Resolving 401K Cash Difference

Using Q2007 Deluxe & Windows XP Home.

My bi-weekly paycheck (manually set up - no paycheck wizard) has memorized employee contribution and employer matching transfers to my

401k every other Friday. The following Monday, money market and stock purchases are recorded via download from TRowe Price.

I have data in Quicken for this 401K dating back for 15+ years, but recently I finally attempted to resolve a cash difference in the 401K that appeared for securities purchased transactions for 2/22/05. There are four transactions representing employee pretax contributions and employer matches for the stock and mm securities. The transactions had ?N/A? in the ?Cash Amt? fields. I started by deleting the four transactions. Placeholders are not visible in the 401K transaction register despite setting Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program > Investment transactions to "Show hidden transactions", but they are visible, dated 3/4/05, within the ?Holdings? screen of the 401k ?Summary? tab.

Now, when I add back the missing transactions, either directly into the register by doing ?Buy ? Shares Bought? transactions (and being mindful of ?Cash Source?), or by trying to resolve the placeholders in the ?Holdings? section of the ?Summary? tab, I still get ?N/A? in the ?Cash Amt? field. A Balancing Cash Adjustment transaction is also created at this time, who's purpose to me is puzzling because it shows an increase in cash in the ?Cash Amt? field rather than a decrease, and because it has no effect on the ?Cash Bal? column.

I must be missing something simple. Any thoughts about next steps?
