I have had to do this from time to time when trying to reconcile
transactions and trying to reconcile accounts. I too have 'fooled
around so much' and made a mess of things. I have reconciled a whole
year's worth of transactions only to find I just butchered two accounts.
I've adopted two principles to mitigate problems;
1. back-up my file before attempting a big operation like reconciliation
or importing
2. well, there isn't a #2
The back-up is king.

Hello,
GC 5.9 on a mac mini using sonoma 14.6.1. I made a futile attempt to
balance my cash starting with the credit line account and then going to
cash. Used the bank statements to guide my entries. The problem was
that there was an entry in the credit line statement which didn't show
up on the cash statement. I fooled around so much that I had to change
a whole month of cash entries from reconciled to not reconciled. Then I
tried several techniques to change the cash entries to match the bank
statement. Now I have a garbage cash list and none of the entries I
made to fix things are not showing up in my general journal or my cash
statement.
The only thing I can see to do now is to go back to an earlier backup of
GC and re-enter the bank statement entries and forget about the credit
line statement. Any comments? Thanks.
Rick
