Hi there,

This is probably a noob thing, and I'm not sure if this is considered
reconciliation or not, but here is my problem:

Since I download transactions from my chequings account, there is
already an entry for my pay cheque deposit, but when I enter the
scheduled deposits, including my pay cheque, I end up with a double
credit.

If I didn't use scheduled deposits, this wouldn't be a problem, but
then I would'nt be able to use the cashflow feature.

Hopefully someone can help with this.

Thanks!

Make sure the scheduled transaction is entered in your Quicken
register before you Accept the downloaded transaction. [Anytime
before you Accept the downloaded transaction ... even after you
have downloaded.]

If the scheduled transaction is already in your register, the
downloaded transaction should be given a Status of "Match"; if a
"match" transaction is Accepted, it doesn't create a new entry
im your register.

If Quicken does not give the downloaded transaction a "match"
status, you need to use "Manual Match" to make the match
yourself.
