Correcting incorrect matches

I've started downloading securities info from my brokerage, Merrill Lynch, into Quicken 2007 Premier.



Because Quicken's database doesn't know much, if anything, about call options, bonds and other non-standard securities, one is forced to guess what the downloads are referring to.



Well, I've matched a couple of items incorrectly and have had placeholders that I need to rid myself of.



what is the process to correct incorrectly match securities?



TIA

First choice: revert to backup.

If that's not possible, I think there is not much you can do except enter any missing transactions manually.

I do not think you will want those placeholders though, so I would delete them before doing anything else (if you enter transactions for those placeholders, dated on or before the placeholder, those transactions will forever be linked to that placeholder - even if you later delete the placeholder - and those transactions will never affect the cash balance in the account. Assuming Q2007 works like previous versions).

That what I figured. I don't have a backup far enough back to do as you suggest.

I've been deleting the placeholders.
