Wrong Begining Balance Prevents Reconcilliation

Consider a trial balance.  Do one for quicken when you changed.  do one 
for gc.  A trial balance is just a chart of accounts with the balance in 
each account.  You will find the 2 accounts (minimum) that have 
different balances from the quicken balances.  I use a separate 
transaction for opening balances, as opposed to putting the amount in 
the account when it is set up.  Remember when gc is out of balance it 
puts opposing amount in a special account.
