I think there's a glitch in the system.  I have had the same issues as these other folks.  I first did a journal entry to record an expense that did not come thru from the bank and it did not show up in the reconciliation even though it was in the register.  I then deleted journal entry and did a manual entry to the bank register and only after changing status to "R" did it show up on the reconciliation on line, but when I printed report the transaction did not print out on the reconciliation report.  Shouldn't be this complicated or this difficult.
