[GNC] How To Get The "R" Column Back

[Tom Route36]

Jerry,

Another suggestion.  I'm guessing you probably have the default option 
set to save Window Geometry when closed.  You can try doing this.  Turn 
that option off temporarily.  To do that, select Edit -> Preferences -> 
Windows.  Then for Window Geometry (assuming it's currently checked) 
uncheck the "Save window size and position" option.  Then go close the 
register with the missing Reconcile column.  And then reopen it.  It's 
possible that doing that may bring your Reconcile column back.

If that restores the Reconcile column, then you can always go and 
re-enable the Window Geometry option if you want it.

Tom
