Quicken 2001 Deluxe, Windows ME
My Quicken file has about 12 years of data. I reconcile accounts monthly. A few days ago I did lots of cleanup--used Find/Replace to recategorize many entries, deleted resulting unused categories, deleted never to be used again memorized transactions, and corrected many misspellings in memorized transactions and in the entered data.
I compared account totals both before and after and all looked fine. But today I tried to reconcile an account and up popped the Reconciliation Notice. I clicked Resolve and the earliest statement ending date appearing is 1/4/01 (but should be from 1995) and shows a Register Ending Balance of -$17,885.89. Of course the register has never had a negative balance and is in the $4000 range. Reconciliations for 2/1/01 and 3/1/01 also show discrepancies but no statements after that show discrepancies. None of the account entries appear unusual.
I tried Validate and Super Validate and no error showed.
Any ideas?
I could revert to the backup I made just before the cleanup and do a cleanup again. But, are there any gotchas in cleaning up as I have described?
