Well, the reconciled thing did not work. Should have posted that I had tried
that already. I will try the date range thing which is pretty much what I
was looking for. I will not be able to let you know if it works until after
the first since that is when there will be new transactions. I will let you
know. Thanks for the quick response though

You could try tightening
Tools-> Setting-> OnlineServices-> MatchTransactionsWithA___DayRange

You could also try marking the old transactions as reconciled. I am
not getting what you are seeing in Money 2006, and I don't remember
the problem in Money 2005. So I am not able to readily test. But I
would suggest you try it for the cash transactions first. You could
do that by the Balancing procedure.

You could also just mark all entries balanced. Select to show only
unreconciled transactions. Sort by date, and go to the oldest
transaction. Hold down Cntl+Shift+M and let auto-repeat work thru
the transactions until none are left showing.

For the investment transactions, there is no easy procedure, and I
doubt it would have an effect anyway. But I don't know. Let us know
what you learn.

I have Money 2005 on Win XP pro. I use downloaded transactions along with
manual entry transactions except for my 401K which only uses downloaded
transactions. Twice a month (on payday) I automatically make several 401K
purchases (20 of them). When Money downloads them I go in to accept them and
for every single tranaction it asks me if some past transaction is the same.
ex. transaction dated 12/15/2005 purchase 10 shares of stable value at 10
dollars per share for a total of 100 dollars. Then money asks if this
transaction is the same as some other transaction where the only thing that
is the same is the type of stock. in other words the date, price, number of
shares and total are all different. It does this 12 times for each
transaction so... 20 transactions have to click no 12 times means I have to
click no 240 times each payday.

Is there any way to make money not try to match tranactions for this account
only?
