For me, if/when it gets out of whack it's because of some behind-the-scenes
process over which I have no control. Something's nutty, for sure...

As far as I know, Money doesn't try to edit your transactions. I make
multiple $40 deposits because that's a common bill to some of my
clients. Money has never tried to combine them. It sometimes _does_ get
confused about which downloaded transaction goes with which manually
entered transaction, but there's only so much it can do. I don't want
Money making assumptions.

Don't forget about the nut that holds the wheel. That's the case for my
problems about half the time.

Thanks, Steve. Adjusting the beginning balance and manually adding the
missing entries did it.

Still, I wonder why the two entries failed to show in MM+. Two possibilities
come to mind:

1. MM+ figured they were duplicates and just dropped them; if so, that's
kind of wrong - I should be given the option of deleting the duplicates. I
don't know if this is the case, because I have other identical transactions
which are reflected in register line items. For example, Dollar Tree
double-billed me on 2 separate transactions, and both billings showed up for
both transactions.

2. Whatever method MM+ is using to retrieve transactions from Woodforest
National Bank is wonky; maybe Woodforest is deciding those entries are
duplicates and not supplying them to MM+ (whether in a file, HTML/XML
stream, whatever). I don't know if this is the case since all transactions
are displayed on the website (but that may be a wholly separate process from
the transaction retrieval that MM+ uses).

In any case, thanks again Steve.

Make sure you are in Advanced Register as indicated to the upper
right in the register.

Note that right below where it says Advanced Register is the
BankBalance. That is the balance number last downloaded from the
bank. At the lower right is the EndingBalance. That is the sum of
your transactions plus the initial balance. It will match the latest
running balance when you sort by date. I brought those up in case
you were looking at BankBalance, which is not affected by what
transactions are in your register.

Now if that does not explain it, change the View to AllTransactions.
Does the EndingBalance change? Try the same for Unreconciled and
UnAccepted transactions views. The EndingBalance should not change
by changing the view. If it does, check back.

1. From Windows Explorer, make a copy of your data file. Give it an
obvious name like "Copy of my money file to figure out bad balance.mny"
so you won't confuse it with the real thing later. Put it on your
desktop so you can find it easily.
2. Double-click the copy you made to open it.
3. Adjust the starting balance of your problem account by $100.02.
4. Add the missing transactions.
5. Check the current balance on the account.
6. Go back and adjust the starting balance the other direction, because
everyone always does it backwards the first time.

Once you prove to yourself that it's working, open your _real_ Money
file and repeat the process on live data.

It looks like it has been, if I factor in .02 (2 cent) transaction, which is
also missing. What can I do about that?

I sorted by amount, but still I don't see the missing $100 transaction. I
see 4 other $100 transactions, but not that one.

I still only see the other 4. There is still one missing.

Thanks, Steve.

Check your view settings. Maybe you're hiding reconciled transactions, and
that one is accidentally reconciled.

Look at the opening balance. Has it been adjusted by $100?

Maybe the transaction has a very old date that doesn't show up on your
screen. Check your view settings for this, too.

Type <Ctrl> +F to bring up the "Find" dialog box; click the "Advanced..."
button; choose the "Advanced search:" radio button; click the "Next> "
button; click "Reset Criteria"; choose the "Amount" tab; fill in the
amount to search on; click "Next> ". Search through here for your
transaction. Check it carefully to see what might be odd about it.

I pulled an update from Woodforest, and it updated ok. When I compare the
MM+ register listing to the online one for the bank, there's a $100
transaction on the bank's website which does not show in MM+ - but the
balances are in agreement, to the penny.

How can that be?
