Nuts, I should have asked you what Quicken version (year) you
are using.
I think your problem may relate to placeholders, which can be
"hidden" by Quicken. In Q2006 and later, you can have Quicken
display all hidden investment transactions by modifying your
Quicken Program Investment Transactions preferences to "Show
hidden transactions".
For starters, I think you need to make sure there are no
placeholder transactions in the account (they have an Action
value of "Entry"); at least for securities which are not held in
the account. Then you need to make sure that no other
transactions were linked to those placeholders; such
transactions would likely have "N/A" in the "Cash Amt" column in
the Transactions List for the account.

If you felt there was no other way to get things in order but to
start over, you could create a new Quicken 401k account, then
use Find/Replace to modify all the old paycheck transactions to
transfer the 401k contributions to the new 401k account. But I
don't think this should be necessary.

It couldn't have been before the download then.
I would think that reverting to a backup would be a reasonable
way to deal with the problem, assuming you can't correct it
manually.
