If you enter a cash transaction how do you also still be able to balance online with the bank balanc

I am sort of new to quicken, but I have cash expenses that I have paid for and would like to enter into the records but when I do that, the bank balance no longer balances when I do an update. Is there a special way to enter a cash expense for record keeping and not mess up knowing the bank balance?

Most folks setup a "Cash" account in Quicken in the Banking section (I have one named "Petty Cash").  As you withdraw cash from your bank account/ATM you post the bank withdrawal to this account.  Then when you spend the cash, you use that account to allocate your spending to various other expense categories.
