how to use a negative number

I cannot duplicate the original or delete the original transaction, because
it was done with Quicken

I don't know for sure if this will work, but here's what I would do :

· Receive payment for the invoice as usual. Be careful to duplicate all
the information from the original $200 transaction, such as category and
payee.

· Edit your new $200 transaction. Make sure the everything is identical to
the original transaction, including he date.

· Delete the old transaction.

If Money gives you grief, try backdating the invoice to the date of the
original deposit.

I would have opened the invoice at the time I received the first payment,
then received payment against it multiple times as the client paid me.

Non * Business * editions of Money allow you to turn off Transaction Forms.
Then you edit the register entry directly. I think this is what you may be
looking for. Check Help.

I guess I should have bought Quicken again. I had some issues with my
Quicken product not printing correctly. So I thought I would try something
new. Quicken allows me to add a line without having to use the Add an Item
form.

Can't say for sure as I've never used the * Business * editions, but you may
have to use an income category to categorize the amount. IIRC, it has been
reported that the * Business * editions don't allow calling income expense
and vice versa.

Sadly, next to no users of * Business * stick around here to help others.

I have a client that gave me a deposit for a service. I was paid this deposi
last year. I now have made a invoice for this service with Money Home and
Business 2007. How can I show that I have already received $200 towards this
service? Money will not let me use a negative number So how can I do this?
