I can't transfer monies between savings accounts within Quicken

Vince Drottar

I added new savings accounts in addition to my existing accounts. I can't transfer monies from my existing accounts to my new accounts. Nor can I transfer monies between my new accounts?

I am using an iMac with Ventura 13.6 os.

I changed banks and added new savings accounts with the new bank in the transaction column. I want to transfer the monies from the old bank account (only in Quicken-not between banks) to the new corresponding savings accounts of the new bank. So when I transfer from old to new, the old accounts will show zero balance (hence closing the account).

I can transfer monies between one old account to another with no problem (always have), but not old to new. i.e. if I transfer $200 from one savings account and put it in another account, the account would be reduced by $200 and the account I sent it to would show adding $200. I can't even transfer from one new account to another new account?

Transferring money to the new accounts, or between the new accounts, should work just the same as it always has.

As RickO asked, please describe what happens when you try & fail to do this, with screen shots if you can.

I want to transfer $5,164 from Account #28 to 8872 All Purpose Account. When I do that Account #28 goes to zero, but 8872 All Purpose Account doesn't show the corresponding entry?

Jon

Does the transfer appear in the register for account 8872? Is it only in the sidebar that the account balance for 8872 is incorrect, or is the balance incorrect in the register as well?

What is the category on the transaction? Can you post a screen shot of the whole transaction in account #28? Do you have the Transfer column turned on? Sounds like it's going to another category and not the Account #28.

Vince Drottar

It does't change in the register either

Vince Drottar

volvogirl. what do you mean when you say "do you have the transfer column turned on"?

Vince Drottar

Volvogirl was right. I didn't have the transfer box checked in the column icon. Problem solved. Thanks everyone!
