SYMPTOMS
If you enter transactions in the Account Register instead of the account transaction forms, you enter a value in the Payment field, and then try to include a deposit value, such as &quot;0&quot; or any other value, the payment value is deleted.



CAUSE
Microsoft Money does not permit you to enter amounts into both the Payment and the Deposit fields on a single line.

Microsoft Money transactions can be either a payment or a deposit, but not both.



MORE INFORMATION
If a transaction is a combination of two different transaction types, such as a deposit with cash returned, the transaction should be split into the two (or more) individual components by entering it as a split transaction.

For example, an $800.00 deposit transaction based on a $1000.00 check with $200.00 cash returned should be split as follows:  Create a new transaction.

Enter a payee name in the Payee field or the Pay To field. Enter 800.00 in the Payment field or the Amount field. Type Split in the Category field or press CTRL+S.

The Split Transaction dialog box appears.  Enter your data:      Description             Amount

Pay check              1000.00 cash returned          (200.00)    indicate negative

Amount unassigned      0.0        1000.00 - 200.00 = 800.00, the transaction deposit amount 



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
