Using Quicken deluxe '09 on Vista.
Quicken insists on crediting purchases and dividends to an account that has been cleaned out, the assets transferred to another account. Specifically Account "A" has been zeroed out, the stock has been transferred to Account "B". Stock purchased for Account "C" will be credited to Account "A". Dividends accrued to Account "C" will be credited to Account "A". Account "A" has never contained any of the stock that is being erroneously credited to it. This really creates a problem with the placeholders. When the erroneously credited purchase or dividend is credited to Account "A" I delete it and manually credit it to Account "C" where it belongs. Quicken refuses to believe the stock is not in Account "A" and nags at me to input the number of shares. I can't just delete Account "A", I have transactions in that account. I have tried deleting the nagging notices about placeholders but Quicken is very persistent. I have done the verification etc without relief. Suggestions are welcome.
