Bank Reconciliation module

Hi,

How do i use bank reconciliation module? The 'ending balance', do i have to put in exactly the amount which i receive from my montly bank statement? And also the 'ending date', lets say i put it as at end of April (30.04.08), when i review back it will show me the whole list right from the beginning, (1st Jan - 30th April). If i want to see only within april'08, how would i do this?

Thank you, really2 need your help.

Thanks.

Rgds,

Harith
