Quicken 2007, Single Mutual Fund, Cash Balance, Scheduled Trans

Jun 13, 2007 0 Replies

I'm really getting frustrated with Q2007. This was so easy in Q2004 and prior versions.



First, I can't seem to get my single mutual fund accounts to NOT show a cash balance in Quicken. These are Vanguard accounts, with no associated cash balance. Just tonight, I created a new single mutual fund account for one of my funds, then manually re-entered 4 years worth of transactions. All is good -- no cash balance. Then I go to Vanguard to download the latest, and the next thing I know, the account now shows a "Cash Bal" column.



The cash balance issue wouldn't be such a problem, except that I can't figure out how to create a scheduled transaction that transfers money from my checking account and buys shares in a mutual fund at an estimated share price. Previous versions did this with no problem. Now, any scheduled transaction I create, just moves money to the cash balance as (XIn). Yes, I eventually download from Vanguard, but the downloaded transactions don't jive with the XIn scheduled cash transaction. And I want the scheduled transactions to exist to help project my checking balance.



Am I doing something wrong or is Quicken just getting worse with every update?
