" I can see that there's now way to correct the mistake and reopen it"
Please clarify, does this mean : There's NO way to correct… ? OR There's now A way to correct…. ?
Hello @DRMick,
The post you're asking about is a couple years old. To answer your question, in Quicken for Windows, the only way to re-open a closed account is to restore a backup from before the account was closed.
If restoring a backup isn't a viable option, then you could also create a new account and copy/paste the transactions from the closed account to the new one (if you want to transfer the history over to that new account).
I also recommend that you take a look at this Idea post and add your vote if you'd like to see the functionality added to Quicken for Windows in the future:
I hope this helps!
I only close an account, in Q, AFTER I've closed it in real life. If I open a new account at that FI … I open a new acct in Q also.
There is one way around the issue. Create a new account and copy all of the transactions from the "closed" account to the newly created account.
