I'm using Quicken 2005 for the Mac and noticed this very weird discrepancy:
I have a file which has just one account with about 5 years worth of transactions in it (hundreds of transactions). It also has the default home category list. The file size is about 940 KB.
I just created a new file to track the account of our homeowner association. I deleted all of the categories save for five I am using in this account. This file has just one account in it and has only five (5) transactions. The file size is 1.1 MB.
Can anyone explain how the second account is larger, when it has so many fewer transactions and categories?
