I ALWAYS enter everything by hand.
Oh, and I'm using the Windows latest version.
A while ago, I remember seeing a number of transactions which were
marked as reconciled become unreconciled as well, and it balanced after
I checked them as reconciled again the next month.
The real kicker was the one item I noticed that came up reconciled
this month as tho I had done it last month. And I couldn't have done it
last month or else it would have been unbalanced. And the charge
was not on last month's statement.
But if nobody else has seen anything like this, maybe it is something
I'm doing. But it's strange that I never saw it with Quicken, thus my
post.

I've been using GC for several years now, and notice that I sometimes
can't
get cards to balance, I have to add an imbalance amount. Then this
month, I noticed that a charge that was on this month's statement
and not last month's statement was already marked as reconciled in GC.
Has anybody else noticed anything like this?
I don't even know how to track this kind of thing down, whether it's
a bug, or I'm just getting older and senile. :-)
without being rude, I would suggest the latter.
How are you entering your transactions?
I always enter them manually (I NEVER import), and when I have a problem
balancing I find it's *ALMOST ALWAYS* an error on my part (especially
with
my wife's card, because I don't get receipts from any online shopping
she
does). When entering I find I sometimes swap digits, which causes the
result to be off.
Every once in a while I have to cancel the reconcile and start over and
CAREFULLY watch the numbers to find where I entered something
incorrectly.
If you find you're off, then check again -- most likely something was
entered wrong. Either that or you modified an existing, reconciled
transaction (from the other side) which caused a break in that starting
balance.
Ideas?
TIA!

For my CC purchases I do an OFX download of the transactions for the
most recent statement once a month. It automatically marks the
transactions as cleared for me (so I don't have to check them off at
reconcile time) and almost always balances.
This month was one of the rare exceptions and it appears that one of the
transactions to which I had to assign an account was duplicated with the
following transaction removed. Can't prove it at this time so I'll be
watching to see if I can catch it happening again (and this time I'll
keep the import file around!)
