Thanks. I hadn't finished step 2. I'll try it out.

For clarity's sake:

2) Either Transfer cash to the Investment Account associated Cash Account
and then enter a Buy transaction in the Investment Account associated Cash
Account that specifies the Investment Account to hold the Investment,
or
2 alternate) Enter a Buy Investment/CD transaction in the original account
where the cash came from that specifies the Investment Account to hold the
Investment

What you don't mention is then entering investment transactions that define
the CDs as investments and "buy" the CDs from cash. The basic flow is:

1) Given an Investment Account,
2) Either Transfer cash to the Investment Account associated Cash Account
and then enter a Buy transaction in the Investment Account associated Cash
Account,
or
2 alternate) Enter a Buy Investment/CD transaction in the original account
where the cash came from
3) When entering the Buy transaction, define a new Investment of type CD.
Use a name something like "6 month CDs 2006-02" and enter the remaining
specifics.

You can specify the interest rate and term here. I don't believe you can
specify how often interest is deposited. Nor will Money use any of this data
to make automatic interest deposit transactions. You will have to enter
those off statements.

When I setup a new account for a couple of CD's that I purchased I chose to
make them investment accounts. The problem is that I don't see how I can
enter the interest rate and length of term and how often interest is
deposited. Is there a better way to setup a CD so that money can track all
this information?
