But the real question is whether you just failed to notice that the reconcilliation balance was not zero but off by the amount of the check = or did Quicken totally screw up and report some other amount. If the only problem was that a check was marked R when it should not = have been but was not included in the reconcilliation, then I attribute it to operator error. I have on occasion clicked incorrectly and changed the status of an item. In that case, Quicken has make no error; and in the = next reconcilliation, my error would become obvious if I had not corrected it before then.
