Download QIF file to update mortgage account

I'm using Money 2004. I can setup a mortgage account, but I can't setup the
online services for it. For my other bank acnts, I go the bank website,
download history for the account and specify which acnt to update. When I
try to download the mortgage transactions, Money asks which acnt to update
and lets me select from a drop down list. My mortgage acnt is not on that
list. I cannot type an entry into the field, only choose from the list. I
also tried doing the download and creating a new acnt from it. Problem is,
it won't let me create a loan account from the download. Any ideas on how
to make this work? BTW, when Money opens the QIF file, it thinks it is a
'Line of Credit'.

Thanks,
Tim

Updating the checking account used to pay the mortgage should automatically
update the mortgage account, if you allocate the payments properly. I don't
think Money can update a mortgage account directly with a QIF import. If it
did, it would end up duplicating posts to the checking account, don't you
think?
