Mary Lou,

If the amounts are the same for two transactions and one of them is  
coming from an import, which means that it will appear in the Last  
Import smart bucket, then the only thing left for you to do is to make  
sure the day range on the Duplicates view is large enough to cover the  
spread of days different between the two transactions.

The only other reasons that these two wouldm't match is if they were  
different types (check versus withdrawal, etc.) or if they were both  
imported from different file types and have different hidden external  
IDs. You can see the external ID of a transaction by hovering your  
cursor over the Transaction Detail title bar and looking at the  
tooltip that appears. A manual merge is coming in 1.5 to handle the  
cases where MoneyWell won't see two transactions as matching.

For the other issue with an end of day balance, you simply need to  
look at the running balance amount next to the last transaction for  
that day if that's all your bank gives you. This should be less  
trouble than trying to match up running balances when the sequence of  
transactions is different on your bank statement and in your software  
register.

Peace,
