MS Money Question

How do you put an Egg Money account onto it? It has a different interest rate for plus and minus, and I can't really find a place for it.
Any ideas?

It's a long time since I used MS Money, but I can see your problem. Would it help to have it set up as 2 accounts?
For example, say you have £500 in there. You buy something for £750 on the card. In MS Money you treat this as 2 transactions - on of £500 coming off Egg Money IN leaving the balance there as nil, and one £250 coming out of Egg Money OUT leaving the balance there as £250 owed. Egg Money IN and Egg Money OUT would have different interest rates.
You'd probably still have a bit of adjusting to do from time to time but I think this might work

Yup, I think Lizzy's way of doing it is the best way. Sadly there is no current feature in the software to do this on just one account. Great bit of software though

That's the only way I could think of doing it, thanks
One for the next update I think

Nearest I could find was to set it up as a current account with overdraft but then it appears in bank accounts instead of credit accounts & still only tracks 1 interest rate.0
