SYMPTOMS
========
 
You may not be able to go to a customized report or chart and you get
an error message similar to one of the following:
 
   There is too much data to show in this list, report, or chart.
 
-or-
 
   Not enough memory is available. If you have several applications open
   at the same time, you might need to close one of them before you start
   Money.
 
-or-
 
   There has been an error reading or writing the file access violation
   fault.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This may happen if the report or chart is trying to display too much
information. This may also occur if there is corruption in the information
included in the report or chart.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
You can delete the customization of the report/chart and open the default
report/chart.
 
NOTE: Customized reports and charts appear with a notepad and pencil
beside the named report/chart.
 
Use the following steps to delete the customization on the report or
chart:
 
1. Go to the Report and Chart Gallery.
 
2. Select the appropriate list of reports/charts.
 
3. Select the report or chart that returns the error.
 
4. Delete the customization by pressing the DELETE key on the keyboard.
   This resets the report/chart to its default settings.
 
NOTE: If this report/chart is in the My Favorites list, these steps
Delete the report. You must then recreate it.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in in the versions listed at
the top of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
In Money 5.0 the resizing scrollbar of reports, such as the Price History
report, is only able to display 32K of information. In the Investment
Price History report, it would take 3 years of price updates for 42
Different securities to exceed this limit.
 
Versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 of Money do not automatically save the
customization of reports as Money 4.0 and 5.0 do. With these older
versions, you may get a "Not enough memory is available" error after
customizing a report. You can always return to the default report.
 
Corruption of the data file can also cause problems; if the report is
customized you can reset the report to the default settings using the
steps above. If this does not help determine the data that might be
corrupt, or if the report is not customized, please see the following
