I can't get changed data saved
I have been using this program on my PC with Windows 10 pro for a few years now & like it. I have just updated to version 1.4 & have run into a serious problem.
I open a recurring transaction list and select an item. I select edit to change amount & expect this to be saved but nothing has happened. I reopen the item & see that my new figure is listed but that this new figure hasn't updated my bank balance.
I try all of this again & select enter as well a changing the amount at the same time,and again no update of bank balance.
I recall that I have a USB that has portable version 1.3 on it & I try all previously mentioned attempts to update files but again nothing happens.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance

Re: I can't get changed data saved
Please downgrade DB and use 1.3.3 or 1.3.4 or 1.3.5
https://sourceforge.net/projects/moneymanagerex/files/
How to downgrade DB:
https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/2353
Download https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... 3_7_v3.zip and exteact.
Run mmex >=1.3.4 and say Yes when asking about file from support.
PS better to use backup of your DB (.mmb) file. But downgrade possible if needed.

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I now have version 1.3.3 installed. When I try to run the downgrade DB file. I'm told the MMEX is already is running and that multiple instances aren't supported.
So I'm stuck. But one advantage I have has been is that it's using 1 account and I have been using the program just to keep up to date with my Banks account and set up auto payments for reoccurring transactions.
I'm thinking what if I make copy of all of the major files, accounts,payees,categories etc and just started a new DB would that work?
Or perhaps if I exported my data as CSV file and then import it as a new file would this work?

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I still can't get changed data saved.
I have even tried other aspects of the program and seen more strange things.
I tried the daily cash flow forecasting and found that the results being displayed were not at all what I was expecting when I took recurring transactions into account. Very strange?
Are any of the things that I suggested previously possible a fix?

Re: I can't get changed data saved
You can downgrade DB only using 1.3.5 version of mmex.
Then you can use any othets like 1.3.3 1.3.4 or 1.3.5

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I have tried this again and failed.
I'm using a 64Bit version Windows 10 could I try the 32bit % would this be OK?
I could put the program onto an android tablet if this will make it possible for things to work again OK?
I notice that the program appears in both program files & program files (X86). I don't know why this is but could it be the source of my problems?
I welcome any other ideas?

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I recommend to use portable mmex
1)Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/moneym ... .3.5-rc.2/ portable mmex and extract to c:\Portable_apps\ folder
2) Run c:\Portable_apps\moneymanagerex\bin\mmex.exe
3) Choose your mmb file

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I have been trying on and off for days now to get the program to do anything at all. No Change that I make is ever saved. I have tried various versions, 32bit,64bit,portable. I have even installed the downgrade file.
I can't get any data changed or saved. I have even done things like going back to file that had been reconciled, changed the amount by a few cents and saved it but nothing happens.
I try to make the change a second time & my new figure appears but when I close tab the figure hasn't changed.
I have even opened a category and just changed the word & saved it but when I reopen it the original name is still displayed.
Is there anything else that I can try? Is the version for the tablet still working?

Re: I can't get changed data saved
I finally got back to trying to resurrect my old account files & get them up to date. I have tied 32 & 64 bit versions as well as portable. Like others I have got the conflicts about an earlier version still being open.
What is the best way to tackle this problem? I can run any version but don't want to set up all the features like Payee's,accounts,repeating payments etc. I only use the program to be reminded to pay my bills on time & know my account balance.
Will creating a new account or trying to clone the existing one work? If I do this should my .mmb files open again with me having to go back to square one? The old .mmb file wasn't read only.
THanks for any help?
