Nope nothing out of the ordinary. Entering items and bog standard  
reconcile.

I don't let MD do backups. But I went through my last few and about three  
invocations of MD back the file size dropped. I restored from the last big  
one and luckily had less than a dozen items to reenter. All OK again. But  
it begs the question as to what happened.  I only have the exchange rate  
extension. And the item that suffered the change in rate was *way* before  
that - years back.  But from the stuff I looked at whilst it was borked it  
seemed only cross account items had lost their cleared flag.

I assume MD can tell if it reads in a corrupt or incomplete MD file? Is  
there any problem with the size of the file? My main *.md file is over 4  
meg. (Goes back to '93)
