401K Account Incorrectly Displays SoldX

Normal Operation:
Coming out of my paycheck, twice monthly, is my 401K investment. I enter my
entire gross amount going into my checking account automatically that
contains split transactions. This split contains each category that is
taken out of my check. Example split transaction is the amount that goes to
my 401K account. The spilt amount accumulates in the 401K account with the
category "XIn" and is considered as Cash Amount. Each quarter, I balance
the 401K account by creating a "Bought" that coincides with each "XIn".
This action takes the cash amount (in the 401K) and creates the purchase of
shares. Each month or quarter, I should have a zero cash amount because
that amount went towards buying shares. This is the normal way of spending
the cash value that accumulates in the 401K account.

Error:
For some reason, the amount coming out on 11/15/08 created a "SoldX" in my
401K account. It should normally be "XIn" as it has been for the past 12
years. I can't change the SoldX. I've tried changing it in the 401K
account and I get a message that says you have to go to the Transfer account
(this is the checking account that shows the split transactions... my
paycheck). When I view the split transactions, there is NOTHING different
from any of the previous month (12 years worth) and there is nothing
different as compared to the transaction that occurred on 11/26/08.

This is a wired glitch that I can't seem to resolve.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Problem resolved:
I feel like an idiot. For some reason, in the checking account, the
deposited amount went into the Withdraw account. I've stared at this so
long that I could not see that the deposit went into the wrong column.
Thanks anyway, hope I did not waste anyone's time.
