I can manually reconcile those items but then the same thing happens the next month..
I understand that. In this case, the statement date is July 31, 2018 and the starting balance as of June 30 is correct. There are two transactions in the register in July and neither one is marked as cleared or reconciled but I always get "there are no cleared items to reconcile" when I try to reconcile the account.
Since I am NOT downloading transactions, the item is not marked cleared until I check it in the Reconcile window which indicates it appears on the statement. Since Quicken tells me there are no items to reconcile I can not continue, even there there ARE items to reconcile.
