How do I get out of this pickle?

I would work your way back in time printing your Net worth reports until you find they match your original reports. Since the report is basically your account balances as of that particular date you'll be able to identify the account that is incorrect. Hopefully you don't have to go back too far back in time. You'll need to pull out your statements for the account that is out of balance and work your way forward until you find the transaction that is either missing or was posted with an incorrect date.

Hi, Gary.

Laura's method should work.

Before you do that, though, you might check dates VERY carefully. In switching back and forth, you may be having some of your reports AS OF some past date, while others are as of TODAY, or the end of THIS year, or the latest date used in whichever system you were running at the time.

Good suggestion and one I'm beginning to look at.

The first thing I found out is that I have "hidden" some accounts (companies that went out of business, accounts I have closed, etc.) and their totals do not get included in the net worth report, unless they are "unhidden". In my case this will involve at least two dozen accounts. Fortunately, it seems to be possible to tell Q in one place (in the Net Worth report) to include hidden accounts in the report?

Run the net worth report and hit customize. On the Accounts tab you can select to show hidden accounts. Then select just those accounts that you want included in the report. Maybe you should unhide them all and see what account totals are not matching. Just watch the dates on the reports you are generating to make sure they match the hard copy reports you are replicating.

If these accounts are closed then the current balance of the accounts

*should* be zero and should not impact your net worth report. Unhide all of your accounts and verify that is still the case. I had one hidden account that mysteriously was no longer $0. I never figured out what was deleted because I no longer had the account statements.

Thanks very much for your help, Laura and R.C. I followed the Laura-plan and was careful about the dates. I discovered the offending account and added the transactions that were obviously missing.

The world can be a beautiful place!
