I am not at all sure of a cure, but her is something I would try.

Here is what I hypothesize as happening. You pay a fee to get OFX
access from Money. That implies that Wells Fargo is providing that
data directly. Money gets that data. It also gets data Via Yodlee
causing the duplication.

Here is what I would do.

Copy your current Money file to another name in case you don't like
the result of what you do. After all, I am not at all sure that my
hypothesis has merit. Restore a backup from before the incident.

Remove the Passport on your Money file.
File-> PasswordManager-> Change-> DisableMoney'sPassportFeatures. Now
try do your updates from Wells Fargo, and see if things are better
behaved.

Was this immediately after upgrading to Money 2005? If so, confirm that
Money 2005 has updated 20 the 1105 version (Help - About) and then reconvert
your data file. You might want to reference
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;889246

Or was it working fine in 2005 until just recently?
If that's the case, then it is more likely that Wells Fargo may have
inadvertently (or purposefully, without testing the implications in Money)
changed the download format.

I pay Wells Fargo $3 a month, and they provide online integration with MS
Money. I've used this for 4 years without incident.

I don't believe the Wells Fargo integration is the problem. I doubt my
online transaction history goes back 4 years... but almost 4 years worth of
transactions were affected. And, Wells Fargo doesn't know what is contained
in my split transactions, they just track the tiotal amount. But, the
details of each split transaction is what is being reapplied to my account. t
seems clear to me that MS Money is reapplying the split transactions, but it
appears to be triggered by the Online Updates.

Very strange and disconcerting situtation.

Default Major Split Transaction Bug

Directly after an Online Update to my bank (Wells Fargo) the other day, 3
years of Split Transaction Payments were DOUBLE applied to my checking
account. In fact, every item within a split transaction now shows up as its
OWN transaction. For example...

BEFORE the incident -
March 2, 2003 -Countrywide Home Loan Payment $1000

AFTER the incident -
March 2, 2003 - Countrywide Home Loan Payment $1000
March 2, 2003 - Property Tax $500
March 2, 2003 - Interest $500

This is not a downloading/matching issue, but a bug that is reapplying split
transactions from years ago to my account. Now, my account appears to be
$50,000 in the red and every new split transaction I pay online through MS
Money is applied twice in exactly the same way as above. Can anyone shed
light on this? I am considering dropping split transactions altogether.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Thanks,

Brian
