<p>Without an actual screenshot of the register I'll have to make a guess at this...</p>
<p>Does the 'Unconfirmed' transaction pane appear at the bottom of the register?<br>
Does it state the number of unconfirmed transactions?</p>
<p>If so, drag the pane upward to reveal the unconfirmed transactions.<br>
Or...<br>
Click the split window icon next to the 'New Transaction' button in the upper, right-hand corner of the register. Doing so, will integrate the unconfirmed transactions into the register.</p>
<p>The 'screwed up' balance may be the result of the need to enter or edit that account's 'Initial Balance' or 'Initial Debt' (depending on the type of account).</p>
<p>While viewing the account in question, from the Moneydance menu bar, go to Account > Edit Account.<br>
Here you can enter or edit the 'Initial Balance' or 'Initial Debt' value.</p>

<p>Just to add to Kevin's comments. With a combination of manual and downloaded transaction you should run through the confirmation process, which includes the ability to merge downloaded and manual transactions where necessary.</p>

<p>The general entry point for the knowledge base which has many articles on the use of Moneydance is :</p>

<p>While there are similarities between Quicken and Moneydance in many places it will never be the same. I was effectively a Quicken user and it did not take to long to adapt to the differences and to often use them to my advantage.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/481030012020-02-21T01:58:13Z2020-02-21T01:58:13ZUsing as Quicken alternative<div><p>dwg is correct, you need to merge the downloads with the manually entered data. I believe that you had to do this with Q as well. (But I last used Q in 2011 so it might be different now).</p>
<p>If you don't merge you get duplicate entries and everything is doubled.</p></div>sth
