Older versions of Quicken, including Q2001 I'm fairly sure, had
a bug which could cause a previous reconcile to become out of
balance ... if you modified the category of a reconciled
transaction. (I don't recall the details, but I don't think it
was consistent, I don't think that every time the category of a
reconciled transaction was changed, the reconcile became out of
balance).
I believe there were several discussions of the problem in this
newsgroup, you chould check the archives.
I think the "solution" was to click "Resolve", then delete every
reconcile through the oldest that was marked in error ... then
re-reconcile.
