Perhaps somebody with your same credit card would know. Typically I
think of the credit card and the related bank as separate financial
institutions.

I actually just made a backup of my entire money file and the backup did
delete the transactions in the new account so I am all set. Now all I need
to do it figure out a away to sync my credit card with that institution too.

I would suggest making a QIF export of you bank account before deciding to
merge, just in case it really does delete all transactions prior to Aug 2.
That way you can re-import the transactions from that QIF file.

Thanks, you were right. One last question -
I have a checking, savings, and credit card account with this credit union.
When I set up online services the first time I choose to set up banking but
now that that is working I wanted to have it automatically download my
credit card transactions too. I can't seem to see where I can set up a
credit card online service with them. It only gives me the ability to
cancel using online services. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for all
your help!

I think it is referring to deleting downloaded things out of the
*new* account. However that's why you want the extra backup. And I
don't mean overwriting your only existing backup.



You should have a backup of what your file was last week as well as
what it was yesterday.

File-> Restore is your undo.

Hi-
Thanks for that info, the only problem is when I try that it says that it
detects transactions older than Aug. 2, 2004 and they will be deleted during
the merge to prevent duplicates. How can I avoid this? I don't want it to
delete anything and I will delete it if neccessary. The majority of my
transactions are before 8/2/04. Thanks for your help and your fast
response! I really appreciate it alot!

Make an extra backup/copy of your Money file in case you want to
undo later.

Assuming you are running Money 2005, in the Account List click Merge
Duplicate Accounts on the left.

Hi-
My bank always had me manually download my info from their site by selecting
a date range. I just checked now and notice that they have automatic
updates. When I set that up it created 2 more accounts for me. I want to
just merge them together with my old ones since they have all the past
transactions and names correct but I don't know how to do this. I would
really appreciate any help anyone has. Thanks!
