The beginning balance on most of my accounts is different than my paper statements and it won't allow me to correct it. Does anyone else have this problem and if so what did you do to fix it.

    Are you talking about the beginning balance on the overall account ... or on a reconciliation?

    If the reconciled opening balance has changed, a reconciled transaction has been added, modified, or deleted.  To determine the source of the change, I suggest you compare the running balance of the account register in the current Quicken file with the running balance of the account register from a Quicken file backup saved when the account was last reconciled.  One way to accomplish this is to print the registers to text files.
