The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money, version 5.0 for Windows 95
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When setting up Home Banking, Money makes a call to determine the services
available for your financial institution. If you are calling from Canada,
the call may not go through. You may hear a recorded message indicating
that the call cannot be completed as dialed.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel must point to Canada at
the time of installation to install the correct Canadian access phone
number.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
If you installed Money with the Regional Settings set for the United States
there are a series of steps to correct this problem.
 
 - Remove Money
 - Change the Regional Settings to Canadian settings.
 - Reinstall Money.
 
The next time you attempt to set up Home Banking, Money will use the
correct Canadian access number.
 
If you installed Money on Windows NT 4.0, please refer to the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   TITLE     : Money 5.0: Home Banking Setup Unsuccessful - WinNT 4.0 in
               Canada
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
You can manually change the access phone number. This is a temporary
workaround because this does not reset the access phone number in
the Windows Registry. Under certain circumstances, the phone number may be
reset to the original number.
 
Manually Change the Access Number
---------------------------------
 
To change the phone number, follow these steps:
 
1. Start the Online Services Setup Wizard.
 
2. Proceed through the wizard. After entering your Bank Identification
   Number, click Next.
 
3. Click Change Modem.
 
4. In Telephone Number, type:
 
      362-9676
 
5. Click OK.
 
6. Click Connect and proceed through the wizard.
 
If your Internet Service Provider is compatible with Windows 95, you can
also obtain information about the service available for your financial
institution through the Internet. For additional information, please see
the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
================
 
During Setup, Money determines which access phone number to write in the
Windows Registry, based on the Country setting in the Regional Settings of
the Control Panel. If Regional Settings are set for English (United
States), Money uses 1-800-793-6675 as the access number; this number does
not work in Canada. If your Regional Settings are set to English (Canadian)
or French (Canadian), Money uses 1-800-362-9676 as the access number.
 
Remove Money
------------
 
To correctly update the Windows Registry, remove and reinstall Money.
Follow these steps to remove Money:
 
1. Click Start, point to Settings and click Control Panel.
 
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 
3. Click to select Microsoft Money 5.0 and click Add/Remove.
 
4. Click Remove All. If asked if you want to remove shared components,
