SUMMARY
=======
 
When you set up an Apay in Microsoft Money, the scheduled Apay appears in
the Payment Calendar beyond the last payment date specified.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Although the transaction remains in the calendar, it is not an Apay
beyond the last scheduled date and no payment will be made beyond the
last date scheduled.
 
Example
-------
 
The following is an example of what will appear in the payment calendar
when setting up an Apay that is paid monthly, beginning 1/1/96, for 3
months:
 
NOTE: To see transactions that are scheduled for more that 30 days from the
current date, click View: All Bills and Deposits by Date (or by Payee).
 
Date     Payee       Account       Amount
 
1/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00   (for payment #1 as an Apay)
2/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00   (for payment #2 as an Apay)
3/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00   (for payment #3 as an Apay)
4/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00   (The payments from 4/1 on )
5/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00   (....Apay becomes Epay....)
6/1/96   Cable Co.   Checking      25.00
 
When looking in the Payment Calendar, you will see the payments
scheduled for 1/1/96, 2/1/96, and 3/1/96. But you will also see
payments scheduled for 4/1/96, 5/1/96, 6/1/96, and so forth. This is
because the calendar is set to list all payments based on their
frequency.
 
NOTE: When attempting to edit a transaction in the Payment Calendar
that still has Apays to be paid, you will receive the message:
 
   The date of the last Automatic Payment made will be xx/xx/xx"
 
   After clicking OK, you will only be allowed to edit the category,
   subcategory, classification and/or memo. The remaining information
   must not be changed because it is needed for online services to
   make the payment correctly.
 
When the last payment is made, the following type of message should be
received from the online service provider:
 
*** AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS ************************************************
 
Your Monthly Automatic Payment for <Amount>
to <Payee> has been scheduled for <Date> with check number <Number>.
This is the final payment for this Automatic Payment.
Money will now remove Apay from the Number field.
If you want to reactivate it in the Payment Calendar,
type Apay again in the Number field.
***********************************************************************
 
After receiving this message, the Apay should be converted to a
normal recurring payment. If you want to delete all instances of this
recurring payment, click the payment with the right mouse button and
then click Delete. Or, to delete the first instance only, click the payment
with the right mouse button and then click Reschedule.
 
Another option is to re-enable the transaction as an electronic payment by
typing Apay in the number field.
