Really?

You should probably clear
Tools-> Settings-> OnlineServices-> AutomaticallyAcceptAll....

You might also want to switch to advanced register and see if you
can change entries.
Tools-> Settings-> AccountSettings(global)-> DisplayAllAccountsInTheAdvancedRegister
would do that to all accounts.

When I download the updates to the credit card account it doesn't ask
me to match them. That did happen on my checking account when I used
the import money file feature. I cannot change any of the entries in
my credit card account.

There is more than one good way to download your credit card
data and have also the payment downloaded from a checking account.
Here are two ways I like:

1. When you process the first transaction of the credit card
payment, set the category as a transfer to the other ( credit card
or bank account), or use the equivalent "SPECIAL Credit Card
Payment" category. When you process the second transaction,Money
should match it. Be careful to not just Accept if Money did not
find the match on its own for some reason. Click Change and match
it to the transfer you already made if Money did not match it for
you. I would consider this the classic of the ways I like. Note
that for this you would *not* use the Money "EXPENSE Credit Card
Payment". I would Delete that category.

2. In method 2, don't handle credit card payments as transfers or
the pre-defined "Credit Card Payment Instead create one category of
"CC payment" or some such. If you define the category as an
expense category, expect a warning when you use it to represent the
payment within the credit card account -- if you have the warning
enabled. Just click Yes in response to the warning. The category
should net at zero in reports across accounts, and you can still
customize to ignore the category if you like. For this method you
could use the Money "EXPENSE Credit Card Payment".

I have a credit card account and a checking account and both of them
can download transactions from online, however the payoff on the
credit card transaction cannot be linked to the payment on the
checking account transaction. This makes my income/expense all go up
artificially.

If I go into my checking account selecing the credit card payment and
set the category to credit card payment MS Money creates a NEW
transaction in the credit card account and then the payoff shows up
twice, and the one that was auto-populated wtih the credit card
account update cannot be changed or deleted because it's reconciled or
something.
