As in the title: I sold shares in a mutual fund, and they mailed me a physical check. In Quicken for Windows, it was originally recorded as "Shares Removed" with a $0.00 balance. I changed it to "Sold" and the money appeared in my MF account, BUT I actually received a check so the money isn't in the account. There doesn't seem to be a pick-click in Quicken for "Sold and a check was issued" and when I then tried to add a transaction for the check to be written, I ended up with Q telling me (1) I have a check to print and (2) it totally messed up all the accounting in the transaction list. I have owned shares for more than 20 years, but suddenly all of the shares showed up with today's date! Eeek! Lucky for me I had a backup.
This is such a straightforward, normal type of transaction that I can't believe it's impossible to handle in Quicken. So can someone provide me with the steps I need to follow? Thanks in advance
