Missing transaction in reconcile window (Q2006 del)

I am reconciling my latest checking acct statement, and in the
reconcile window a transaction is missing that's in the register. If
I mark that individual transaction as reconciled in the register, the
starting balance is wrong but the reconcile window reads balanced.

1) How do I get Quicken to recognize a transaction in the reconcile
window.

2) If I can't, does it hurt anything to just accept the error in the
reconcile, and then mark the missing transaction "R" afterwards?

Thanks!

That can happen when the source of the transaction is a copy/paste from
a reconciled transaction. Just delete and re-enter the transaction and
it should appear in the reconcile window.

And it can happen if you have specified the wrong reconcile
statement ending date.

It usually means that the "Posting date" for the transaction is
outside the reconcile statement period.

I believe blank posting dates (which you get when you manually
add a transaction) are usually assumed to belong to any
reconcile, regardless of statement ending date.

You can also usually fix the problem by either specifying the
correct reconcile statement ending date or modifying the
transaction "Posting date" (by right-clicking the transaction,
then left-clicking "Copy transaction" and entering the correct
Posting date).
