The Reconcile function allows you to quickly check if
 what the bank shows as your statement balance and what
 your checkbook register shows as your statement balance.

 Once all cleared (posted) transactions are in for the
 month, select Reconcile and choose OKAY to continue.  The
 program will determine the checkbook's statement balance,
 by totalling only those transactions that have been
 marked as being cleared (has a valid date in the CLEARED
 string gadget).  The amount shown in the STATEMENT
 BALANCE box on the lower-left of the Main Screen is what
 the Checkbook Accountant shows as being your statement
 balance.  If they are the same, congratulations!...you
 have just balanced your checkbook.

 If you get different statement balance amounts, don't
 fear.  Print out a copy of either all checkbook
 transactions from the last balanced statement to the
 last-entered transaction (from the View requester, select
 ALL TRANSACTIONS and RANGE with a suitable "from" date;
 leave the "to" date blank so that it will print from that
 date forward), or only the cleared transactions (from the
 View requester, select Cleared Transactions and RANGE, as
 described in the previous step).  Go to the Print
 requester and select Viewable Transactions and the
 desired destination (printer or disk file, whichever is
 best for you).  Compare the printout with your checkbook
 register.  This should help track down any discrepancies
 in recording the transactions.  If you find any errors,
 correct them and try again.  Repeat this process until
 you cannot find the error on your part and being to
 believe the error is in the bank's records.  You will
 have to deal with the bank yourself; Checkbook Accountant
 can only do so much.

 Good luck with your reconciliation.  If you have any
 problems balancing your checkbook, try out different
 View and Print options.  Their availability is to your
 advantage.
