Budget category display

Question

I created a new budget category in my category list which I want to be included in a checking account budget.  I added it to the budget under the planning tab (Manage budget categories).  When I open the budget, the category displays for about 1 second and then is removed from the list.  How can I fix this issue?

Hello @davecreasy,

Thank you for coming to the Community with your questions and concerns, though I apologize you are having an issue adding a category to your budget.

Please go to File>Validate and Repair File>Validate File>Ok. Once the validation has been completed, a datalog will open and you can close it. Then please close Quicken altogether and reopen it. Now see if your category is displayed in the budget, and if it is not, add it and see if it sticks this time.

Do let us know how this goes! Thank you!
