Roland, It also depends where in the register display you are getting the balance at a specific date. Transactions do not always get entered in GnuCash in the order they appear on a statement Rarely in the case of my credit card and sometimes also my paypal account.
If you are looking at the balance displayed on the Balance column on the right, the balance at a specific date is not necessarily the reconciled balance as there may be unreconciled transactions in between. Not all transactions on that date may necessarily have been reconciled. My transactions are often out of the order in the register cf order in the statement The reconciled total in the status bar at the bottom of the window is the total of all reconciled transactions in that register and is what should appear in the starting balance for the reconciliation. If this does not agree with the opening balance on the statement or the closing balance of the previous statement then you have an error somewhere earlier in your records. ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
