If you enter transactions into Money and use online updates from your bank, Money compares the online updates to the information you entered to find any transactions that might have been entered twice-once by you and once by your bank.

• If a transaction from an online update (the bank entry) looks similar to a transaction you entered yourself, Money matches (The process of combining two transactions in your account register that are actually the same transaction. These duplicate transactions typically occur when you enter transactions manually and then download transactions from your bank.) the bank entry with your entry and then marks the match with an exclamation point (!).
• If Money cannot match a transaction from an online update with any of the transactions you entered, it marks the transaction with a question mark (?).

After you update an account (A group of transactions in Money for a single bank, brokerage, retirement, loan, or credit card account. Accounts can also track assets such as houses or vehicles, or investments that you want to watch but do not own. See also watch account.) online, review each transaction that is marked with an exclamation point or question mark to determine whether it duplicates a transaction you entered previously.
