Asset Allocation Graph John Gregory 06-10-2006

Using Q2005HB. Have several bank accounts grouped under "Cash Flow Center".
These are actually money market type accounts (GMAC Demand Notes) that
rarely get involved in transfer of funds. They should be showing up as
"Cash" in the Asset Allocation graph that Quicken draws in order to present
a more accurate picture of my diversification. This isn't possible as long
as they remain categorized or grouped under the "Cash Flow Center". Is there
a way I can get them under the "Investing Center" and still retain the check
writing ability of the accounts. I just moving into online banking and
several of these accounts did get set up for future electronic transfers so
I don't want to loose that ability.

Newer versions of Quicken - including Q2005 - permit you to
write checks from Investment accounts. Check the bottom of the
drop down transaction list in the Enter Transactions dialog;
there is a set of transactions called "Cash Transactions".

I believe there is a bug in either Q2005 or Q2006 (or both) that
can screw up a couple of reports when investment account cash
transactions contain split categories (and those transactions
are included in the reports).

Hi John. Thanks. I couldn't find the location you gave me but I did find (in
Q20005HB) that the "Account List" has provision for changing groups. I
merely clicked the "Change Group" button, marked the ones I wanted to
change, processed the selections, rechecked the graph on asset
allocations.... and everything looked like it transferred perfectly. Thanks
for your help.

I found it. The accounts I moved into the "Investing Center" don't have that
type of register but they do show up under the "Investing Accounts" section
of the Accounts List and their registers do have a check writing tab so I
guess I'm good to go.
