Yes, simply change the flag from 'y' to 'c' or 'n'. ('c' - cleared will
be auto-checked for you in the reconciliation window, 'n' - no, will not)
It isn't so much of 'going back to a previous screen' as no such thing
exists, but rather you will be re-reconciling to whatever date (and
balance) you desire.
There is no requirement this be done monthly or on any other periodic
basis. You can reconcile, realize you need to change a reconciled
transaction that changes its flag, and re-reconcile.
You can give up trying to find an error, enter a balancing transaction
and reconcile, then later find the error, fix it or enter a correcting
entry, then remove the balancing transaction or reverse it, and
re-reconcile as if you had it all correct the first time.
Other than the reconciliation function being the only way to change the
flag to 'y' there is no other magic that happens. It is just a tool for
you to compare your books for that account to an outside source.

David, I was unaware I could safely unreconcile statements! Is it a simple
matter of changing the "y" to a "c" and does that take the
reconciliation screen back to a previous reconciliation?
I have a $219 discrepancy on a bank record and of course there is no single
transaction that got me there. I don't mind doing one account.
