Just keep in mind that you cannot get it back to 'y' (reconciled) from the
register.  Clicking on the column will only get you to 'c' (cleared). 
HOWEVER, the next time you reconcile the account you can ignore the
starting balance, set the correct ending balance, and just re-reconcile
the transaction.

Or you can re-reconcile to the last statement and just re-reconcile this
transaction immediately.
