Thanks, Michael, I have been trying that using end March of this year as
the last 'OK' date but doing it up to latest balance seems to catch
other errors, so I was wondering if I could 'stage' the process.
Looks like D's reply indicates I could do it by varying the closing
balance to coincide with one I am happy with. Maybe a slight problem if
the closing balance is duplicated elsewhere? Maybe unlikely.
In fact by a combination of the two replies I can go back to the last
'good' situation and use the closing balance there as a starting point?
I'll give the ending balance a try.

Hi,
My reconcile is a bit erratic. So, I thought of trying to find the error by
reconciling for different periods. If I put in the date for the last statement
for the period I want to check, can I just put in an amount as the ending
balance that coincides with the starting period and that way check on a period
by period basis?
I know it sounds complicated but I cannot think of a better way of doing it.
Thanks
Afternoon, Finbar.
As a user of GC since 2010 for my personal accounts, I would advise that you
step back from this precipice before you jump over it!
I urge you go back far enough in your accounts to get to a bank statement that
is in exact agreement with your accounts, then work your way systematically
forward from that date, correcting any erroneous entries in your accounts as
you go.
Ideally, you should mark everything beyond the reconciliation date as
“unreconciled” and go forward from there - it’s very easy to click on a
duplicate transaction and mark it as reconciled, or to miss digit
transpositions and other typing errors.
Best of luck!
Michael
