To correct a Forced bank rec - you'll probably see an account called Reconciliation Discrepancies (RD). What I would do is Undo the last bank recs until you are back to a "good" one. Then delete the RD account. Then start from there.

@debbiekilz : thanks for reply. I'm using a quickbooks pro 2003 version and there's no option to "undo last bank" nor "locate discrepancies" ... what could be another way to correct the opening balance which is off by the adjusting entry amount made bec of the forced rec since I deleted that amount in the general journal? any advice? Thanks.

That's a great trick! --- Could this apply too to correct/redo a "forced bank rec"?
