Why does it double up on my transactions, in my bank and visa statements?

Question

Why does it double up on my transactions, in my bank and visa statements? Each time I open Quicken, whether I update the files or not, there are 2 of each transaction. The only way to remove them is one by one deleting, but then they come back next time I am in the program.

1) Are you Syncing to Mobile/Web?

AND

2) do you actually use the Mobile app on your smartphone or the Quicken on the Web browser-based app?

The Sync process has been suspected of a number of weird happenings with Quicken.

Could your problem be caused by Sync?

If you answer "yes" to the 1st question and "no" to the 2nd question, turn Sync off completely. You don't need it. The Sync process should only be used in conjunction with the Quicken app for Smartphones or the Quicken on the Web browser app. It cannot be used as a replacement for backing up and restoring your Quicken data file.

If you answer "yes" to both questions, try to Reset Sync so that the current cloud sync file is replaced with a fresh complete copy

Do note that a full Sync process may take many minutes to complete.

How to reset Sync to Cloud

• Log out of your mobile app, then do this on your desktop / laptop:

• Go to Edit / Preferences / Mobile and Web

• Click the "Reset your cloud data" link and follow the instructions until it is complete.

• Sync your desktop file to the cloud

• Now log back into your mobile app

How to turn off Sync to Cloud for the current data file

• Go to Edit / Preferences / Mobile and Web

• Change the Sync radio button and set it to OFF

I am getting my transactions directly from the bank and visa companies by uploadng the info from their web sites via Quicken.

I am not using anything else except Quicken desktop.

Are you using QMobile and/or Q-Web in-conjunction with desktop Quicken?
