I am updating Quicken, either through Quicken or exporting them from my bank. But when I went to balance the statement, it wasn't even close. On my old Quicken versions, I had to pay my bills online, then I went to quicken and entered them all there, and then entered them all a third time in my bank register booklet. Now with this new Quicken 2005, I thought the download would take care of that, but what I think I am seeing is that it just downloads checks that have cleared, not checks you just paid through online, so I never really know my balance. I don't care if the check has cleared or not, I want to know my balance after just writing the check, not whether it has cleared or not. I don't know if I have made myself clear here or not, I know what I mean, but don't know how to describe it ery well. Hopefully someone out there will understand my dilemma. I am not sure now if my Quicken balance includes uncleared checks or not. As soon as I pay a bill online, I want to export it to Quicken so it shows up there. But I don't think I can do that. I also notice Quicken doesn't say who the check was written to, just says check. So if anyone can help clear this up, I would appreciate it. Maybe Quicken
2003 is easier, even if it is way more time consuming, but I would think the latest Quicken would be the best. Thank you.- posted
