The matching logic is pretty good, but not perfect. I find it hits about
50%, and it seems to get better with experience. Things that throw it
off seem to be misspellings of the payee name and amounts that aren't
exact. I used to have a paycheck that varied by how many days were in
the month. That one *never* matched automatically.

Your downloaded paycheck should be bold if you haven't accepted it yet.
Select the transaction, then click the "Change" button. You'll get a
list of all the transactions in that account. Remove the check from any
transactions that were matched in error, then add a check to the correct
transaction. Click the approval button, and you match is made. You just
have to review the numbers and approve it.

Since you're doing a paycheck, make sure you set it up as an actual
"Paycheck" type. Enter all the details from your pay stub so taxes are
easier next year.

Default Assign downloaded transaction to paycheck

I downloaded transactions from my bank, which included an automatic payroll
deposit.
I entered my paycheck as a bill and it shows in advanced register.
Both teh downloaded deposit and the automatically entered paycheck (bill)
appear in the register.
Is there a way to tell MS Money that the two transactions are the same?
I.e., to accept the downloaded transaction in a way that will assign all of
the correct catagories I set up for my paycheck?

I am using MS money plus with advanced register
