Hi David.

I presume these are vendor bills and were entered as such via A/P?

IIRC, in the bank account right-click the transaction that paid the bill and 
then choose "Assign as payment"

Do the same thing.....edit the bill in the ususal way, then reassign the 
payment.  Worst that happens  (if the bank account txn unreconciles itself) is 
an extra transaction at the top of the next reconcilliation.  Just include it 
and go to the correct ending balance and it should all work out.  Or just re-
do the last reconcile again.  but I don't think it will get that far.

HTH,
