[GNC] Reconciling, Starting Balance Problem, Problem Reconciling Transactions

[Tom Balazs]

I'm trying to reconcile a credit card statement from a few months back and
it still doesn't reconcile, even though I've gone over all the transactions
multiple times.

But when I click Actions / Reconcile the "Reconcile Transactions" window
opens.
I see (maybe) the source of the problem in the "Starting Balance". I think
the "starting balance" should simply be taken from the balance at the last
properly reconciled transaction. But in my case the "starting balance" is
not the balance at the last properly reconciled transaction. Why is this?
Could it happen because in the past I marked some transactions as
Reconciled, but they are not now (which shouldn't happen, I know).

I'm not on the GnuCash user forum because I'm good at this finance stuff.

Additional notes:
So basically, sorting this out in my head
The reconcile window takes
- "Starting Balance" (taken from the latest properly reconciled
transaction, should be the ending balance of the previous period, e.g.
October 10)
- Statement Date (the ending date of this period, e.g. November 10)
- Transactions which occurred between the two (e.g. Oct 11 - Nov 10)
