For each account in Quicken, you can choose to:
- Keep the account separate: This excludes the account from Quicken reports and features only. The account remains in your transaction entry lists and in the Account Bar. In the Account Bar, it is placed within the Separate heading for quick access. If you've also selected the option Hide the account in the Account Bar and Account List for the account, click More Accounts to access it.
