I don't know about Money 06, but in Money 04, what I'd do is this:
1) Make a backup.
2) See step 1.
3) Delete the transaction in question.
4) Re-download and categorize.
The only reason you might want to do this is that when you download
transactions, Money will associate an OFX transaction id with
every downloaded transaction. If you get the wrong transaction
id associated with a given transaction, you might end up with
future matching errors. This is generally not a big deal, you
simply correct them when they happen.
Which leads to option #2: do nothing, which is the option that I
personally would take. But if you want to be anal, just delete the
transaction in question and re-download. That will make sure that
the correct transaction id is associated with that transaction.
