Re: How to "top off" a budget category the next month?
@WordTenor I had the same issue as @Gold Sidewinder this morning. The "balance to zero" button followed by "underfunded" is an easy enough solution for now. Thanks for sharing!

What happened to the check number column...
... in checking accounts register? It was there. Check numbers were populated. Now it's gone and my record of what check number I used is gone with it. 🤔

Re: Deleting an Investment Account
You might also consider a fresh start and delete the account from your new budget. That way your budget won't become all wonky if you were to delete all the transactions from your old budget.

Re: Budget categories missing from transaction register
Consider spending some time doing the live classes. They are only about 20 minutes and it really helps when you are just getting started. Alternatively, you can find recordings of them on YouTube.

Re: Budget categories missing from transaction register
It sounds to me like you need to update the Payee to be the CC which is in your account list. Once you do, the category drop down menu will be greyed out. It's just a transfer of funds.
