SYMPTOMS
========
 
The opening balance for a Transaction Report shows a zero amount.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This problem occurs if the selected date range includes the very first
transaction in the account.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To resolve this problem, do either of the following:
 
 - Use All Dates for the date range.
 
   -or-
 
 - Enter a dummy transaction into the account dated one day before the
   date range desired and use a zero payment amount for the transaction.
 
Money will now use the running balance from that transaction as the
opening balance on the report.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Money version 3.0 for
Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
