My CU supports only OFC and QIF for Money, not OFX.

Default Re: Transfers from one account to another.

Not sure if it makes sense or not until I go home and play
with it. I was hoping for an easier way so that when the
download appears in Money, the transfer would auto appear
correctly without having to edit it. Thank for your help.

Default Transfers from one account to another.

Sorry, don't have an answer but I want to know the answer
to your question too. All my statements are downloaded
and if I tell Money this is a transfer, it makes an
additional transfer that I don't want it to.

Default Transfers from one account to another.

I am using Money 2003. I have about 8 accounts at 2
different banks. I update MS Money online only, I never
input any other transactions any other way. I often
transfer money from one account to another digitaly or
via cheque deposit or other means. I can recognize
transfers that happen to both accounts as being money
deposited in one account and removed from the other. How
do I tell MS Money that this is a transfer and that these
amounts should not be added to my total income and total
expenses. I do find a transfer option under 'Catagory'
but if I select the apropriate Transfer option, MS Money
adds in extra fields, as if I am asking it to transfer
this transaction to the other account. Do I need to
create transactions this way then delete the originals?
Is this really the way MS suggests we do this? Is this an
abnormal transaction?
