One thing that will make that a little easier is to sort the
register by order of entry. That way you can find the new entries
easier. Perhaps you would be better to void the new entry for a
while in case one is not a duplicate, and you want it back.

You did not name your bank. I am guessing this is OFX format
downloads. There should be two things preventing this:

There is a date that Money sends that specifies that transactions on
or after a specified date are desired. That is probably being
ignored by your bank's software. That is the secondary problem.

There is a FITID Financial Institution Transaction ID that should
identify the transaction uniquely, but it should not differ if that
same transaction is downloaded twice. Your FI is probably not
keeping that the same. This is the primary problem with your bank's
software.

I should say I am using Money 2003

Hi there,

When I use my bank's online banking I have the option to
download the statement in Money format, then the next
time I start Money it automatically updates my account
details.

My problem - every time I download the statement it makes
another entry in Money. This happens even though I had
checked the doubles up in the account details in Money -
even if I have accepted it or even reconciled it.

For example - I have reconciled my July entries and
everything balances. Now it is August 3 and I download my
statement for the last 30days (there is no option to just
download new entries). When I start Money I find that
every entry for the last 30 days has been downloaded and
entered into my account - not just the 4 or so entries
that are actually new - so right under every entry that
I have reconciled is the exact same entry again, and then
right at the end are the 4 new entries.

So everytime I update my account details from the bank I
have to go through and delete all the entries that are
already there, which of course is a real waste of time.

Any ideas?
