Patrick,
I've had this happen to me twice (once a month ago with a
credit card account from one bank and then recently in
three checking accounts from another bank). I put in a
request to MS Support and they determined both times that
my MS Money file had become corrupt. (Money becomes
corrupt way too easily in my opinion).
Anyway, I could not repair the file with Salv.exe. I
cleared my Temp files, but had to go to the folder and
clear them manually, because the Clear Files button in
Internet Explorer would not clear all my files (I didn't
know that until I actually opened my Internet Temp
Folder). I had some files with extremely long file names
that would not delete until I started in Safe Mode and
moved them out of the Temp folder. Another thing I was
told to do was to right click on the downloaded statement
in the Account list and delete the statement. For the
defective accounts, the statement would NOT delete.
What I did find that is MY solution to this problem, is I
found a good backup, reentered all the missing data (a
pain if it is an older backup).
THEN the BEST PART... I found the Internet a batch file
that actually copies my backup file every day and renames
the backup to the day's date. So I have a backup for every
single day. It actually checks the backup every two hours.
If there is one with today's date,it replaces it. If not
it creates a new one. I also created another batch file
like the first, but modified the location so it makes
another copy to my other computer. It is working great.
And I had never written a batch file before! I've listed
the two websites I used to help me do this.

NOW if my file becomes corrupt, I can trash it and use
yesterday's backup.
