With Quicken, I often change reconciled entries.
Wjat I never do is change the amounts. It's not umusual for me
to find out more information about an entry after it is cleared
and reconciled (for example, who it was really paid to, when I finally
find my chequebook at the back of the kitchen utensil drawer. I wonder how
it gets there??)
