Hello: I have an investment account that is linked to a cash account. Each
month I reconcile the cash account. For last month, I cannot reconcile the
cash. I download the information monthly from the brokerage. For last
month, there are security purchases and sales. Some of the transactions
downloaded correctly while others did not. For example, two purchases are
recorded in the investment account but the link to transfer the funds out
of the cash account are missing. And even though the entry form for the
Buy - shares bought includes wording, "Enter the purchase of shares of a
security (subtract the cost from my cash balance)." and the space for the
Account is filled in, it is greyed out and cannot be edited; moreover, the
Total cost is not appearing in the linked cash account nor, obviously, in
the reconciliation form. What can I do?

There are a few things you can try.

Delete, then manually re-enter, the Buy transactions; start with just one
to see if it makes any difference.

Try recalculating the investment account. With the cursor in the
"Transactions" tab of the account, hold down CTRL while keying the letter
"Z". You should get a small dialog box asking you to confirm that you
want to "Recalculate all transactions".

Try Validating a Quicken Copy of your data; if the Validated Copy does not
exhibit the problem, make that Validated Copy your regular file.

Backup before trying any of the above.

What do you do if the "Reconcile an Account" is grayed out in > Choose
Investing menu > Investing Activities > Reconcile an Account.
