I did the reconciliation, but it was not out by £7 because I had reconciled
the bank account which was correct. The account which had the problem was
the expenses account, and I'm not reconciling that.

I've no idea how that unbalanced transaction occurred, although I did *think
*of a possibility. I *think *when entering the currency conversion one ends
up entering an exchange rate twice. If wonder if one puts them differently
then a different amount go could into two accounts, and imbalance not be
noticed by GnuCash. But I'm not sure of this I might make a set of test
accounts later and see for myself.
