Does anyone know how to track US Savings Bonds in Microsoft Money and
have the current value calculated? I add a new investment and enter
the purchase value of the bonds but Microsoft Money doesn't figure out
what the current value is. The advice that I've seen for older version
suggests figuring it out from the table on my own and then entering
that value. I'd much prefer if the value was updated automatically my

Money does not know how to value US Savings Bonds. Use Savings Bond Wizard
(from the US Treasury web site) for that and than enter an Interest
transaction in Money. You can enter one for each bond and then just keep
updating them from the SBW data as often as you see fit. It's a pain but
there is no better solution involving Money..
