Running Quicken Classic Premier version R63.21 Build 27.1.63.21
On July 17th I got the popup message about changing connection types for Bank of America and Merrill Lynch accounts and was prompted to do that for my Merrill Lynch account when I did one step update. I did not have any problem with that. However, after the one step update, the data in the account was mangled.
Prior to the connection reauthorization, my account holdings had a list of securities with quote/price, number of shares, etc and at the end it had "Cash". The list of securities did not include the cash which was in two accounts: an ML Bank Deposit Program account and a Preferred Deposit account.
After the connection reauthorization, the list of securities includes an entry for each of those two accounts but there still is "Cash" at the end of the list. So basically the cash is counted "twice" making the balance wrong. I put "twice" (in quotes) because the cash is almost, but not quite, the sum of the two cash accounts. It is a little bit greater.
Nothing has changed with my ML account. What has changed is how it is reported by Quicken. I have had both of the two cash accounts for years.
There are two July 17th place holder transactions for the addition of the 2 cash accounts to the securities list. These were "automatically" entered when I did the one step update, Quicken noted the discrepancy of not having those two accounts and I responded by asking it to create placeholder transactions.
What's going on and how do I fix things so the account balance is correct?
Thanks
Jim
