Just enter it like this: -23.17. Then you should be able to reconcile.

Do you mean entering the statement balance?

Yes. When I go to reconcile and put in the ending balance from the statement, it won't take a negative number. I work for a school and some of our sports carry a negative balance sometimes.

It should take a negative for the bank statement balance. Is this a bank statement? What do you mean by "sports"?

It's not a very good program. Just write down the negative number in a different text program so if it's "-7" then copy and paste it in.

I can enter the negative balance but it will not reconcile. I just get a blank screen rather than the normal reconciliation screen. Now it is impossible to reconcile anything.
