well the reconciled status must have been imported from q back when i
did the full import...cause everything had green checks... and i have
e-statements back to may 2003... but its the time before that i cannot
get to reconcile (now that i am going down that path)...  so is there
anyway i can force it to reconcile the older stuff?  we are talking
back to 1998... i don't want to delete the transactions... and q wont
show me the data from those data (odd...it exports it but wont show me
the transactions). (i did try from the start and ending balances i
have -- and it wont reconcile with that - out by 1098.72 (positive)
and there is not 'one' transaction for that amount - and i ensured
both starting and ending amounts are negatives)
