first time I have tried to print the account with XP and I can't figure it out. Has anyone used Micrsoft Money before and know what I'm doing wrong?? I'm lost!! Thanks, Chris
 
If it worked with Vista - then you went back a generation to XP... it makes me wonder if your financial software is not compatible with the older XP.

But I am by no means a computer genius. So see if others weigh in on this.
 
Got to thinking... at work I use MS QuickBooks and we print everything from a "Reports" tab. So googled in for Microsoft Money 2006. (Hope this helps).

1. Launch Microsoft Money by clicking on its Desktop icon or using the Windows "Start" menu.

2. Click the button "Report" in the program toolbar.

3. Click on "Change Report Settings" under "Other Tasks" on the left panel and choose "Switch from Essential Reports to Advanced Reports." Then select "Use Advanced Reports."

4. Double-click on "Spending by Category" or "Transactions by Category", which are commonly used options. Note: use the latter option if you need to report deposits to your accounts; not just spending.

5. Click the button "Customize" to bring up the "Customize Report" window.

6. Select the tab "Date" to set a timeframe ("From" and "To") for the report.

7. Select the tab "Account" and check boxes for accounts (credit cards and/or bank accounts) you want to consider for your report.

8. Select the tab "Category" and check boxes for spending or transaction categories you want to include in the report.

9. Click "OK" to create a report.

10. Use the options "Print" or "Send To" under "Common Task" to print or email the report created.

Thanks for the reply, I figured it out, my printer was out of colored ink. I got another cartridge and got it to print out. My program doesn't have all the options you listed, or else I'm too dumb to find them. Anyhow, It works now. Chris
