Money could be matching transactions (before the auto-reconcile) in
December, as the matching occurs over a date range that can include future
dates. The things I would do are to reduce the matching range (somewhere in
Tools-> Settings or Tools-> Options, depending on your money version). The
default is 60 days, which IMHO is too large. Secondly, turn autoreconcile
off and do it manually, unless you have a huge number of transactions to
match - Money does it's best, but once it starts getting it wrong, you'd be
better off with doing it manually.

I posted a long message several days ago to which there were no
responses. Must have been unclear, or too complex. So I'll try one
small element of the problem that happened:

When I did my last balance of the bank statement dated 11/30/04,
I had already downloaded from my bank transactions through 12/7/04. In
the process of balancing the account for 11/30/04, all the downloaded
transactions for December ended up being marked "Reconciled". This
has never happened before and I would not think it should be an option
since it can (and did) cause balancing problems. The December
transactions should remain "cleared" but not "reconciled" until I
balance the December 31 statement. If it's an option that somehow got
switched on, where do I turn it off?

If it's not an option, any suggestion why it occurred?

TIA

Jim
