From Account Settings for that account, tick TrackCashTransactions.

The Account List view shows the combined value of the Cash + Investment
portions of the associated accounts. I don't know of a way to get it to show
the cash account portion separate from the investment portion.

Default Re: problem with cash balance of investment account.

Cal had it right. A couple of my transactions entered as Add/Remove instead
of cash transactions...that fouled up my balance.

One issue remains...when I view my Account list. The investment account
shows up with the investment balance, but there's no listing of my cash
account. I checked to be sure I didn't label it as closed and it's not.
How do I get it to show up so I have an accurate total for my accounts?

Thanks again!

Default Re: problem with cash balance of investment account.

Thanks for the prompt reply!!

I think I'll do as you suggest and make a compensating transaction. I'll
then keep a close eye on my daily updates to see if there's another
divergence.

My downloaded transactions do include sweeps. There are a few add/remove
shares...I'll look at them tonight.

I'll post again in a couple of days, once I do some more testing.

Again, thank you for taking the time to help!

I would start with the Cash Transactions page. Decide how you want
to handle this. You can get the cash transactions corrected, make
one or more compensating transactions, or a combination.

Do your downloaded transactions include Buy and Sell of your sweep
money market fund, or is that not reflected in the downloads? If the
former, the cash balance would be zero when there is not a buy or
sell that has not yet settled.

Are you downloading Buys Sells, Dividends only into the investment
transactions? Or are there any AddShares or RemoveShares in the
investment transactions? If you have any AddShares or RemoveShares,
they will not make a needed entry (needed to have the cash balance
correct) into the cash transactions.


Get your statement for a period way back in time from your broker's
website. Sort the account by date. Try to match things up for that
time. If you can, good. If not, consider making a compensating
deposit or withdrawal to make it match. It would be nice if you can
figure out where the divergences are coming from.

Default problem with cash balance of investment account.

Hi

I'm using Money 2006 Deluxe. I update online regularly.

I have an investment/stock account that is having issues. When I look at it
in the Account Summary it shows an incorrect cash balance. The investment
balance is pretty close to the actual...just off because of some minor
differences in stock quotes. But, the cash balance is way off. Also when I
compare the Total Account Value from the Account Summary page to the total
shown on the Account List, it's way off.

I'm having a hard time figuring out where the problem is. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!

Scott
