How do I correct the Starting/Prior Balance when I do a reconcile?

I thought I had done a Reconcile for February. When I started a reconcile for March with Quicken 17 for Mac using the “Use Statement Balance” the amount in the starting balance was the balance for the end of January indicating I had not reconciled February, however the items from the February statement in the ledger for February indicated that I had marked them as cleared indicating I had done a Reconcile for February. Won’t that mess up my reconciliation? How do I correct that?

If the Feb transactions are marked as cleared (not not reconciled ((Green with White Checkmark)), then it sounds like you started, but didn't finish (by clicking on Done) your Feb Reconcile.

Reconcile Feb and actually finish by clicking Done. Then you can proceed to March.

That is the easiest way and what I would do.

(FYI: your "starting balance" is the sum off ALL reconciled transactions in that register.)
