Thank you for the prompt response. The third party payment processor deposited the money into my Quickbooks Checking account and I was transferring that money into an existing envelope, when I received the error message. The issue is that the instantaneous transfer from QB Checking to existing envelope failed (error message received), and somehow the money disappeared from my QB Checking account. Such a horrific glitch…
