In Money Plus, there is an AccountList view. From there, for the
unwanted account, you would right-click where it says
TransactionsToRead, and then click Delete Statement. No need to
supply a category first.

MEss is designed strictly to download data. That's why I said you'd have to
convert to Deluxe.

cal, i think money plus may be the answer, but i'm going to try your
recommendation. can you delete existing transactions while you are
"categorizing my transactions," or do i do that from a separate function?
thanks.

dick, is there more information somewhere are using money ess without
downloading? i'm open.

See if you can delete the existing transactions from that shared
account. Then close the account within Money. In Money Plus that
would prevent the account from showing transactions in reports, and
prevent its downloading new transactions from the bank. I hope it is
the same in Essentials.

The problem here is that Money is designed (and Money Essentials (MEss) even
more so) for the most mainstream case and that case wants every account
downloaded. Microsoft seems to feel that more granular control adds a cost
and complexity and user support costs (since every feature they add causes
people to call up needing help) and they don't want to go there.

IF you abandon a) MEss for Deluxe, and b) the notion that the only way to
get the data into Money is to download it, THEN you can get total control
over how Money depicts the data. This of necessity entails putting some more
effort into the problem. But as many users come to know, downloading
transaction data does not solve all problems and does create some of its
own.

(bear with me. i'm new and although this is my second time trying to set up
money, i've run into the same problem and have yet to find the answer in the
forum.)

i have four bank accounts and one is shared with a family member. i don't
want this account to show up at all in money essentials. i tried "closing"
it. i tried "hiding" it. i tried "deleting" it. but each time i go back to
"categorize my transactions," transactions from that account are still there.
