Thanks LF. I have developed another workaround which is slightly
neater because it doesn't leave a void transaction in the register.

- I accept the duplicate "deposit" transaction which Money
persistently downloads

- I edit it and change it to a transfer so that there is a counter-
transaction in the other account

- and then I delete the original transfer which I had set up.

Money is then happy because the download which it can't live without
is in the register and I'm happy(er) because everything balances and
is neat. However, it's still pretty annoying, and what I don't
understand is that Money will happily deal with some transfers and
match them up with the downloaded transactions, it just takes
apparently arbitrary dislikes to others.

Hi,

I have the same problem as you.. the only way I can get it to work and stop
downloading the transaction is to accept the duplicate transaction and then
mark it as Void, it is annoying but I haven't found a way to manually match
the transactions. I don't want to turn off the automatic transaction
acceptance as the other reply suggests.

Good luck!

Hi-
It sounds like you have Money setup to automatically accept transactions
from your bank. In order to match your transactions in your register with the
downloaded bank transactions you must UNCHECK the selection to automate
within Money. This is located in the online services setup area of Money Plus
and a similar location in all other versions. Once you have done that you
should be presented with a choice to accept, match or edit your transactions
when they're downloaded. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have an annoying persistent problem. I have a monthly standing order
set up at my bank to transfer some money from my current account to a
deposit account. I replicated the transfer within money as a bill
(which is just set up as a transfer) so that my register gets updated
each month. However, when I hook up to my bank and download my recent
transactions Money sees the payment into the deposit account as a
separate deposit and I can't see a way to link it to the transfer
which by now is already in the register. I've tried marking the
existing transfer as reconciled, and deleting the downloaded deposit,
but then it simply downloads the deposit afresh every time I connect
to the bank. It seems like the only way to deal with it is to delete
my own entry from the register and edit the downloaded transaction
into a transfer.

So how can I make Money realise that this deposit is in fact the
transfer that it already knows about.
