You have to fix the starting balance first. If this is your first reconcile of a pre-existing account, read the docs as this is a little different.
More than likely, you can just reconcile starting from zero and include your Opening Balance transaction which should get you to the proper ending balance. (note, the Opening Balance transaction in this case *should* be equal to the Starting Balance from your first statement that you are reconciling) Regards, Adrien > On May 10, 2019, at 5:04 PM, ToddAndMargo via gnucash-user > <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> wrote: > > On 4/26/19 3:19 PM, ToddAndMargo via gnucash-user wrote: >> Hi All, >> I have been looking over the "Reconcile" on on eof m yu >> credit card account.
