That's where the reconciliation process comes in. Not only do you get the Quicken records balanced with what really happened, the old transactions are automatically flagged as having been cleared; and there's a lot more cash transaction activity than there is check activity. --- Via Silver Xpress V4.3dP [Reg] * Origin: FOG-Line BBS - 515-964-7937 - 1:290/627 (1:290/627) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 249 QUICKEN Ref: DFJ00015 Date: 11/12/96 From: BRUCE WILSON Time: 07:47am \/To: MARTIN MARINELLI (Read 9 times) Subj: Re: CASH & QUICKEN On 11 Nov 96 12:03pm, Martin Marinelli wrote to Bruce Wilson: MM> Nothing.

Sorry late to this thread, ALL Quicken networth reports are incorrect. It provides no way to track Life Insurance (whole). As you know Life accumulates a cash value as well as a benefit value, quicken can't handle the situation.

I have two questions about investment transactions. 1. I have withholdings from my weekly check towards a 401k account. The stocks are purchased once a month through my company. The only way I could think of to keep track of the withholdings was to create an account for that money then when the stocks are purchased, draw the funds from that account. Is there a better way? 2. I receive a check for dividends for a stock holding. I then deposits this check into my checking account. How to I enter this deposit to give credit to the stock fund for the income? Thanks to anybody with any advise or hints.
