<p>Thank you for the screenshot.</p>
<p>Try this...</p>
<p>Open Moneydance to the Costco Visa account.<br>
From the Moneydance menu bar, go to Account > Edit Account.<br>
In the resulting form, check to make sure that the 'Inactive' checkbox it NOT ticked.</p>

1/ Are you sure that in Preferences, the sidebar balance is set to Balance (and not Cleared Balance)?<br>
2/ In the register, like your screenshot... Click the Balance: $ -2.719.47 which is underlined... This shows you the balances per type... wondering which are zero?<br>
3/ What is your computer date set to?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489321562020-12-27T19:38:59Z2020-12-27T19:39:00Zbalance in side bar is incorrect<div><p>Thank you Stuart. The inactive flag was set. It is now corrected!</p>

<p>Thank you so much. Such an elementary error on my part. Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>When the inactive flag is set the account should "show" a zero balance outside of the account and the balance would not be included in any standard account totals. Transactions in the account will still be included in reports like the Income and Expense reports.</p>
<p>However if you open the account register the account does not have to have a zero total. I use this feature to manage an account for someone else.</p>
<p>So the inactive tag really means do not include the balance in things like net worth, and do not display a balance in any summary pages. It also stops it appearing in some selection dialogs.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489321562020-12-27T20:47:02Z2020-12-27T20:47:02Zbalance in side bar is incorrect<div><p>Interesting.
