 I can't figure out what the h*ll is going on: I discovered when I went to
reconcile my checking acct that *somehow* Q2006 had gotten switched over to
"online". What a disaster! [and they're right: it is a real b*tch going
back to paper reconcile after you've let the online screw up your
register].

So I've been struggling with that and I just got my end-of-June statement
and I discovered that the reconcile was totally hosed -- "online" had
gotten turned back on. How did that happen? [and how do I make it NEVER
happen again]???

Below the "Online Balance" radio button is a check box for "Auto
reconcile after compare to register": do you perchance have that
box checked? Try unchecking that when you have Online Balance
selected ... then switch to Paper Statement.

> [and how do I make it NEVER happen again]???

Can't help you here; just the obvious: don't check the wrong
buttons/boxes again.

I'll check that out, but I have a conjecture on what was happening: when I
struggled last month to [unsuccessfully] undo all the badness that the
online reconcile had done to my register, I wouldn't let it put in the
'correction' entry [because once I pull a bunch of old statements out of
storage, I'm still hoping to get the register *right* again...sigh]. I'm
guessing that because I never really "finished" the back-to-paper
reconciliation, quicken didn't really switch over [and so *KEPT*
further-trashing my register]. So this time I told to "OK" -- go ahead and
put the one-thousand-dollar [!!!!] correction into the register, and
someday soon I'll try to deal with the mess of figuring out how to get it
working again.

Yeah -- I have used quicken for a long time now and never had this problem
before, so I'm wondering just how 'online' got checked. But a word to the
wise: Intuit *means*it* when they say that going from paper->online is a
one-way street... it is proving to be *awful* trying to go back the other
way.
