getting the reconciliation dates out of gnucash

[dcottingham00 at comcast.net]

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. And I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't find it myself. 

John's suggestion of peeking in the file turns out to work pretty well -- it's pretty easy to poke around in there and find stuff. 

Thanks, 
Dave Cottingham

I have set my Chart of Accounts to include the Last Reconcile Date column, which gives this information. Perhaps that will work for you as well?

If not you can get a pretty good approximation by looking for the last “R” (for reconciled) in the “R” column of the account’s register (the other possiblities being “C” for cleared and “N” for no). It won’t be the date that you did the reconcile but its date will be the date up through which the account is reconciled.
