Quicken Account to an account that I did not track in Quicken, I
did a transfer to the same account in Quicken where the money was
being deposited or removed but with the account name in [ . .]
brackets as the source/destination. This worked well for money I
did not want to track in Quicken.</p>
<p>eg Transfer $100 into account ABC in Quicken from an place not
monitored by Quicken: In account ABC I would put a deposit of $100
from account [ABC], resulting in an increase of $100 in the balance
on account ABC.</p>
<p>How do I do the equivalent in MD 2015 (Windows)? In MD I cannot
transfer money "to the same account" as in Quicken, so how do I
code a transaction to make this work?</p></div>IanJGCtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/387993682015-12-30T15:01:06Z2015-12-30T15:01:06ZTransfers from Accounts not in MD database - like I could in Quicken<div><p>Hi</p>
<p>I believe the simplest solution is to create an expense category
called "Transfers out". Then when you enter the transaction select
that expense category.</p>

I guess that would be the easy way - I was thinking more
complicated! - Thanks</p></div>IanJGC
