Sorry..., it may have been the wrong term (reconciliation).
This all started with the notion that you apparently can't
reconcile a "cash" account with some versions of Quicken.  What
you say is correct, but this only "clears" that single update
entry, and not all the other entries...., and the result is that
when you close off a year, all those un-cleared entries stay
with you.
In other words, when you reconcile a credit card or bank
account, the last step Quicken does is "clear" all those entries
that are part of the reconciliation.  With a "cash" entry, it
doesn't appear to do that (I'm using Quicken 6.0 for Win95),
unless I've missed something..., which is entirely possible.
What I SHOULD have said was that I CLEAR each cash entry at the
same time I post it.
It used to be a lot easier when we did it all on paper .
