David,
Now that you mention it, indeed :blush:
There were two elements I wanted to bring up:
- perhaps the starting balance was entered backwards (due to starting from the
Equity account instead of the bank account)
- and I wanted to stress the fact the starting balance should be ignored in

Is there some reason you couldn't just change the opening balance in the
register to the correct amount, then performing the reconcile?

John,
That is exactly what the Opening Balance dialog actually does in Gnucash (it
creates those entries) and once the entries have been created they are
easily edited either from the Opening Balances register or from the register
