No, I imported about 25 years of transactions from a program called
Microsoft Money. Microsoft no longer supports that program and does not work
on a Windows 10 computer. When I did the import, a number of categories had
slightly different naming convention as does MoneyTalks.
When I started reviewing the category list, I found hundreds of transaction
that needed to be changed to make the report more meaningful. I manually
converted some of the entries, but when you have to re-categorize hundreds
of transaction it is too tedious.
What I would really like to do is create a move statement saying that any
transactions with category A, be moved to category b.
Changing the category.ini file is great for fixing up the name or correct
the spelling.

Re: Editing Categories
are you saying that you have categories with the exact same name? if you
open the category.ini file I pointed Rebecca to you should be able to fix it
there.

Re: Editing Categories
I have been reviewing my transaction list sorted by category and found that
there are large block of transaction in a duplicate category entry.
Does anyone know how to move large number of transaction from one category
to another category. I want to consolidate the transaction. I have done
some of them manually, but it is very time consuming.

Of course, its much easier, though perhaps a bit more tedious for power
users, to remove unwanted categories the official way. Simply use the arrow
keys to select the unwanted category, and press Ctrl+D.

Bob,
Thanks for your help, however I inserted my name in the below file path and
pasted it into the run dialog box and it didn't work. I received an error
message that the file destination was not found.
Thanks!

You need to go to
C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\aph\Money Talks\category.ini
Open the category ini file and edit it how you wish. make sure you note how
the file is formatted.

Hi,
I am fairly new to Money Talks and I was wondering if there is a way to edit
the list of categories. There are some categories that I will not be
needing, and if possible I was wanting to have the categories reflect more
categories that I would use. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rebecca
