double assignment of transaction

Recently, some transactions entered in the primary checking account register have been DUPLICATED in a register for a credit card account. The bank checking account and the credit card account are unrelated and the categories assigned have nothing to do with the credit card account. The credit card is one that we rarely use and have no current activity on it. We do not download the transactions from the CC company.

Is the program or the file, or both, corrupted? How do I fix it?

Thanks, Ron

    Hi Ron

    I think it is very unlikely that the file is corrupted.

    In Moneydance all transactions are transfers between two accounts. The destination account is specified in the category field of the transaction. When you enter a transaction in Moneydance the corresponding and balancing entry is automatically created in the destination account/category. If you are seeing a transaction in a credit card account that should not be there it is because the credit card was selected as the category for the transaction in the source account. Go to the source account, find the transaction in question and change the category.

    Sincerely

    Thank you.

    We discovered that we had 'Bank' and 'Credit Card' accounts for AT&T,
    Discover, Home Depot and AmEX. Once we deleted the Bank account for these
    the problem cleared. We have no idea how the 'Bank' accounts were created.

    We are still very pleased that we moved to MD from Quicken.

    That is odd. I am not certain what the casue is. Perhaps something unusual about the way quicken produced the QIF file.

    I am sorry for the trouble this caused you.
