Treasurer's Report

For a single Quicken non-investment account: open the account to its register, then click "Report" in the register menu bar, then "Register Report".

Thanks! Turns out that the report is called a "Transaction Report" in Q2006 and it is a bit of an odd duck [which is, perhaps, why I didn't notice its treasurer-ness before..:o)]: If you tell it NOT to group the transactions at all, you do, in fact, get a "treasurer's report": starting balance, ending balance and the transactions listed in chronological order. BUT: if you tell it to do ANY sort of grouping, then the treasurer-ness goes away [e.g., I tried to get the transactions groups by category instead of chronological, but that doesn't just change the order of listing/grouping, it changes the entire report]. But overall, it was just what I was looking for... Thanks!!

I find that in Q2008, I can "group" transactions by using any of the "Sort by" choices without losing the balance forward and ending balance.

I can also keep the balance-forward/ending-balance when I "Subtotal by" a "period" (like "Month").

Only when I use the "Subtotal by" with non-date type choices (like Category or Payee) do I lose the balance forward and ending balance.

I think balance-forward and ending-balance are not meaningful to transactions subtotalled by Category or Payee, etc.; just to transactions subtotalled by a date of some type (which includes "Don't subtotal").
