As you have picked up, quite often during the migration process, Quicken will create a placeholder transaction in one or more accounts where it thinks it has an incorrect balance or is missing cost basis information. Until that placeholder transaction is changed, Quicken will try to maintain what it thinks it the correct balance of share or dollars, rolling anything you enter into the placeholder transaction amount. It would be comical if it weren't so frustrating: no matter what you enter, your account share balance remains unchanged.I know you said you didn't see any placeholders, but I'm pretty convinced from your description that you do, indeed have a placeholder transaction which is causing your problem. Try scrolling back to the beginning of time in each account. What you're looking for is a gray transaction which is dated the day before your first transaction. Here's an example from my conversion from Quicken 2007: When you find it, open the transaction and you'll see a window like this:Depending on the nature of your issue, you can often just delete the placeholder. (In this example, Quicken has a problem with rounding, and thinks it's off by 0.000000000001 shares.)
By the way: Does snyone know if there is a User Guide documentation for Quicken 2017 fr MAC like they have had before? I can't find one on the web site and also not in the application. Thanks, Greg
