Write your reply.

assistant: Well, David, I wasn't reading this echo "a while back" so I don't know
what the earlier discussion covered.  You also haven't given any
specifics as to your problem, so the best I can offer is a few general
tips about reconciling your checkbook.
If Quicken is telling you your register balance doesn't match what is on
the bank statement, there are generally two possible reasons:
1.  There are transactions (checks, deposits, service charges, etc.) on
the bank statement that you haven't entered into your register yet.
2.  You incorrectly entered the amount of one or more transactions into
your register (or, much less likely but still possible, the bank
recorded the amount of some transaction incorrectly in *its* system).
Correcting either of these mistakes basically requires a line-by-line
double check of your bank statement.  Check each line on the statement,
find the corresponding entry in your Quicken register, and check it off
on the statement.  If there is a discrepancy, edit your register.
If these steps don't fix the problem, you'll need to provide additional
detail to get any useful help.
Good luck.

assistant: Hi Carol,
First congratulations on starting your own business. Hope it's a
success. Since this is a Quicken forum, I won't comment on wether or not
Quicken is good for business bookkeeping. You should probably add
Quick books. That may correct some of it's short falls.
You would create a category called Owners Draw/Contribution. When you
deposit money into the checking account for your business, you would
record it to that category. When you pay yourself, you would also record
it to that category.
ccount
p
Yes, you should have a separate account file for your business. It
will make things easier at tax time with printing out reports. Which is
where some of the short falls will appear.

     This msg is to anyone that may be able to help.  I've had Quicken
for Windows, version 4 for just a short time and maybe the answer is
right in front of my nose.
     My wife and I have one checking account but we each have our own
check registers and checks.  I call these sub-accounts and we make our
own deposits/withdrawals to each sub-account.  The system works quite
well and avoids lots of troubles.
     Now, I'd like to keep doing this but I see no way I can with
Quicken.  That is,  I'd like to maintain two sub-accounts in Quicken and
have them tied to the main checking account also in Quicken.
     Has anyone out there done this?  If so, maybe you would be so kind
as to giving me a few clews about the process.
     Thanks much.
