Using the Reconcile feature will let you create statement date ranges
for your reconciled transactions. You can add as many of these as
you'd like and you'll have a history of all your reconciliations. This
is also nice because if a reconciled transaction gets deleted or
changed the statement range that held that transaction will be marked
as "Open" again so you'll know something is wrong.

So I played a little with it, and here are some thoughts and questions.







So my suggestions would be:

- give access to the previous statements



So my questions are:
- am I doing something wrong, or did I hit a bug?


Thanks,

I did a "Reconcile" a long time ago, when I started using MoneyWell in April, and I remember doing it from April 1st to April 24th or 25th. When I tried reconciling this week-end, the initial period proposed was from April 25th to April 25th. I changed the last date to correspond to the current date, and started reconciling. This is where I hit the two main problems: - the starting balance was 0, and not the ending balance of the previous statement - I could not access the previous statement (the dropped down menu with all statements only had the current entry) So to guess the starting balance, what I did was display the first transaction (on April 25th, there wasn't any previous transaction displayed), look at the reconciled total at the bottom, add the transaction amount to that total and I had the ending balance. But it's quite tricky to get at. - populate the starting balance with the ending balance from the previous statement (for people who don't use paper statements and thus don't have the previous ending balance written anywhere) (I also tried to start over, by doing a big reconcile starting from when April 1st, but even when I change the starting date to April 1st, I only see transactions starting from April 25th.) - how could I "start over" the reconciling process (so that I can see all my transactions in Reconcile view and do a big Reconcile from the beginning to now)?
