If you opened a 1.4 modified file with 1.3, then you might be getting strange errors. MoneyWell 1.4 made that backup file when it opened your 1.3 document so you could use the backup in 1.3 if necessary. Just duplicate the backup file and rename it (I use the 1.3 in the name so I don't get it confused with my beta test documents). If this still doesn't work, you can email me your file and I will look at it to see if it needs repair. > Oh, and as an aside, for all those just starting the app or evaluating > it for yourself, the rollover feature is very easy.

Actually, the term "rollover" was so confusing that it has been removed from 1.4 almost completely (by ship date it should be 100% gone). What's actually happening is that MoneyWell is leaving money in your buckets after the new month starts, just as if you had a physical bucket (or envelope) with money left over and you start your new month. The only reason this looks trickier is that MoneyWell is trying to keep a monthly view clean so when this month starts, you don't see money in last months buckets but none in this one. Like I said, version 1.4 should clarify this more.
