Any danger in voiding a bunch of old uncashed checks (to future reconciles)

Using Quicken 2006 just to keep checkbook for our Synagogue. No online services.

I have more than a dozen checks going back as much as 2 1/2 years. If, after reconciling the May statement, I now go back and void them all out will this cause reconciliation problems going forward. Will it have a problem with the starting balance next time I reconcile that I have to manually adjust? My intuition says the software should handle this, but not sure I trust my intuition on this. I void checks occasionally with no problem but they are always checks written after the last reconcile date.

It's easy enough to just leave these, but if there is no risk in voiding them it would clean things up.

The checks you are referring to were uncashed/unused and thus never reconciled (maked with an "R")? If so, there's no problem with voiding them. That will set your checkbook register balance closer to your bank balance but has no effect on reconciling going forward.

If you are concerned about it, save a copy of your data before voiding. If you don't like the results you can start over from your saved file.

Why didn't I think of that? Must have been zoned out.
