I have a trust account. From time to time I receive deposits which partially are my income and partially belong to my clients. I use a split transaction that divides each transaction deposit into categories for my attorney fees and for clients' shares (which I call paper transactions). That way when a report is generated it will show my correct fees total and not include money I paid out to the clients.
Somehow, a Quicken update, possibly the one just downloaded today before downloading the new transactions did the damage because I never noticed it before today. That is R36.45.
All split transactions between January 2017 and the current date were "flattened" meaning they show the entire amount as just being paid for attorney fees. (I wish). I restored numerous weekly backups and discovered the split transaction data was intact as late as August 15, 2021, but the saved data file from later dates lost the split transaction. So instead maybe some update around August 15th caused it.
There is no way I can quickly rebuild all my accounts from that far back to the current date, so instead I guess I have to see if somehow the current (today) data can be corrected to restore the missing allocations OR if not, I have to manually enter them.
Using an idea suggested in another threat, I was able to create a report showing the split transactions by copying the missing split transactions from the old file, pasting it into a temporary account, then running a banking transaction report showing all transactions with split details. There are about 33 split transactions in that time frame that are flattened.
