Not that I know of.

I would change the setting
Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServiceSettings-> MatchTransactionsWithA__1_DayRange
You could experiment with 0, days, but I don't remember seeing that
recommended.

It might also help if you marked the previous transactions as
Reconciled. That can be done as part of the balancing process, or
can be done other ways.

Default Can one forbid / globally disable the "matching" of imported statements?

While I'm in general quite happy with money's book keeping and
visualization capabilities, one thing that infuriates me again and again
is its idiotic "matching" functionality! I.e. again and again when I
import a .qif file from my payment application Money tries to "match"
these entries with items already in the list, thereby obviously trying
to do the worst possible job possible. None of the entries CAN match at
that point, since they don't exist in Money then and so Money obviously
tries to pair them up with more or less random entries in the list
(well, the sums are sometimes a bit similar, but that's about it).

That alone wouldn't be so bad, but what really drives me nuts over and
over again is, that even if I choose "leave unmatched" then Money often
(though strange enough not always) modifies an entry's data with the one
from the falsely matched item!! This can be really infuriating, since I
then regularly have to dig out the original data again and to manually
correct the now falsely labeled and categorized item, i.e. essentially I
have to enter the data manually AGAIN. This annoying behavior forces me
to always be *extremely* alert and double- and triple-check each
imported entry just to make sure, that Money didn't alter them.

Can't one disable this stupid matching altogether? As I said: in my case
imported entries NEVER already exist and so there should be no matching
at all, EVER!

Regards,
Michael

PS.: This is on Money 2005 / Win XP Pro.
