[moneytalks] Re: question about beginning balance

Mickey,
When you put in the beginning balance, use a date that is one day earlier =
than the date of the first transaction that you imported. Because Money =
Talks organizes by date, it will then put your beginning balance before =
your first transaction and the correct figure will show at the end of the =
line. Also make sure that you clear the beginning balance; otherwise, your =
cleared balance will not include the beginning balance and numbers will be =
very wrong.

From your e-mail, it sounds like you did not have the beginning balance =
when you imported the qif file but that you got the beginning balance =
afterward. The above applies if this is the case.
if you used your current balance and not the beginning balance, then you =
would need=20

Hello:

I created a new account, but didn't have the beginning balance.  I =
importted=20
the data and then used ALT+ENTER to edit the bank account properties.  I =
put=20
the beginning balance in and hit  the OK button.

The problem is that the ballance didn't change the amounts listed on =
the=20
right.

Do I need to do something to get the beginning ballance to be used?

Thanks!
