Trouble with changing opening balance

Sigh. i am trying to reconcile a bank account in a new QB file, but the person who set up the file for me did not enter an opening balance.  If i edit the account, I have the option of changing the opening balance, which seems odd. 

I followed what i thought were the correct instructions to change the balance (entering it in the account register) assigning the balance to the Opening Equity account.  It posts as a transfer, not a deposit, and i think this is the reason that the balance still shows as zero.

 

Could someone please help me correct this?  Thank you
