Actually the question was, does it change? I assume not.

Try opening Money with Start-> Run and entering
"msmoney -s" without the quotes into the box.

No, the erroneous balance in the cash account remains
wrong when I change the view. The balance in the "linked"
investment account remains valid.

Anything else?

Does your balance change when you change the View for the register?

Hi Michael,

I am not Mark but I have exactly the same problem as Mark
on 2 of my 3 investment accounts.

So, since I see nothing more on this thread here, I'll
answer your question to Mark.

No I found no matching transaction in the cash account.
(I searched for it using the "account transactions"
report.)

Anything else?

Thanks in advance
Regis

I have this same problem with an Investment account and the
corresponding Cash Account: the 'Ending Cash Balance' shown in the
Investment account is different from the balance of the Cash account.
They should be identical.

I thought it must be a rogue transaction. After deleting *all* the
transactions I know it isn't!

So I now have an account with no transactions (and a $0 opening
balance) and a $0 cash balance but a positive balance in the
Investment account.

I think this happened because I had my checking account setup with
some transfers into the cash account before I downloaded all the
transactions from my broker. The fake balance on the investment
account is the total of these initial transfers.

Anyone know how to fix this, preferably without deleting the accounts?
I don't want to have to delete every transaction if this happens
again. (I already tried repairing using the 'msmoney -s' option)

Mark,

Does the amount of the discrepancy correspond to any single transaction in
the cash transaction register?

Michael,

On the portfolio screen of investments each account shows
the securities invested in and the cash balance in the
Investment account. For each investment account there is
an investment transaction register and a cash transaction
register (if you choose to track cash transactions). On
the Investment Transactions register on the bottom of the
register it gives the Ending Cash Balance (bottom left)
and the Market Value of the investment account (bottom
right)these figures correspond to what is on the
portfolio screen. The Cash Transaction register shows
the cash transactions (buy, sell, checks written,
transfers, deposits, etc...) that have occured in the
Investment Account, it also has a running balance for the
Cash Balance of the investment account. In a perfect
world the cash balance in the Cash transaction register,
the Ending Cash Balance in the Investment Transactions
register(bottom left) and the Cash Balance showing up on
the Portfolio for the Investment account should all
equal. My problem is they don't. The Cash Balance in
the Cash Transaction register does not equal the Ending
cash balance in the Investment Transactions register and
the Cash balance on the Portfolio (however, the portfolio
and Investment transaction cash balances do equal). The
cash balance in the Cash Transaction Register is the
correct balance, it ties with the bank and bank
statement, the balance on the other screens is incorrect.

Hopefully you can help.

Hopefully this helps Michael. If it doesn't you can call
me at work at 312-592-5331 to discuss.

Probably my problem, Mark, but I've read your message a couple of times and
can't figure out what the problem is. Could you try again?

I have a balancing problem. The ending cash balance on the
Investment Transactions register and the Cash Transactions
register for the same investment account does match. The
balance in the Cash Transactions register matches the bank
statement. The cash balance that shows up in the portfolio
for this Investment account is the balance on the
Investment transactions register. Does anyone else have
this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix? I have run
the quick file repair and the standard file repair and
neither worked. You help would be appreciated.

Mark
