I don't have an answer for you but I once was in the same situation as
you're describing. I deleted a reconciled transaction because I thought
I could adjust some other problem I had. After that I spend hours trying
to match my bank statements. I even tried to edit the XML data manually.
I finally ended up loading the datafile from the backup that was created
before I decided to delete the transaction.
I have never had another problem reconciling since and I learned to stop
and think twice when the warning message pops up.

Subject: Reconciling account - Starting Imbalance
Okay, last night, I went to reconcile my chequeing account against my
statement, and although all the transactions were there, the "Opening
Balance" on the account was off by $450 (high, IIRC), so I couldn't
finish it.
This used to happen when I used Quicken, and the only solution was to
'un-clear' dozens of transactions, and go back to a statement where it
does balance, sometimes months prior, then work forward, statement by
statement. Normally, there was a transaction that had been reconciled
and subsequently changed or deleted (careless clean-up, I won't pretend
it wasn't me) I suspect that this is the cause again.
Is there some way of using the transaction logs to spot the trouble,
instead of repeating the un-reconcile, reconcile procedure, if it is
even possible?
Can anyone suggest how to troubleshoot and correct?
;-D
