No, no, no, no.
Do *NOT* use the balance button unless the ‘Difference’ is something OTHER THAN
$0.00 after checking off all transactions that match the statement. That button
is ONLY to be used as a ‘shortcut’ to create a transaction that balances you
when you don’t balance. You could just as well create that transaction
manually, and likely shouldn’t do either one. You should figure out WHY you
don’t balance and FIX that.
If you entered the correct opening balance, correct ending balance, and checked
off all and ONLY those transactions that matched the statement (since the last
reconciliation) then you should balance.
If not, then either you or the bank has an error and that error needs to be
found. The `Balance` button is for when you know the error is yours and you
give up trying to find and correct it.

Thank you Adrian. I FINALLY am getting it.
Part of the problem is "balance" to me means something
else to GnuCash. I am looking for agreement of my
statements open and closing balance. Not what is missing.
I wonder if Bozo is mad at me for letting everyone know
what he paid for his nose? Hmmm.
