expect.</p>
<p>A split acts like a Xfr transaction before the money is posted
in the account, so a pre-post transfer, and thus I would expect the
money to appear in the other account then I expect to see a Buy
transaction to complete the purchase.</p>
<p>A BuyXfr is two transactions in one, it is effectively saying
buy the security but go and get the money from this other account
to do it with.</p>
<p>So when importing the QIF file (and I envisage that is what you
are doing) Moneydance are acting on these action commands and
creating the appropriate entries to match.</p>
<p>vi eh well at least it is not ed :)</p></div>dwg
