I do it every day. You have some misconceptions about how online services
work, or you have something set wrong with respect to what you want to
accomplish.

Is that what you believe? Perhaps this stems from your meaning of
update directly.

If you want to have transactions that are transfers show as
transfers, you are going to have to get involved when you process
the first half of the transfer: change the category to
Transfer:TheOtherAccount.

Then when you process the other half of the transfer, Money should
match the transaction to the then-existing transfer.

"updating"? I am using advanced registers, and I thought I was
updating.

I am running Money 06 premium

Most of my accounts are set up to update directly from my institutions. I
like the convenience, but this forces them to be "Essential Register". One
problem is that entries like a transfer show up as spending. Leaving it
uncategorize doesn't help. These entries easily dwarf other real spending. Is
there any way to exempt entries from spending?

I wish I could have the convenience of "updating" with the flexibility of
"Advanced Register." Is there any way to do this?
