SYMPTOMS

When you generate an "Income vs. Spending" report ("Income and Spending" report in Money 2002 and later), you may receive an "Expense - Unassigned" or "Income - Unassigned" message under the Amount column in the report.

The entries in the report appear similar to the following examples: 
   Income - Unassigned                 $500

   Expense - Unassigned                $300
