I would like to disable placeholders for one account, but can't

Unknown

If I go to Preferences, "Download transactions preferences", "Edit Settings", the account I want to disable placeholders is not listed here. I do have the account setup as "Keep this account separate" and may be causing the problem. Any ideas?

Have you tried temporarily unchecking Keep this account separate?

Yes I tried unchecking "Keep this account separate" but did not help. I think since "downloading transactions" is not enabled, could be the problem. They are old. I am trying to go back far in the account and change how I report items. Thanks.

Sounds like you want to remove the placeholder transactions.  If you haven't already, you may want to review: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/how-do-you-delete-remove-a-place-holder-entry-do...

Or if you really want to delete all the placeholders, do a backup first, then click on Placeholder entries at the bottom of the Transaction list (register) and at the bottom right click on Delete all.

As others have posted, it is generally better to resolve the placeholders by adding or correcting other transactions so that the number of shares the placeholders are adding or removing is zero before deleting them.

Thanks. Once I deleted all the placeholders at the bottom of the page, I don't get them anymore. I therefore won't see anymore errors.
