: : Mark,
: : I am trying to import 3 years worth of stock transactions. I have set up a default cash account under preferences. I then do an import of transaction data. Everything works great, except the cash account does not reflect any of the transactions. If I manually enter each transaction, the correct redemption or purchase is made to cash. What's going on. Do I need to do each transaction manually? That may take a while and be prone to error.
: : Please help.
: : Mark Lee : I am responding to my own post...
: I read through the archives and learned that Fund Manager does not do what I want it to. It is a good thing since it would probably not do what I wanted it to if it was automated. There are too many assumptions to be made to design this feature and make it practical. : My solution was simple... collect all my cash account transactions and make one file (cash_b.dat, cash_l.dat, etc) for each account in a spreadsheet. I already had this data in the computer, and it was simple to export a csv file. I then did a file/import/transactions/generic to import the data just like my stock transactions. I did this with "" selected for my default cash account. After loading in these historical transactions, I then my selected the cash account that I use most often as my default cash account. From now on, each stock transaction I enter manually will automatically be reflected in my cash account. Nice feature.
: -MarkHi Mark,
Glad you figured it out. Thanks for the re-post.
Thanks,
Mark
