In geenral, archiving is a hopelessly one-way trap. For this reason, many of
the regulars here do not do it, have never done it (except to play around),
and recommend other uses do likewise.

If you archived recently, you can just start using the "archive" file and
move on. It is EXACTLY your data file BEFORE you archived. It is NOT a subset.

If you've put much data in your ongoing file since you archived, that is not
a good solution.

You say that you removed an unreconciled transaction so your account doesn't
balance. I don't completely understand this. What if you just ignore the
transaction? Won't the ongoing account balance as though that transaction
were there? The "beginning balance" of the ongoing account should have been
adjusted as though this transaction occured when you archived.

Everyone of the experienced users here will suggest that you never archive
at all. There is just no benefit from it and a great deal of loss. It will
not make your file and faster or noticeably any smaller. So I would
recommend that you go to your last backup prior to archiving and restore
that file.

If for whatever reason you still insist on archiving, then you could still
go back to your backup and rearchive with the "only reconciled transactions"
option selected.

Or you could simply manually reenter the transaction along with a
corresponding account adjustment to deal with the balance. Manually mark
the account adjustment reconciled.

I inadvertently archived my 2007 entries without selecting "only reconciled
transactions" and now I have one unreconciled transaction I need to get to so
my account wil reconcile. Is there a way to do that? I don't want to
reenter the transaction as a new one as it will have my balance wrong then.
Thank you!
