Instead, use the derived number as the starting balance. That also assumes there are no outstanding transactions that have not been recorded. -- Chris Cowles Gainesville, FL |

| Re: Enter acct balance then....? Thanks, Cal. I did the "adjustment" bit but thought there might be another way. Don't know how I would zero out the starting balance...seems to me that once you initiate the account and put in a starting balance you are stuck with it.

The first thing I would do is to zero the starting balance for the account. After you have entered all of the past transactions that you care to, I would note the balance of the register. Subtract that from the "known" balance, and make a single compensating transaction dated prior to all other transactions. Either give it no category, or make an adjustment category. - quote - > I

| Enter acct balance then....? Newbie here. Just started using Money. I obediently entered the closing balance from my last statement and then started plugging in transactions after that date...now the checkbook and the balance in Money do not agree. Worked great with Quicken...I just got tired of talking to people in Bangladore. Short of deleting the account and starting over with a phony "ending balance" that would make the two agree (and then poking all subsequent transactions back in again :-( , is there an easier method? I want to start Money out as of 1-1-06. Bob Gardner |
