Arthur,

Steve here.

Ok, I think I understand.  I'll try to give it a go.

Firstly, read the money talks documentation where the header titled "New account: Ctrl+N" begins. It is quite near the top of the documentation. You will also read about how to determine your starting balance with the program. There is a header section called "starting balance".

In the properties dialog for money talks, accessed by pressing alt plus enter, you will find the first edit box called "starting balance". The amount placed here represents the starting amount for money talks, if there were no transactions in an account. You may have to adjust this amount a few times to make the register agree with the bank. There is a systematic method for this madness, but I always get confused.

I suspect folks on this list can do a better explanation, but this may get you started.

Steve

Thanks Steve but my problem is when working from a paper report from the
bank how do you tell the program the ending balance, ending date and that
you want to use these to reconcile?

Hi Art,

I'll try to answer.  If you are not using a downloaded .qif file or .csv
file from your bank, just press control plus enter on a transaction which
you want money talks to show as cleared.  The clicking sound that you hear
when navigating to the transaction will no longer be heard, indicating
you've cleared it in money talks.  When you are finished clearing all
transaction, just exit the program with alt plus F4 and answer yes to the
save file dialog box.  I think pressing enter activates the yes button as
well, but don't quote me on that.

If you are using .qif or .csv files do your clearing action with the control
plus enter key combination while viewing the bank grid to clear the
associated transaction in your register. You can alternate between the bank
grid and the register by pressing the tab key. But make sure to clear the
transaction in the bank grid. Again, just press alt plus F4 to exit and
save.

By the way, press control plus shift plus enter to unclear a transaction in
case you made a mistake.

Steve

I am new member and need some help. How do you complete the reconcile
operation after you have shown all the chedks cleared and your cleared
balance matches what the bank has sent on paper?
Thanks
