[GNC] Reconciliation Question

[David Carlson]

Mark,

I suggest trying your proposed fix on a test copy of your datafile.  You
may find that you also need to re-reconcile other months or "indulge" in
some creative temporary offsetting transactions to get August or September
reconciliations to end with the correct ending balance.  I have not tried
that sort of thing in a couple of years, so my experience is very stale.

Starting balances do not need to match your statements, as there is no way
to view which month any particular transaction was actually reconciled to.
