Action changes from my input

I have two investment accounts, built identically. Importing QIF from Quicken has necessitated me to adjust the balance before moving on. Rather than go through 15 years of entries to find the differences, I've chosen to use the brute force method and add the needed dollar amount to MD to reconcile it with Quicken. Account "A" accepts the "miscinc" action and I complete the transaction. Account "B" changes the 'miscinc' to 'xfr' when I tab to next field. Both accounts have 'xfr' as the default action when I begin the entry. Any ideas why? Thanks, Kim

   Both accounts need the relevant security added to the account before any Security txn can be added

   Hi Stuart,, FYI only re our discussion. I went back to delete the Balance Adjustment entry I had made, having added the security, I thought I would do it properly. I deleted the entry and was surprised to see the current balance dollars didn't change. Investigating I found MD DIDN'T delete the entry, as requested, it just added the amount to the first entry.......so now my initial investment has grown by the adjustment amount. Interesting program. Makes me wonder if I delete transactions in any other accounts if MD just adds the amount it to another entry somewhere else in the account. Kim
