WHAT ANSWER? I haven't seen an answer, I've reloaded this entire discussion and can't find any answer and I very much NEED to get this fixed, my alternative is going to have to be to discontinue using Quicken if I can't reconcile the account. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/

From: Art McClinton on 18 Jun 2010 17:11 You have had several answers suggested to you. When I moved over from MS Money I had several similar unbalanced situations while getting into production. I thought you had resolved the problem when you said you had found it. If you are having difficulties at this point I would 1) drop back to a backup where the problem does not show an error. You said it balanced a month ago (probably now 2 months). Restore that backup and note the account balance at the time it was balanced. Then go to the current file and verify that the account balance on the same day (and transaction) is the same. If it is not then you need to look at what happened previous to that day, otherwise you are limited to items since that day. I had one case where I simply allowed it to put a transaction so I could balance. I did not want to continue searching for the less than a dollar difference I feel your frustration and hope you are able to find it.

In effect, you're asking the wrong question. You don't change the start date to go back to a previous reconcile ... you change the net amount of reconciled transactions. Which I pointed out on June 11 in this thread. And reminded again June 15 .... which you quoted when you submitted this post I'm replying to. -- John Pollard news://<YOUR-NNTP-NEWSERVER-HERE>/alt.comp.software.financial.quicken Your source of user-to-user Quicken help

Usually it was caused by a duplicate transaction or a mismatching of a downloaded transaction. I just pull up the bank account online and work my way backwards month by month until I find where the balance in Q no longer matches the balance on the website. Then I narrow it down within that month until I find the transaction(s) causing the problem. In my case, I narrowed it down to my being lazy where I hit the "accept all transaction" blindly. I no longer do that and only occasionally get duplicate transactions. |
