Maybe this is too simple an answer but...

Assuming you made a payment of the last statement balance, if you have
made any purchases since the statement date which are in the register,
your balance will not be zero. It will be the sum of purchases since
the last statement date. Mine never is, for that reason, although I
pay the card monthly.

Ahhh... Good.

I suggest you try the "Advanced ". You can always change it back if
it does not appeal to you.

Tools-> Settings-> AccountSettings(global)-> DisplayAllAccountsInTheAdvancedRegister
is an easy way to do that to all accounts. I am thinking that when
you look at the register with the running Balance column, that
things will be clearer to you. Note that the YouOwe at the bottom is
positive if you owe the credit card company, and would go negative
if the sum of the register transactions show you have a credit
balance. Also note that the Bank Balance near the upper right is a
downloaded value-- not a computed value. That is also duplicated in
the upper left under the Downloaded heading.


Ctrl+T will toggle the register between single-line and multi-line
mode.

Cal, Thanks for the quick response. I am using money deluxe. In money deluxe
there is an essentials and and advanced option for budgeting. As a beginner,
I have not started the advanced option yet. I did try the quick fix to no
avail. Any other ideas?

Do you have File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair ? You could see
if that helps.

I don't use Essentials myself. Deluxe would give you more detail to
know what is going on.

Hi,

I am using the essential register. For my discover card, all my transactions
are complete. A payment was just received which should have made my balance
0. However, my balance is way high. I've looked at a bunch of threads and
help and cannot seem to get the answer I need. Can someone help please?
