nope moneywell did not find the dups.. there were 3 and it found 1, i had to manually delete them...so that i could reconcile. dupcheck worked fine on the other two accounts...
re - adding a statement - other than doing a download import from boa? that's all i did - it worked for savings but not for checking... perhaps i am missing a step? i have not seen any screen for 'adding a statement' nor any way to get one from boa (other than the pdf 'paper' which is avail at month end only (which is on the 11th... odd that)... it Did import the latest balance.. so i figured i was on the right track.. i watched both the old video - and the new video.. but they both seemed geared to getting a paper statement (which i haven't had in about 5 years).. and doing it a month-end - but i reconcile at least weekly - if not more... i thought i had gotten the basic concept down though :) thanks for pointing out the 'last import' bucket - i had seen that but hadn't realized what it meant - that's helpful :) (i was asking myself on the last import but 'heck' whats new ?? hehe) i guess quicken always pulled in the 'last reconciled' balance to start off with ...so that made it easier in my opinion.. but it looks like that moneywell did this for savings (but not checking) so it might be that moneywell is designed to do the same. ;) mary lou On Jan 25, 11:54 pm, Kevin Hoctor <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jan 25, 2009, at 1:50 PM, ciara belle wrote: > > > hmm - ok - the range was at default - since i didn't even realize that > > was there - :) -- so 30 days (plenty since i last reconciled about a > > week ago).. > > there are not 2 id's in this case - since one transaction is manually > > entered -- the other is imported. - and since both are withdrawals > > they are they same type..
