"bank balance" vs "local balance"

In Money 2004, how do I get the account list to show the correct bank
balance, rather than some silly "local balance", whatever that is?

Thanks

Mr S,

The "local balance" is the balance of transactions you have entered
(manually or electronically) into your account register. If you want
it to match your corresponding bank account balance, you have to make
sure you've included in the "local" register all the transactions that
your bank has posted. This is no different than one balancing a paper
checkbook.

Of course, if your "local balance" doesn't match your bank balance even
though you have balanced the account register with your bank statement
this could indicate a file corruption (usually repaired easily). Post
back with more detail if this is what you were implying. Thanks.

Regards,
JB

Where does your Money 2004 display the term "local balance"? It
might be a term used in some other version than the US versions.

Do you see "Today's Balance" and "Ending Balance"? Are those numbers
correct?
