Check #### converted to electronic....

Did a Google Group search, but found no answer to my question. I may not have phraed it properly, so I'll ask now.

Using Q2004 Deluxe. I sent in a paper check to one of my credit card accounts to pay my monthly bill. I also entered it into Quicken's check register as usual. When I did a download of transactions, one of them was an entry that had no check number field, but in the payee field and the memo field was the following : "Check #### converted to electronic transaction by [bank]", where #### was the check number I entered into the register, and [bank] the name of the recipient.

As downloaded, it showed as NEW, and I accepted it, but now I have a check in the register that is uncleared and will never be.

What do I do about this one, and what do I do in the future when this happens again ?

Manually match it to the actual check in your register. Now all you can do is to delete the manual check and fill the payee and category info in on the downloaded check.

How about voiding the original check transaction and copying the "Check #### converted to electronic transaction by [bank]" message into its memo field. If you have a plan for all such transactions that puts a known, unique value in the memo fields of all related transactions, you will be able to easily create reports containing just those transactions, should you need to do any research; even to the point of finding the pair of transactions for just one check number.
