[GNC] Starting a new file

[Seth Burgess]

I have been using GnuCash for about 10 years.  I am currently using 
Build ID: 4.6+(2021-06-26).  I have decided to start fresh with a new 
file and discontinue an old one with the same bank accounts starting on 
January 1, 2022.  I have one bank account that does not end the month on 
December 31st and one that does. For the account that does not end the 
month on December 31st, I have divided the statement that starts 
December 21st and ends January 20th so that the transactions are split 
between the old account file and the new one.  The transactions are 
correctly entered in each file, but the reconciliation of the statement 
does not balance using the statement ending balace, because some of the 
transactions are in the old file and some in the new file.  This means 
the reconciliations in each file cannot be finalized.  This will cause a 
problem going forward, particularly with the new file.  I don't know how 
to handle this.

thanks in advance for ideas.
