The second account is one way to tame the DRP. Since the prime (sole?)
benefit of the DRP is to support payment planning to assure that you pay
down debt in order to minimize interest cost and maximize use of available
cash flow, I'd only worry it if you have both of those concerns. Otherwise,
maybe just schedule some estimated bill charged to the account as an
interest expense to help you see cash flow effects.

As to the first general Q, no interest, no payments, here's what I'd do:

1) Make a first transaction entry for the amount you start by paying, with a
split of the total amount against the appropriate category and then a credit
for the balance due to some holding category (I've setup
"Miscellaneouseposit, credit to follow" for cases like this.)
2) Setup a scheduled bill to cover whatever scenario I plan to use to pay it
off. Expense these against the same holding category.

This will make the cash flow work, but will not account for interest, but in
this climate, I have no idea why you'd even contemplate paying any. Beyond
that, I guess I don't know what you want to "track ... individually" about
them. Are you trying to compute your own interest number to check their
statements? Excel is probably your best bet.

As to the second Q, You can enter some of this information against an entire
account, but with the exception of the DRP, it is never used.

I apologize if this is a duplicate message, but this
message didn't seem to post from my office.

I've been fighting with this all weekend, and I can't
find a solution. Is it possible to track individual
purchases in Money 2003 that have a no-interest with or
without payment options? For example, Home Depot has a
special offer where any purchases totaling $299 or more
using the Home Depot credit card is interest/payment free
for 6 months from the date of purchase. I have made two
such purchases (one in March, and one in June), but I
can't seem to track them individually. Also, can Money
track special interest rates on individual purchases,
such as a lower interest rate for credit card balance
transfers, but a higher interest rate for regular
purchases?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David
