Hello everybody.

I have found a similar problem as mentioned above. I have bought a new 
software and entered it on the day I spent the money. Every time I go to the 
bank I get a printout and reconcile my accounts on that day. As far as I 
remember I have reconciled that transaction as well, only I might have added 
it in the reconcilation window a second time, since I did not find it at 
first. After I had reconciled all transactions there was one left, which was 
the later added software buy. 

So I left the reconcilation window and deleted one of those entries. I guess 
I deleted the balanced on and no I have an unbalanced record of a balanced 
transaction in the guts of my account, which I could not get lost or 
reconcile without having an error. Is there a way to clear this, other than 
to uncheck all the transactions and do the whole thing again? Currently I 
have the software buy added to my computer expenses and transfered the money 
to an equity account. Thus I know how much I spent on software, but ... well 
I think its not very accurate :)

Thanks for any help.
