I have Q07 and want to sell some shares of a Mutual fund and receive a check which I intend to deposit in a Savings account. I don't have a direct transfer set up for the Mutual fund to EFT the funds so I have to do it by check. What is the proper way to handle this in transaction in Q07? It appears that if I do a sell and transfer transaction with a transfer to the savings account the dates will be the same. If I put it into the mutual funds cash balance how do I get it out and into the checking account. All help is appreciated. Thanks
How to sell shares and deposit in Savings account.

Hi, Dick.
This is one of the times when it might help to have a "Cash on Hand" account. Then you could record the sell and transfer to this Cash account; later you would record the deposit of this Cash into your savings account.
(You did say, "how do I get it out and into the checking account", but you meant "savings account", didn't you?)
Of course, the "Cash on Hand" account can have any name you want; it will have a balance for only a short time and then revert to zero. I have such an account which I call "Undeposited Checks". We accountants often keep a "Suspense" account for just such transitory items; it can be either an asset account or a liability account, depending on the contents at any particular time.
