= SUMMARY =

When you export a Money Account in QIF (Quicken Interchange Format), voided transactions do not retain their amounts. When you import this QIF file back into Money, voided transactions display as $0 amounts. This is by design to comply with industry QIF standards.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Money maintains a record of the original amount of a transaction when it is voided. Money can then unvoid a voided transaction and restore the original transaction.

After you import an account, Money is unable to restore any transactions previously voided.

NOTE: When you export a Money account in Loose QIF, voided transactions retain their amount in Money versions 1.0 and 2.0.

= STEPS TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM =

  Create a new bank account. Call it TEST1 and give it an opening balance of $1000.   Add the following transaction: Num Date Payee/Memo/Category C Payment Deposit Balance 100 1/1/95 John Smith 399.00 601.00   Void this transaction. You will see the following: Num Date Payee/Memo/Category C Payment Deposit Balance 100 1/1/95 John Smith R 399.00 VOID   Export this account in either Loose QIF or Strict QIF format.   Create a new bank account. Call it TEST2 and give it an opening balance of $0.   Import the .QIF file into the new TEST2 bank account.   The resulting transaction will show as follows: Num Date Payee/Memo/Category C Payment Deposit Balance 100 1/1/95 John Smith R 0.00 VOID
