For the existing transactions, Void or Delete the non-transfer
transactions.

For the future, as you process the payment transaction first, modify
the payment as a transfer to the other account. When you process the
second transaction (in the other account), be careful to not just
Accept; click Change and match it to the transfer you already made
if Money does not detect the match on its own. Usually Money will
pick up on the match to the transfer, but be alert.

There are variations on this situation, but what I described is what
I consider the norm.

Default Credit Card Transfer Frustration

Greetings everyone, I'd appreciate some help with a problem I'm having.

Background:
1) Using MS Money 2006 Deluxe
2) Several Credit Card Accounts are set up in Money and they
automatically download transaction information from the Card Website.
3) I download my Bank Account information (with which I use the bank's
online bill pay) and import the transactions into Money.

The Situation:
I'm trying to assign categories to the credit card payment in my bank
accout register so they don't show up as an expense. I classify them as
Special:Credit Card Transfer.

The Problem:
An adjustment is added to my Credit Card account register for the amount
of a payment. Because all transactions were downloaded from my card's
web site the payment is already there so now it appears to be there
twice. The "I Owe" value at the bottom of the page includes the
adjustment amount. Also, the "payment received" line downloaded from
the cc statement shows up as income.

The Question:
How do I fix this so that the trasactions appear correctly in both
registers so there is no duplication and the the transfer doesn't show
up as an expence and/or income?

Thanks!!

Travis
How do I fix this so
