Hi, thanks sofar, I have tried literally everything along those lines, and nothing is doing it, and at this point it is all about ending with everything right, since I need to do 2021 urgently.
My good luck is that this is about a business that was more or less dormant for a while, so, I can do the whole year in a long evening, but now I need to get ready for a better 2022, and I need to get 2020 and 2021 100% right, plus be sure my accounting system will hold up for a busier 2022. For now, this is not wanting to happen as I have ended up in a catch-22. I switched to 4.9, assuming that whatever caused my problem in v 3.8 might have been fixed. Evidently other users had had the same problem of reconciliations coming unglued. As I said before, my main problem was not having exited the program after each reconciliation, for if I had, I would have had a monthly backup. I did the whole year in one session. Ideally this time, I would redo it and and exit after every month was reconciled to have backups throughout. However, now I end up with another problem to which I have yet to receive a satisfactory solution. When setting up the opening balances, the retained earnings is not allowing editing, so it ends up that the Opening Balance account now holds the total of the actual opening balances plus an amount that should be retained earnings. In 3.8 I was able to set this up properly with one opening transaction, but in 4.9 I have not found the way. I posted about it on the list, but so far no usable suggestions. Only another user having the same problem. I used gnucash years ago without a problem for some small project, but at this point , I feel like I am in a total Catch-22. I don't trust 3.8 anymore and so far 4.9 is letting me down.
