Starting a New File

Andy_G

I want to create a new file. The account in this file is connected to PNC Bank Virtual Wallet (whatever that is). I want keep tab on expenses starting Nov1. When I connected to PNC, it populated the data in the file going back many months. How do I get rid of entries before nov1 and how do I prevent it from repopulating previous moths data next time I connect to PNC. Thanks.

You may delete the transactions you do not want to keep.  Quicken should not import the previously imported transactions.

With the transactions sorted by date, select the earliest transaction, press the Shift key and select the last transaction before Nov 1, and press Ctrl + D.

I successfully deleted entries before Nov1 as per your guidance. But now, I am running into a problem. I have attchached a screen shot. The example is when quicken updates transactions from PNC and then I fill out some fields and go to save icon to the right of the row, a dialog box comes up. Whether I select yes or no, a duplicate transaction is created with the old downloaded transaction. I am sure I am doing something wrong, just don't know what it is.

The notification indicates you are attempting to move the transaction to a different account.  If you select Yes, Quicken should move the transaction.  If you select No, Quicken should not move the transaction.  This notification itself may be enabled or disabled: select Edit > Preferences...




Unless you intended to move the transaction to a different account, I suggest you edit try editing the transaction within the account register.

Don't delete the first transaction (Opening Balance), you will need to change it to make the ending balance correct after deleting the unwanted transactions.

Thanks for the solutions. It looks like I will always be posting in the section "Getting Started"

Sorry for the delay. But thanks. That worked.
