[moneydance] Transaction matching rules

[Sean Reilly]

Hi Ben,

Is it not an option to download QFX or OFX files instead of QIF?  That  
would prevent this problem completely.

Also, are you deleting the duplicate downloaded transactions or select  
the "new transaction" option from the popup?  If you are deleting then  
that is why Moneydance is attempting to repeatedly match downloaded  
transactions to the incorrect register transactions.

Thanks,
Sean
