I am no expert, but I see that you have the namespace as ARCA. What happens if
you change it to NYSEARCA? I've seen quotes fail when this is entered
incorrectly, although it may not change anything.

My suspicion is that Phyllis is not aware that Windows Explorer has put the
local drives into a container that displays as "My Computer." Were she to open

FWIW, the "Present" value is also displayed in the footer of the account
register. As someone else noted, the register also includes by default a thick
blue line to separate past entries from future ones.

Odd that you should bring this up at this very moment. Try looking at the

Just a note about Notepad: it is quite insistent about creating only txt files.
If you save your file as "gtk-3.0.css" *without* setting "Save as type" to "All

I agree that the Dividends account belongs under Income.
As an overview, Richard, I'd point out that if you buy something for 1000, and

To your point regarding the strength of the anchor, I've found that clearing
the fields in the split and tabbing off the end will allow you to delete that

I think you can accomplish this using the Transaction Report and adjusting the

The point for me is that (for the US at least), separating out the fees and
commissions actually masks the true cost of the investment. When I first
started tracking investments, I separated the fees and commissions, and it took
me forever to figure out why my gains calculations never matched th
An alternative is simply to take the latest statement you have and reconcile
everything up to and including the transactions in the statement you are using.
Presumably, if everything is OK, then the closing balance should match. Of
course, any discrepancies force you to follow David C.'s advice.
I see that your original question, "Where does the Starting Balance come from?"
was not answered.
The starting balance is calculated from *all* the transactions in the register
that are marked as reconciled already. Past, present, and future (if you happen
