Lost Report

With all due respect, did you look under REPORTS? Under Banking, you'll find RECONCILATION.

Ah, thanks.

In QHB 2005, I had to go to Reports/Cash Flow/Reconciliation/Reconciliation Report Setup. (I was using the Reports Icon (Reports and Graphs) which didn't work.)

Nevertheless, I set the date on the report back to 12/30 when I originally reconciled, and it didn't work. The numbers and items changed and apparently included transactions entered after the 12/30 reconciliation.

Is there a way to get a report which mirrors the one done on 12/30? Thanks again.

Well, personally I am using Q2008 Premier, so I imagine that things might have changed between the dates as well as the possible functionality of the two products, although I know that H&B isn't all THAT different from regular Q. At any rate, saying that, when I bring up the Reconcilation Report and click on "Show Report", I do get a dialog box that allows me to enter a date next to "Show Reconcilation to Bank Balance as of " .

I think not, if you've changed the account register since the reconcile.

If you have the report include all transactions, it's going to include transactions not reconciled ... even the report run as part of the reconcile process does that. If you have added transactions to the account since you reconciled, they're going to appear in the reconciliation report.

[I don't use the report, so I have not taken the time to verify in detail, the validity of a recon report for an account that has had transactions added/modified since the reconcile. But a quick glance suggests the report may be "correct", even though not what would have printed at the conclusion of the reconcile. If - a big if - the only difference is in the "uncleared transactions", I don't know why the report wouldn't suffice.]

To see the exact same report that would have printed at the conclusion of reconciling, restore a backup, from just following the reconcile, to a temporary folder, and print the recon report from there.

Ah, I see what you mean John - the OP did say "mirror the one done on

12/30,". But, what I mean (and what I think he might mean but I could be misunderstanding his true intent) is to verify that his Quicken account reconciles as to the 12/30 bank statement. It is true, as you say, he may have transactions added since the original 12/30. But that should not negate the intent of his balancing to the 12/30 statement, unless he ALSO wishes to see 'uncleared' transactions exactly as they might have been at that point too, right? And since he did say he's using H&B, that might be what he needs for auditing purposes. Not sure.

Me too, but it didn't work. The report included transactions after the closing date.

I assumed the same as you. As I said, I don't use the report, so I didn't spend a great deal of time trying to determine what the differences were, but it looked to me like the portion of the report that covered the reconciled transactions will be the same if no changes were made to the reconciled transactions.

But so does the report printed at the immediate conclusion of a reconcile ... if such transactions exist in the register at that time.

I don't know about you, but I almost always have transactions in the account that occured after the statement period ... which would appear on a reconcile report ... if I created one. [They do when I create a test report.]

I'm not sure what you intend to do with the report, and I've made no effort to check it in detail, but it appeared to me that the numbers for the statement period itself were the same, even if new transactions had been added after the reconcile.

In any event, I don't think there is any alternative, other than printing from a backup.

I agree with you, and it's not worth the effort to do a restore just for the report. If I ever have the problem again, I'll remember to print the report before entering new transactions. Thanks for your time and assistance. Regards...

That's all I was trying to do - have the report match the bank statement. Thanks for your help, I'll know better next time.

It is true, as you say, he may
