DESPERATE FOR ANY HELP!!!!!

Hi, Carrie.

Are these downloaded transactions, or all manually entered?

RC

It was all manually entered

manually

Do you mean the opening balance of the account, or the opening balance of the reconciliation.

If it's the opening balance of the account, you've entered transactions which pre-date the opening balance transaction. Fix those dates, and that will fix the opening balance.

If it's the opening balance of the reconciliation, I would ignore it. Quicken recalculates the opening balance from the transactions it knew were reconciled, but you deleted some of them. Simply reconcile so the closing balance is correct and there is no reconciliation difference. That should bring you back up to date.

so if i am understanding this correctly when hit reconcile and the opening balance is off it lists one amount and the paper statement says another. so should i delete the incorrect number and put in the right one? then enter the closing balance from the paper statement? am i understanding this correctly?

this month i deleted some checks that were used to pay invoices and had been reconciled in 2005. i re-entered them and when to the checking account and clicked on it until the c and then R came up. i thought it would make it reconcile it. but instead when i started the end of the month paperwork the opening balance was off.
