Your Money
file (A computer
file that stores the information that you enter into Money. A
single Money file can contain many accounts, so if you have a new
account, bank, or brokerage, you can add those accounts to the
Money file that you already use.) may contain two versions
of some
accounts
(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.) . It's a good
idea to merge these accounts so that you can find all of your
account information in one place.
The easiest way to merge accounts is to have Money merge them
for you. To use this method, see Merge duplicate
accounts in the related topics below.
If Money can't merge the accounts for you, you can merge them
yourself by exporting the information from the original account
that you added manually, and then re-importing it to the duplicate
online account, where it will be merged.
