Playing with different budgets

I have been making different budgets for future situations. I was doing OK until I went back to my original budgets and found all of this month's transactions missing from several of my original budget categories.
Also, the "future" use budgets disappeared from my planning list.
My plan was to develop budgets for reduced income then see where my actual transactions exceeded predicted future categories.
I have spent 5 years learning to manipulate the budgeting tools.

    Hello @capnron

    Thank you for contacting the Quicken Community, though I do apologize that you are experiencing this issue with the Budget functionality. 

    To start with, I suggest that you please try validating and/or super validating your data file. However, I do recommend that you first save a backup file prior to performing these steps.

    Validate
    1. File
    2. Validate and Repair File...
    3. Validate File
    4. Click OK
    5. Close the Data Log
    6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
    7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
    If the issue persists, proceed to Super Validate. If the issue is resolved after performing validation, then please disregard the instructions to Super Validate.

    Super Validate:
    1. File
    2. Hold CTRL + Shift and click Validate and Repair File...
    3. Super Validate File
    4. Click OK
    5. Close the Data Log
    6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
    7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

    Please let me know how it goes!

    Followed outlined steps and even super validation did not restore current month transactions. Next?

    Here are the affected categories. The May file has all the right stuff, the June file is missing historical and current data.

    I think I have found the answer to my "perceived" problem.
    Jasmine, thanks for jumping in. I am sure that it did not hurt anything by validating the files.
