Thanks for your help Steve but I am not doing a good job of asking my
question.
I am working from a printed summary and do not use the bank electronic
connection. I have marked all the checks cleared in June . Yess I am working
in the past. Now I match the bank statement for the 31 june. I do not know
how to get the program to reconcile as of June 31. I have entered many other
lines after that date and the program does no understand what I am trying to
do.
I think I had better ask my question again and let you get on with whatever.
Regards
Art

Art,
Steve here, N8UJS.
Once you have the programs starting balance correctly set, you will always
have the correct reconciled condition in the money talks program as long as
you add all your debits and credits correctly, including service charges,
fees, etc. Then you clear your transactions in money talks with the ctrl
plus enter key as they are cleared by the bank. Most banks have a phone
service which you can dial and listen to the most recent credits and debits
and checks which have been cleared by the bank. Many people use this
service, keeping their accounts accurate at all times without using the
reconciling procedures used with paper statements.
You essentially reconcile once with each account with money talks and as
long as you enter your data correctly, you should always be reconciled from
that point on.
Steve
