Make a copy of your data file and work in that.

One way would be to compare statements from BoA to Quicken status. Start 
from a "middle date" available from BoA and make sure your Q file is 
sorted by date. If OK work towards current date, if not work backwards.

Note that there is a "shares Transfer between accounts" transaction but 
that just duplicates the problem in the new account and would only be 
helpful if you have more than one asset in the Q account.
