Tom, If the starting balanc is out then the problem lies with previous reconciliations not with the reconciliation you are doing at the moment. If it is a single transaction that is out a search for transaction with the amount the starting balance is out may find it. Won't work if multiple transactions are involved. Are there any transactions showing up in the debits and credit panes which are before the start date of the current reconciliation?
