Reconcile method Capt. Tuttle 11-09-2007

 I know I've messed up, but thought maybe someone here could help.
Is there any easy way to change the method to reconcile from paper
statement to on line balance? I don't remember now, but I think I was
using on line balance at first, but for some stupid reason changed it.
Yes, I did see the warning about doing that.
If I try now to go from paper statement to on line balance there is a
huge difference.
Is there any hope?
Thanks for any help you can give.

 Captain,

When you reconcile there should be a Radio Button to do this.

Yes, there is a radio button to do that. When you change from one method
to the other you get a warning that if you change you may screw up. I
screwed up and changed.
I want to know now if there is any way to change back without being
several hundred dollars off. That is what happens when I change the
radio button you mention.
Maybe I should just include the mistake of hundreds of dollars and go
from there, but that may just add to the problem rather than fix it.
The thought entered my mind to delete the account and start over. That
is not an easy solution or one I want to consider.

It should not matter which method you use to perform the reconciliation. One
is manual, and the other is automatic. Your ending balance is still the same
number, the cleared transactions are the same.

That said, how do you get a difference of several hundred dollars?

I changed from on line balance to paper statement.
