If you go through the process, entering the final balance where indicated and checking off all the transactions that should be, does the account reconcile? If so, then you don't need to do anything else.
If not, then you need to figure out which transactions have been erroneously marked as reconciled. That can be a challenge. Worst case is to clear reconciled transactions back to a known accurate date, and re do the statements in order. Good luck.

For one account, the last time I reconciled it was at the end of February...2020. I've gone through my statements, entered my data, and what GnuCash shows in the register as my balance on 8/31/2020 is correct. And, similarly, what it shows at the end of Feb 2020 is also correct. But if open of the reconcile dialog, the starting balance is not what is shown in the register. This account happens to be my PayPal account, and normally this is a zero balance account in any period. That was what the balance shows in the register as of 2/29/2000. But the starting balance in GnuCash shows as $858. I've already tried check and repair on the account and even on all accounts, restarting GnuCash then opening up the reconcile dialog again, but that doesn't change anything. Any suggestions on how to fix this? roland -- Roland Roberts, PhD Brooklyn, NY USA https://astrofoto.org _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
