OK, follow-up question. If I assume that the instruction in the FAQ to set the Starting Balance at $0 is incorrect ... if I set it instead to what my actual starting balance was on 12/5/08, then I get a big green checkmark ... and a Difference of $0.
Is my account now reconciled? If so, is there a next step? There's no "OK" button to check... thanks On May 31, 7:49 am, DavidO <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, I've trashed my Preferences (at least three times) to start over. > All my accounts get imported without incident from Bank of America > (California). > > I've gone through the first steps in the How to Reconcile FAQ without > success: > > 1.
