Only by visual inspection - if you completed the reconcile of last month's statement, then the reconciled balance in GC should match the end balance of that statement which should match the opening balance of the current statement which should match what GC suggests as the starting balance. If the opening balances don't match but the previous reconciled balances did then something slightly odd has happened. Maybe you inadvertently modified some reconciled txns and they lost their "reconcied" status. maybe you accidently started using a backup file at some point (look for lots of numbers in the filename) > Additionally I noticed that a good handful of transactions that were > reconciled in last months task now showed up as unreconciled.

Also look at the unreconciled transactions from previous months - if they all check off OK and you hit the new statement end balance then you are good to go. If you really want to roll back the previous reconciles, then you can only do that manually by clicking on each of the "Y" in the reconciled transactions status. As always, take a back-up copey of the file before you start digging and maybe get in a worse mess!
