If you wish to start fresh and declare an account balanced, you can
mark all entries balanced. Select to show only unreconciled
transactions. Sort by date, and go to the oldest transaction.
Hold down Cntl+Shift+M and let auto-repeat work thru the
transactions until none are left showing. Then balance making the
starting and ending balance match the known balance. Choose the
balance date to be the day after your last transaction. This is
not the normal procedure. It starts you with an amnesty for former
balancing.

Thereafter, follow the normal procedure.

Yah. When balancing the account, put in the believed true ending balance.
Mark the transactions believed to be in that balance. Click Done. (I think
that's it.) When Money asks if you want to accept the out of balance
condition, say yes. It will put in an adjustment transaction to get the
register to match.

becasue I've been trying Quicken I had to import a month's worth of stuff
back into Money and somehow, because many things were already reconciled in
Quicken, when I went to balance the acct in money, the numbers got all
screwed up.

i know the current balance is correct, but the Balance program thinks it's
several thousand off.

is there any way to just accept the current balance and go forward, and then
reengage the balance procedure after another month and have it be correct?
