Hi,

If you ignore the opening balance in the reconcile dialogue box and carry on 
aiming for the ending balance on your statement, does it either:

a. all work out by magic?

b. give you a clue about any missing transactions (or ones that have become 
unreconciled)?

you can, of course quit the reconcile if nothing works out.

HTH,
