Default Re: Reconcile Checking Account

Is the no transactions marked R an assertion or a confirmed fact? If you've
never balanced the account and Money can't agree between the balance genie
and the account details what the starting balance is, this would be very
odd. Not that very odd things don't happen with alarming regularity in
Money, but they usually tend to be in deep recesses of the program. (Budget
Planners is a favorite location for truly perverse behavior. The Balance
Genie, not so much.)

Your alternative from there is the file repair stuff.

It is also possible (low probability of occurrence for most people) to get
transactions in the database that are just "lost" invisible but are really
still there. Sometime you can see these if you do a QIF export and then
compare what's in that file with what shows in the register.

There probably isn't anything wrong with Money (at least in this case).

Money thinks starting balance is equal to account beginning balance plus any
transactions marked R for reconciled. Make sure you don't have any
transactions you don't intend marked R.
