Click this link and choose 'Save As...'. Once the download is complete simply open it up from within YNAB Pro.

Do you need the Program YNAB in order to get the file to open?
When I rht clk it asks to save as a target and it only has the hml ext. I can't change it.
I tried teh zipped file and when I open it, it is in a notepad.

Yes you do. Download the trial version and open it in that.

Hi,

I am trying to use this program again for the umpteenth time. I hope to eventually get it right.

If the Dick & Jane's First Budget was a checking account, what would be the proper way to handle checks that were written before the account was set up and cleared after the account starts? One option would be to reduce the starting balance by the checks that cleared so there would be no record of them. The other option would be to enter them in the register and have a record for a month that is generally not recorded. Thank you for your time.

I would enter the starting balance (what is cleared and matches the bank) as one transaction as Income: Avail This Month. I would also mark this as Cleared so that my cleared balance matches the bank.

Then you enter any other checks that were written as well, and leave them Uncleared. If you want them to go to specific categories, you can do that. However, Since it is Pre-YNAB I would recommend just entering them as outflow transactions with Income: Avail This Month as the category.
