Default Re: New Money file and multiple accounts

Thanks for the info, unfourtunally I had accepted all of the payments before
I asked the question, but fortunately when I went back to make them
transfers there only wound up being two transactions as my checking acct.
doesn't go back to the beginning of the year.

Thanks
Wayne

There is more than one way.

1. When you process the first transaction, enter it as a transfer.
When you process the second transaction, be careful to not just
Accept; click Change and match it to the transfer you already made.

If you have duplicate transactions in the account, Delete or Void
the extras.

2. Make each transfer to an account (could be "Cash or other"
account) that could be called "In Transit". This is a about as
foolproof as it gets. The account should have a zero balance except
during the interval between events. This allows separate dates on
the two sides of the transfer.

Categorize the first one you download as a Transfer:[name of other acct].
Match the second one you download to the entry this will make in that
account.

Default New Money file and multiple accounts

I have just bought money 2006, since I've had some issues with my 2005 file
I decided to start all over. So I downloaded from multiple bank accts. money
import files. Here's the issue, I have a checking and a savings acct,
different banks, I've transferred money between these two accts many times.
These transfers show up in the downloaded files, but are not linked between
the two accts. So the withdraw from one shows as an expense, and the deposit
to the other shows as income.

other than changing the category, which causes a second trans action to
appear in the other acct, and then deleting the original, is there anyway to
change these so they are connected?
