I used "Archive Transactions" to reduce the number of transactions in one of my accounts. I'm using Q Premier 19.44 for Windows.
Excellent results in terms of reducing the number of transactions. I'm left with one odd result which I cannot seem to fix.
My new archive account has a zero total balance. However, the account has a positive cash balance of $736.88 and a negative securities balance of $736.88. I have attached a screen shot of the balance from the register of the archive account. My main investment account has a correct total but the securities balance is too high by $736.88 and the cash balance is too low by $736.88. In total, these two accounts have correct balances for investments and cash. I would like to make a simple adjustment which corrects this problem but I have not been able to find a way to do it.
I believe the issue arose because of a placeholder transaction which was in the file prior to the archive process.
I'm also attaching a screen shot of an adjustment (balancing) transaction that was created at the time of the archive process which provides some hint as to what is going on. This transaction appears in my main investment account. If I attempt an edit to this transaction, Quicken will not allow it (see additional screen shot).
I'm also attaching a screen shot of the result of clicking on "Holdings" in the archive account. The balances (summing to zero) are evident but the odd part here is there are no securities holdings even though there is a securities balance.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
