balance sheet error
My balance sheet on accrual basis is not balanced. On a cash basis it is. However, it is only unbalanced if I display as "total". If I display monthly than every month is in balance. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct?

Try to re-build your Qb file (from File > Utilities > Verify and Rebuild). Rebuild it a couple of times. If it does not help, you will need to find the transaction that went bad, delete and re-record it. I always find the date of the transaction first (by changing the date on the balance sheet and watching which date it turned from unbalanced to balanced - or the other way around). Good luck!

Please mark the post Solved or give me a "thumbs up" if I could help.

Thank you, I will try the re-build. My problem is that I can't find the bad transaction because the out of balance only appears when you use the "total" display. If I display by month, week, or day it is always in balance. Have you ever seen this before???

No, I have not seen it this way - but it does not mean that it cannot happen. Normally I leave the balance sheet on total and just change the date on it to find the corrupted transaction.
