An interesting concept -- how would you like the changes in the splits
handled? I presume that each of the tax categories (at the least) would
have to change.

See, that's a bummer. It seems that in this day and age, MS would realize
that people have varying deposits and address this concern. The end result
for users like myself, then, is that I can't really use the option of
entering deposits in advance. I use it as a 'placeholder,' for lack of a
better term. It would be only too wonderful if I didn't have to:

1) Open MS Money
2) Delete pending/scheduled estimated deposit
3) Go to credit union's website
4) Download transactions
5) Go BACK to MS Money and accept the remaining transactions.

It's all in the details, I guess.

Do I correctly understand that folks that work for MS actually troll these
boards for ideas/suggestions on how to improve the programs? I mean, I use
it in such an elementary fashion that I'm really surprised to find that there
is something that I *need* it to do and it doesn't. Does that make any
sense? ::shrug::

ANYWAY - if so -

MICROSOFT: Please consider adding an option where a scheduled deposit is
overridden by an actual deposit when the payee and dates match!!

Have the actual downloaded value override an estimated value? Now
there's an idea! ;-)

I would work around this by editing the series to not enter the
deposit into the register in advance.

I handle the problem by taking the pay stub I get the day before and editing
it before I download. If I download first, I just delete the automatically
entered one and correct the other one. The other way is not to accept the
matching and manually do it (but you have to turn off automatic accepting of
downloaded transactions). It is usually easier just to delete the extra
deposit.

My husband's paychecks are direct deposit. He is an hourly employee,
therefore, the deposit amounts are not a set amount. I have a 'scheduled
deposit' set-up to be entered on the day that his paycheck is deposited. The
problem I am having with this setup is that when I download transactions from
the bank, I have my estimated deposit amount PLUS the actual. Obviously,
this can cause a problem if I'm not paying attention.

My question: is there a way that I can make my estimated deposit amoutn be
'overridden' by the actual amount? I'm afraid I know the answer to this,
but, just had to ask.

Thanks, again, all for your assistance on these boards.
