Thanks, John. For the benefit of me and everyone else, let me make sure I get this correct as a procedure to follow. See questions below.

The starting balance is dynamically calculated as the sum of all reconciled splits in the account up until the “reconcile date”?

If I “unreconcile” a split, then the starting balance for reconciliation would necessarily change (decrease) right? > So if you have a few splits from a past reconciliation whose errors net out, > you can note the reconciled balance, unreconcile the erroneous splits, tell > the reconcile info that the ending balance is the one that you noted before > changing the splits, then edit and re-reconcile the splits with the correct > values. > > But if the errors don’t net out and the balance you reconciled to the first > time is wrong you need to unreconcile every split back to that statement and > re-reconcile all of the statements in order. To be clear: (i) unreconcile back until just after the last transaction that was correctly reconciled. If what I suggested above is correct, this alone will reset the reconciliation status back to the last correct reconciliation. (ii) Start reconciling from statements after the last correctly reconciled one; this can be done in the normal way as it was the first time through (but getting it right :). Is that all correct? Thanks for clarifying.
