To reconcile an account, from an accounting perspective, you only want to reconcile the transactions in that one account. You don't reconcile the transaction in the other accounts, be they debit or credit. They get reconciled when you reconcile that account and in some cases, they never get reconciled if you the other account is one you don't reconcile. Therefore, you don't have "to hunt for the opposite transaction" as you say. I have been using this program since February of 2015 and it has never worked the way you describe and I wouldn't want it to do that. If I move money from one bank to another, I want to reconcile each bank account from that bank's statement and wouldn't want transaction in bank "B" to be marked as reconciled when I reconcile bank "A".

Like, over 15 years. I used it before I was married, so it's definitely been more than 15 years. Anyway, I never upgrade except when I get a new computer, and then I install whatever is the latest, and transfer the files from the old version (or in my most recent case, I just started over, because the computer reformatted without my permission--yeah, that was a nightmare!). When this latest install happened, something had changed about how the reconciliation works. Always before when I had a transfer from one subaccount within an account to another, or if it was a split transaction, when I would check one box in the reconciliation window, all boxes pertaining to that transaction would check. For example, suppose I had extra gas money at the end of the month, but had overspent my grocery fund. I could transfer from the gas to the grocery subaccounts, and when I reconciled, I could check one box and it would mark them on both the credit and debit sides, without me having to hunt for the opposite transaction. Likewise, when I deposit a check, I usually divide it among various accounts, and all I had to do was click one of the subaccount deposits, and all the other deposits from the same check would be marked as well. Now, that's not the case. And I can't find an old enough version for Windows 10 that does that anymore. Anyone have any ideas? It now takes almost twice as long for me to reconcile, since I have a lot of subaccounts and do a lot of internal transferring within my checking account that doesn't show up on my bank statement. Having to look for the parallel transactions or figuring out which split transactions go together takes more time. I'm almost ready to try to find some other software, but I've used this for so long I really don't want to switch.
