Why do you have to do anything in file B to export data from file A? When
you have file A open, what does the export process know or care about your
intent to import the data back into file B?

You are trying to get data for account "xyz" in file B. File B does NOT
already have an account "xyz." Yes, you need to export data from file A,
account "xyz" to a QIF file. Call this file xyz account. Then in file B do
the import. Money will need to create the "xyz" account in file B. If you
don't create it, where will these transactions you are importing go?

I would like to move or copy account "xyz" from file A to file B in Money
2004. Of course with all the transactions. The problem is when I do the
export option I do have to create the account in the file B in order to
export the data. My question is if there is a way to move the account from
file a to file B (both files are Money 2004)

Is the account you are trying to merge a bank account, investment

You are trying to merge part of File B into file A. Which of these,
if any, applies?:

1. You want to end up with one more account in file A than it had
before? You want the information in the additional account in file A
to be from an account in File B.

2. You want an existing account in File B to contain not only what
it now contains, but to also contain transactions from an account in
File B.

No, you will not be able to merge an account from File B without
exporting that account from File B, but I suspect that is not the
question that you mean 't to ask.

What you've seen is wht thye've got.

I am a Money 2004 user. I have to different files in Money 2004. I would like
to copy and paste one account (with all the data and details) from one file
to the other one. So far the only solution I see is the Export option, but I
do have to create a new account when I follow the Export steps.

Is there any way to do this without exporting the account?

Thank you.
