SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Microsoft Money 99, when modifying an account number under a payee's
Details, the Account Number field for any given payee is restricted to 22
characters
 
-or-
 
When entering the account number for an electronic payee (Epay), you
receive the following error message:
 
   Please enter your 1 to 22 character account number at
   this merchant or payee. If you don't know the account
   number, or if this is a personal check, enter your name.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Money 99 only allows you to enter 22 characters of an account number for a
given payee. This behavior differs from Money 98, which allowed you to
enter 25 characters of the account number.
 
This behavior is by design in Money 99.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
If you import a file containing an account number longer than 22
characters, Money 99 will allow you to maintain the longer number. However,
if you delete the longer account number, any new account numbers that you
enter are limited to 22 characters.
