cibsbu #1 / 2	Weird problem related to IBM's VisualAge and Microsoft Money 2002 Last week, I installed Microsoft Money2002 Deluxe on Win Me. I was able to setup accounts, but when I went to download the transactions, I would get a Fatal Error -- it would prompt me if I wanted to send the error report, and then shutdown and restart. The actual error report indicated the file "msvcrt.dll". I have been in touch with Microsoft Tech Support since then. They called me back and asked me to check my AUTOEXEC.BAT to see if there was a line like this: "set NLSPATH=..." As soon as she asked me if I had installed IBM's VisualAge for Java product installed, I knew that was it. I personally dint use the Java product, but had installed IBM's VisualAge for Smalltalk. And yes, that had changed the autoexec to add the NLSPATH. So, as soon as I REM'd that line, and restarted my machine, everything started working fine. Just wanted to share this info with you.. I have wasted several hours beating my head on this problem. Btw.. Microsoft's Tech Support did not have a clue to why this was happening. Thanx cibsbui

Alan Wolfs #2 / 2	Weird problem related to IBM's VisualAge and Microsoft Money 2002 I ran into that problem well over a year ago on Win2000 and earlier versions of Money. Was never able to finalize details and Microsoft denied any involvement. For me, it was an inability to download portfolios ... everything else worked. I used to use the SystemState restore to put things back to where they were before I installed Smalltalk. Then, I was able to use Smalltalk and Money.
