CT>  You sound like an accountant!

     No, I'm not an accountant, but (before Quicken)
once I cleared (balanced) my checkbook, I did not go
back and change a transaction.  This unbalances it.
When I balance my statement, I write a Greek Beta (for
Balanced By Bill) on it and, when I did it by hand, on
the last check stub.  I do not want those balanced
figures changing.
     Now I grant that Q does notify you if you are
changing a cleared transaction.  That's not usually a
big problem.  My more common mistake is somehow to make
an error in the date.  Maybe hit the wrong key(s) and
make it a year ago.  When I finish the entry, it
disappears!  It went and stuck itself in place by date.
Then I have to hunt for it and make the correction.
Not helped by the fact that I don't know what error
made it vanish.  'Course, if I'd'a learned to type...!
