Hi Richard
Good to see you on the forum again!
I'll answer part 2 first!
In the beginning (always a good place to start) there was
Bank Genie - back in 2005.
When Bank Genie was at version 3,
Bank Genie Pro was introduced.
It was referred to as Bank Genie Pro.
When version 4 was released, I began making the distinction on the forum postings - i.e. Bank Genie 4 and Bank Genie Pro 4.
NOTE 1: I may make the occasional slip and omit the version number
NOTE 2: Bank Genie and Bank Genie Pro are always in synch at the same level.
We are now working on Bank Genie Pro 5.
To answer your first question:
The prediction tool was and still is based on cheque numbers entered by the user.
Try browsing through your data using the Transaction Analyser program and correct any Cheque Number errors.
(You can edit Cheque numbers even when statements are reconciled).
Barry (BarryL on the forum) is working closely with me on Bank Genie Pro 5.
I have been refining the cheque number prediction feature in that version - Barry made the suggestion and does the beta testing as he has a number of diverse Bank Genie databases.
When it works for him, it usually works for others (as we discovered when developing the import program to import data from Quicken to Bank Genie Pro 4.
When you change to Bank Genie Pro 5 (planned general release is Q1 2016) we can revisit this topic
