Problem Reconciling with Lost Check

[Jason Ahrens]

If you want to keep it in the same account so it shows up as something 
that *could* happen, I'd set the date on the transaction about 6 months 
in the future (the max length of time a cheque is good for, I think). It 
will show up as a future transaction, and your balance will show this, 
but it won't affect any reconciliation. If it gets deposited, then you 
can set the date to the deposit date. If it expires, you can delete it.

A thought.
