How to change a Mortgage 'Split Transaction'

ProBowler

Even though my mortgage payment is not due until the first of each month, I tend to pay it a few days ahead. That means that Quicken's pre-calculated interest for any given month is not what my lender is crediting me with. Specifically, Quicken is showing $534.78 interest paid this month. I actually paid $536.40 or $1.62 more. That itself is confusing - why would I need to pay more if I am paying it sooner. I'll leave that question alone for now.
I changed the split amount of interest to reflect what I actually paid but the mortgage balance did not update. What am I doing wrong?
Also, if I click on the interest paid, a dialog box says, "In order to change it, you must go to the source transaction by using 'Go To matching transfer' from the edit button. Okay, except I cannot find the 'Go To'. Double H E L P ! ! !

I don't have a mortgage account, so I can't help you with the interest calculation, sorry. Maybe I can help with your other questions.

When changing the amounts in a split transaction, you must click the Adjust button to force Quicken to recalculate the total of the split lines.

To go to the other side of a transfer from a split, click on the split line and you should see an Edit drop-down menu. Go to Transfer is in that menu.
