Please log in for more thread options Thanks John,
I agree that copying and deleting shouldn't make any difference
mathematically, but it did for some unknown reason. However, your post
encouraged me to go back and do a MOVE transaction(s) rather than copy &
delete, on over 600 line items. Amazingly, it worked out OK....perfectly
reconciled to the penny.
One thing I did notice is that after the "move" transactions, all tranfer
payments were still marked "R" (reconciled), but the dialog that I had to
confirm on each of the 600 line entries indicated that the tranfer payment
would be deleted. Yet the tranfer payment appeared in both acc'ts (credit &
bank), and as reconciled "R".
However when I reconciled the bank acc't, the transfer payments popped up as
unreconciled. I proceeded to check-mark them in the reconcile dialog, and
in the end, everything worked out to the penny.
So thanks John for your post and information. I still have to wait a few
weeks for the credit acc't statement and reconcile, so I'll see what new
horizons I explore at that time. But for now, no problem! Thanks for being
there.
Cheers,
Jim
