[GNC] Transaction won't reconcile

[kvn]

Yes - starting balance matches statement. I have just reconciled most of 
2018 on 7 separate accounts, and consistently experienced the problem.  
The starting balance matches, but the ending balance does not match the 
statement.  If I correct the ending balance in GC and add the missing 
transactions, then the statement reconciles just fine and I can go on to 
the next month.

This has been a problem I have experienced since I started using GC and 
this is the method I use to correct the problem.  I go thru the printed 
statment and copy and past missing transactions (practically all of the 
missing transactions exist in the ledger already) and then finish 
reconciling. However, it would be much nicer if all the transactions 
were imported by the importer at the time of importing :)

I replied by selecting "Reply List".  Is that correct?

Thanks
