You would probably need to disable that institution for online
access while making your changes.

You might try changing the institution
(<rightClick> SeeAccountSettings) for the account you want to delete.

You might try removing the passport (File-> PasswordManager) and make
your changes.

Glad you have that backup. You might want to add a USB flash drive
to the plan.

Hi Cal,

Thanks for the quick reply. However, using the method you suggest deletes
*all* the accounts from that bank: the personal accounts that I *do* want to
delete, but also the business account that I do not want to delete. There
appears to be no way to selectively delete the personal accounts so that the
only account that shows is the business account.

(As to the backup strategy, I am a long-time user of Money, and back up to
hard disk each usage, and once a week to CD.)

All best,
John G.

Un-check Banking-> AccountList-> SortAccountListBy-> HideClosedAccounts

Right-click the account, and choose Delete.

Have you considered your backup strategy lately?

Default Deleting unwanted categories and amounts

As part of setup for Money 2005 Small Business edition, I imported the bank
account associated with my business. However, since I have two other personal
accounts at the same bank, information for those were imported as well. First
I tried to delete those accounts, but it also deleted the business account
that I wanted. Then, I tried "closing" the two personal accounts, and they
appeared to disappear. However, all of the history of those two personal
accounts is still buried somewhere, and reports like the handy "Spending by
Category" pie chart on the opening page reflects data from my personal
accounts and not the business account. Can anyone advise on how to purge the
data from the closed personal accounts, so that only the data from the
desired business account is reflected?

Many thanks.
