Hi,
Thanks for your detailed response.

I thought I was in line with the reporting guidelines when I tried to close the
report which exposed 2 problems (winsock and Wine unhandled exception) to
create a new one with only the remaining bug ("Each bug report should cover one
problem").

Msmoney 3.0 is effectively an "ancient piece of software". "Running that with
Wine would be more of an academic exercise rather than for practical reasons": 
believe it, nothing as practical and simple has been produced so far, MsMoney
following upgrades up to MsMoney Sunset were less powerful than 3.0. It had
resisted most of the Windows upgrades including Windows7, I had to move to Wine
under Ubuntu 12.04 in 2012 then upgrade to 18.04 and except some minor
difficulties it worked correctly. Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 and Wine 5.0 last
month did result in the current difficulty. And isn't it Wine reason for living
to able Windows programs without regression (unlike Microsoft)?

"Please spend more time on research before creating bug report after bug report
..." : I really spent a lot of time trying to decrypt documentations, support
procedures, explanations and comments in multiple sites, but nothing helpful or
understandable. "...and abandon them shortly thereafter": see the 1st & of this
message.

Your recommendations: I will do my best to follow all the steps you listed
(install Wine 6.0 in a clean environment) though moving from 3.0 to 5.0 was not
successful.

I don't understand the end of you message with the zip files.

Thanks again for your time to respond.
Regards,
