This is not correct. You cannot change the beginning date. That date is the "closing" date from your last reconcile. GnuCash tries to figure out the correct closing date based on the last two reconciles. The EXACT date only affects GnuCash's proposed ending balance, and will affect the next suggested closing date. It has very little other meaning. So yes, you should correct the ending date, and verify the starting date. But if the starting date is wrong there's nothing you can do about it. > In any case, don't change the balance manually, unless you > have a good reason to. This is ABSOLUTELY wrong. You should ABSOLUTELY change the ending balance to match the correct balance from your statement! You may have entries in your books that didn't clear (e.g. a check that hasn't been deposited yet) that will affect your balance but wont be on the statement. So sorry, you should absolutely change the ending balance in the reconcile dialog to be the correct balance from your statement. Then when you check off the items you'll ensure your books and the bank books are in sync. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
