I am going to assume that you got OFX transactions from the bank
website. If not, things could change a bit, but maybe not.

Make an extra copy of your .mny file in case you do something you
don't like. It is much better to have an unused spare than to wish
you had a copy. In fact, it might be good to restore back to a point
before you set up the download. Then print the account register
sorted by date. That would be very useful to see, when you sort the
register by date, if they agree up to a particular date. Printing in
landscape mode may be helpful to get everything on one line. Then
you can return/restore to your post-download version to work with.

I suspect you got a 1-time duplication of transactions. At this
point what I would do is to sort the account register by entry order
(View-> SortBy). The downloaded transactions should be at the bottom,
and they will probably have an "E" in the C column. Note the date of
the oldest of those.

What you want to do is to delete or Void (I would prefer Void; you
can un-void, but cannot un-delete) duplicates. The next question
would be whether to delete/void the hand-entered or the downloaded
ones. I am not sure it matters actually. Voiding the hand-entered
ones is the surest, but with OFX it *should* work either way.

I have microsoft money and have entered all my info
manually for my business account and my personal account
since August 2002. I recently asked my computer tech if
there was a way to download info electronically from the
bank website. I did this and now my totals are
tremendously inflated. Is there any way of correcting
this? My records are totally inaccurate now.

If not how would I create a new program and reconcile it
month by month. I can go back 18 months for downloads in
the personal account, but only 3 months for the personal
account.
