New loan account & creating a deposit for it

I've been using Quicken for more than 10 years but have now come up against an unknown. I took out a consolidation loan and created an off-line account for it. Problem is, the amount was deposited to my checking account. How do I reconcile this? I can't just transfer the loan amount to my checking account since that creates a double amount.

    You should change the Opening Balance transaction in the loan account to be a transfer to your checking account.  Note if that had been done first you would then match the downloaded transaction in the checking account to that transfer.

    Your answer was perfect. I changed the opening balance category to (checking). Thank you.
