Investment account link to cash

Hello: I have an investment account that is linked to a cash account. Each month I reconcile the cash account. For last month, I cannot reconcile the cash. I download the information monthly from the brokerage. For last month, there are security purchases and sales. Some of the transactions downloaded correctly while others did not. For example, two purchases are recorded in the investment account but the link to transfer the funds out of the cash account are missing. And even though the entry form for the Buy - shares bought includes wording, "Enter the purchase of shares of a security (subtract the cost from my cash balance)." and the space for the Account is filled in, it is greyed out and cannot be edited; moreover, the Total cost is not appearing in the linked cash account nor, obviously, in the reconciliation form. What can I do?

There are a few things you can try.

Delete, then manually re-enter, the Buy transactions; start with just one to see if it makes any difference.

Try recalculating the investment account. With the cursor in the "Transactions" tab of the account, hold down CTRL while keying the letter "Z". You should get a small dialog box asking you to confirm that you want to "Recalculate all transactions".

Try Validating a Quicken Copy of your data; if the Validated Copy does not exhibit the problem, make that Validated Copy your regular file.

Backup before trying any of the above.
