By and large the usage model for Essentials is "if your bank says it you are
going to believe it". That's not to say there isn't a way to do what you
want. But it's probably pretty well hidden which is consistent with the
usage model previously cited. Almost no people here who regularly help
people actually use Essentials. I'd like to be able to help you, but I used
Essentials just long enough to conclude it wasn't of any real use. Hopefully
somebody who is familiar with Essentials and can dive in here and help. I
just wanted to warn you as to why you may not get much help from other users
here.

If the copy was a retail license, you might want to open a support case
directly with Microsoft. If it was an OEM license pre-installed on the
computer, that option is pretty much out. In the latter case, you might want
to call the PC vendor, who is theoretically responsible for support, but
they will probably say "what's Microsoft Money?"

I have been trying for a week to set this up and I am so tired of it. My
account balance is off from what it should be and what the bank shows. All I
really want to know is, is there a way for me (Im running Essentials) to move
Adjustments into the Cleared Transactions without updating it from the bank.
I thought that I would just put a fake deposit in, so that my begining
balance would be correct and go from there. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!
