Lose the link between my checking account and the Asset account that I transfer it to.

Roger McCartney

This has occurred 2 times since 1/24/2018. I posted the problem in April 2020 and it was suggested that syncing the checking register with a data set in the Quicken Cloud may breaking the transfer transaction. I found the identical error today with the same accounts. To summarize the issue: I write a check and and list the category which is the Asset account. Initially this links the transfer OK. This asset account is now inactive, but I did not delete it. I did hide it in the Account list. Not sure when this occurred but each time I discovered it was when I was doing a balance sheet report and it showed that account as having a balance. In the checks that paid off that account it gave a message as unknown account. I did not make any changes to the checks and there were only 2 going into this account.

I just found another account that lost the link Between my checking and my loan account. One thing in common was that the loan was paid off so the loan account was hidden, not deleted, just hidden. Could this be a problem?
Thanks for your help!

Hello @Roger McCartney,

Thank you for providing this additional information, although I apologize that you have not yet received a follow-up response.

Do you use the Quicken Mobile or Web applications, by chance? If not, you may consider turning the Mobile Sync off to determine if doing so will resolve this behavior moving forward.

I personally have experienced an intermittent issue of this nature when using Transfers in Quicken and then syncing to the Mobile App, so it's definitely worth a try!

If that does not work for you, or if the issue persists, you may also consider unhiding the account(s) from the Account List for a few days, just to see if doing so makes any impact. However, I don't believe that to be the culprit in this situation.

Please let us know how you'd like to proceed and/or how it goes! 

Thank you,

Quicken Natalie
