Can't uncheck bank reconciliation setting

Hi
I have just added a 2nd company to my Sage accounts package. I have just tried to reconcile the main bank account but cannot because the little check box in the Bank Record window is greyed out and can't be changed. I've looked for something in Bank Defaults but there isn't anything. In the past, with other companies I've set up, it has always been possible to uncheck the box. Anyone know how to get this working? Unless I can uncheck the little box I can't reconcile the account.
Thank you.

What is the bank account nominal code?

Account 1235 by default is the cash register and is set to not be reconcilable!

Settings>Bank Defaults

Lower section lists the Bank A/C nominal is that the same?

fix: bank reconciliation - cash register account 1235

Was the account 1235 / set to being the cash register the issue?

I can reset the cash register account for you if you like.

I seem to have the same problem.

I have recently changed the Cash Register account (without understanding the implications) to 18015 which is my main bank account.
Account 18015 now shows the 'No Bank Reconciliation' box ticked.

As per your post below, please advise how to reset the cash register account to correct this mistake on my part.

Many thanks.

Hi Paul

You can't fix it. Once the account is set to being the cash register and has transactions on it, you can't change it!

I can, I have written a tool to do it.

I would need your data and 20 mins or so to do it.
