Excellent solution.

After impoting, I begin accepting transactions. I try to accept a
particular transaction. I get this error after saying yes:

Transaction cannot be entered. If you matched this investment
earlier, you may have entered the wrong investment type. Try
deleting the security.

I have the security it is trying to enter. The problem is that it
appends my account number to the security name, which makes it a
different security I guess. This stops me from accepting anything
after that. If I choose yes, I get the popup message above.
Choosing Ask Me Later just brings me back to the Review investment
activity page. Choosing No tries to void the transaction but it
can't and gives the error. Any ideas?

Easiest way: File-> Restore to a backup before the download.

Otherwise you can right-click where it says you have
TransactionsToRead and choose Delete. Then the problem may be to
make the next time you import that statement to ask again where it
the statement should go.

If that is a problem, blank the
Financial Institution (FI) for the *wrong* account in account
settings. Do that in the Account Settings/Details, which you can
reach by right-clicking the account name on the Account List. Don't
just change the FI. Blank it.

On the Account List, if there are transactions to read for the
wrong account, right-click TransactionsToRead, and then click
Delete Statement.

Import the OFX file. Money should ask which account to use. Tell
Money the statement should go onto the right account.

Put the FI for the *wrong* account back.


If that does not fix it, see method 2 of
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910214/en-us where you temporarily
change the currency of the wrong account.

I downloaded a statement from my broker but put it into the wrong
account. I haven't accepted these transactions yet but have to if I
want new transactions to get entered into this account. I called
Money tech support but they are the least knowledgeable people about
Money. Their solution is always to repair/restore. Is there a way
to delete these transactions?

Even if I try to accept them then delete them one by one, I'm getting
this message when it tries to enter a transaction into the account:

Transaction cannot be entered. If you matched this investment
earlier, you may have entered the wrong investment type. Try deleting
the security.

Any ideas?
