To cancel online service for an account,
AccountList-> ManageOnlineServices. Click the account. Click

Thanks for the reply. Alas, this did not work.

BTW, I'm using Money Plus Home & Business edition with XP SP3.

Followed your steps. Created the QIF with D set to 07/28/2008, imported,
pointed to the account, and completed the import. When I go to Account List,
it does not say "Transactions to read:1," it still says "Update
unsuccessful." Nevertheless, I right clicked and selected "Delete statement"
(this option being available indicates the import was ok). Money churned for
a second then refreshed the screen, but "Update unsuccessful remains." I have
five accounts in this situation. Closed and relaunched Money, but "Update
unsuccessful" still remains.

I appreciate your help very much.

Try this, and let us know if it works for your purpose:

1.Open a new Notepad file, and paste the following six lines
between the delimiter lines below into the file. Save the file as
"ClearBalance.QIF".


============begin ClearBalance.QIF==========================
!Type:Bank
D08/28/2008
T-1.00
PRemove Balance
MUsed to remove the balance
^
============end ClearBalance.QIF==========================

2. Change the date on the line that starts with 'D' to a date
later than the reported last download in the register. Today's
date should work. The date format depends on your Windows regional
settings.

3. Save the File-> SaveAs the file "ClearBalance.QIF" in the same
folder as your *.mny file.

4. Open Money, and File-> Import-> Downloaded Statement. Select
ClearBalance.QIF and click Import. Money will ask which account
(or to make a new account). Select the account you wish to clear
the Downloaded Date from, and click Next, then OK.

5.Do not process the statement as you would a regular statement.
Instead go to the Account List and right-click where it says
"Transactions to read:1" for the account that you imported into.
Choose DeleteStatement.

You can re-use the ClearBalance.QIF file on all the accounts you
wish to clear.

Default Clear 'Update Unsuccessful' message in Account List

A bunch of my accounts have the "red exclamation point in triangle" icon to
the left of the account name, and "Update unsuccessful" in the "To Review"
column. These have been there for eons.

I stopped trying to auto-update these accounts long ago; now I log on to
each accound and do a manual download. That works fine, but the icon and
error message won't go away. How do I clear them?

Thank you.
