reconnciliation errors

I am using Q for Mac 5.9.2   I have faithfully reconciled accounts monthly since starting quicken in '93.  Now every month my reconciliation is off, I go back and reconcile monthly for up to a year before newest statement is accurate.  This is a total time consumer but I am unsuccessful otherwise.

    Hello Dennis. Appreciate your question.

    How far off is your reconciliation? Have you tried going back to find the last time that you had a $0.00 reconcile?

    If it is not too far off, I would recommend making an adjustment to your ledger so that your Quicken balances matches your statement or online balance, whichever you use.

    Hope this helps.  Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Respectfully,
    ~ Quicken Harold.

    How does one change an erroneous balance when edit does not allow it?

    Often times the lack of successful reconciliation can be due to a transaction that has either lost its Reconciled flag or has been deleted, either by user error or Quicken bugs.

    One quick troubleshooting step is to sort the register by the CLR field and look for any older transactions that may have lost their flag. If so, you can easily reset the flag by Option-Clicking the field to cycle through the Blank, Cleared and Reconciled flags. If not successful, read this FAQ to see if it helps: Quicken Mac v3.5+ (QM2016+) Reconcile Troubleshooting.

    Meanwhile, there is a feature in QM2007 that has not been re-implemented in "modern" QMac that would make this task far easier, reducing it to minutes or even seconds, vs hours or days. You can add your VOTE to Track/store Prior Reconciled Statements/periods.

    First, click on the underlined link above to go there, then click VOTE at the top of THAT page, so your vote will count for THIS feature and increase its visibility to the developers by seeking to have the features you need or desire end up in the latest version.

    While you are at it, you may want to add your VOTE to related IDEAS found on the

    "make an adjustment to your ledger" is a challenge in itself if the amount or balance needs to be changed.
