Colin, Thanks for the quick response. I guess I wasn't careful enough because in checking the saved reconciliation I noticed that it was out of balance even though I thought I put in the right ending balance. I just started the reconciliation again clearing everything. Now it works fine. Lesson

I am often in the position where I have fallen behind on posting credit cards to the bank account although the bank account is reconciled. I am trying to catch up on this now. The problem is as I am trying to reconcile per month I am not able to finish that month for the credit card in hand

Maf, Yes it is confusing. Ok got 2.6.15 In the accounts tree the credit card account is listed directly under Liabilities. When looking at the preferences of this account under Edit/Preferences/Accounts it is listed under Reverse Balance Accounts as a Credit account. This category I understand is

David: It is account is under the Liabilities and labeled as a Credit account. Note: it shows deposits on left and withdrawals on right. Is that because it was originally an income & expense account and I changed it? Steps taken: Down graded the program to 2.4.15 (there is no 2.6.15) No change.

Mike, I did do it the old way eg: pen and paper and checked so I did not overlook transpositions by checking my total payments noted in Gnucash against the statement which agree as well as the credits. And indeed there are no outstanding amounts for 195.14 or 97.57. Since the statement and

Colin, I was thinking it was a version problem so I updated my software to make sure this was not the case. I love your suggestion. I did not know about the filter option. So I implemented it and cleared the reconciled items, then went back to the reconcile for that month and all agrees. Yeh for

John, What baffles me is that I am balancing a credit card statement with little activity. It was reconciled correctly the prior month, so the starting balance for the following month is correct. In this case the initial reconcile box reflects a different balance, so I put in the new balance
