Lost me completely I'm afraid,

I guess let me explain what I do, and see if it helps,

So for an account that I don't import from the bank, I click on reconcile, put in the statement date and the ending balance (starting balance should be correct, since that's the amount as of last time you reconciled)

It brings up a window with funds in on the left, and funds out on the right at the bottom it tells me statement date, starting balance, ending balance, reconciled amount and difference.

I then select the correct funds in, and out (as appeared on the statement) to get my difference to 0, and reconciled amount to equal the ending balance. At that point the "Finish" button becomes available, and I move forward.

Does that help at all?
