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.
