Tracking transfers between accounts (Money 2003 Deluxe)

Hi Anu,

This is what should happen. If you set up an automatic
weekly transfer from savings to chequing at your bank,
your savings will go up by that amount every week and your
chequing will go down.
In Money, you have probably setup an automatic deposit to
savings, then added the transfer from chequing to savings,
which is likely then showing two instances of deposits to
your savings account, when you only want the one
instance.
The transfer fr chequing to savings entry, which affected
both accounts is the correct one. You should delete the
deposit only entry to the savings account.
If this is not what you did, then repost again.
