Revision History

Ultrasoft Money 2.5 (12/1/2004)

This update works around a bug in the built-in software on palmOne Treo 650 devices. Click here for details.

The workaround involved changing one of Ultrasoft Money's database identifiers, which necessitated a major-version update. Consequently, you must synchronize your handheld to upload your changes before you install the update.

You need install this update only if you're using a palmOne Treo 650 device, or if you're using a version of Ultrasoft Money prior to 2.4.7.

This is the current release of Ultrasoft Money 2. It is free to registered users of the downloadable version of Ultrasoft Money 2.0 or later (click here to log in and install the update). This update will not work with the retail CD version of Ultrasoft Money.

Ultrasoft Money 2.2 (1/19/2001)

This update includes the following enhancements and fixes:

• Support for Sony CLIE handheld computers, including Jog Dial® navigation.

• The Register View sorting algorithm is changed to accommodate non-numeric values in the check number field (e.g. ATM, DEP).

• The Microsoft Money 98 version of the handheld application could hang during automatic processing of certain scheduled transactions.

• In some situations, the result from the built-in calculator would be wrong by 0.01.

• Recording a future bill or deposit which included a transfer to an account that was not downloaded (i.e. non-favorite or unsupported) would set the transfer amount to zero and cause the account balance to become incorrect.

• When the "Apply current exchange rates" option was enabled, synchronizing split transactions that included transfers could cause the conduit to crash.

Ultrasoft Money 2.1 (11/06/2000)

This update includes the following fixes:

• The handheld application could crash while deleting accounts if they contained certain scheduled transactions. It could also crash during automatic processing of certain scheduled transactions.

• If accounts in Microsoft Money used currency names longer than 19 characters, they would be truncated and duplicated as "custom" currencies during synchronization. After several synchronization operations, the conduit would log an error because of too many custom currencies.

• Changing an account's currency in Microsoft Money would not be reflected in the handheld database.

• The setup program now includes support for Windows Me.

The following fixes and changes were included in earlier maintenance releases of Ultrasoft Money 2.0:

• The handheld application could crash if certain "hacks" were to change the system date or time while Money was running.

• The registration code check in the handheld application was incorrect for certain HotSync names. If you receive a "30-day Trial Expired" message, and your registration code is correct, please install this update.

• AutoComplete would not work correctly in some cases, where non-alphabetic characters were used.

• When certain transfer transactions were marked "Reconciled" on the handheld, the change would not be reflected in Microsoft Money.

• Modifying a scheduled transfer to an unsupported account type on the handheld would cause Microsoft Money to display "The operation cannot be performed" after the next HotSync operation. Click here if you get this message from Microsoft Money.

• The Anchor list at bottom setting did not always work correctly when switching between the Register and Bills & Deposits views.

• On systems with Microsoft Money 2001 installed, where a prior version of Microsoft Money had never previously been installed, setup would fail to detect Microsoft Money.

• On handheld computers running Palm OS 3.3 and earlier, selecting an item in a list (e.g. the Edit Categories list) would sometimes highlight two items.

• Selecting the Reconcile menu option and changing the statement balances during reconciliation would not update the balance at the bottom of the screen.

• The MoneyFix program is designed to convert Lite Edition and Solo Edition databases to the latest format. It would crash if used to convert a database containing unsynchronized deleted records. This is fixed; however, it should still not be used to convert synchronized databases. It is unlikely that databases converted with MoneyFix will synchronize with Microsoft Money.

• Version 2.0 displays investment accounts in the accounts list; however, for options accounts, the balance showed zero.

• When entering a memorized payee name in a new transaction using the Money 2001 build, the transaction type would change to transfer.

• The web-based setup program is changed to remind people that they should synchronize to upload any changes before installing the 2.0 upgrade.
