Delete a lot of reconciled entries at once? Urgently needed answer!

Edit > Find & Replace > Find/Replace

Thanks. I went there after your answer but see no way how I UNDO the reconciled transactions "en masse" but NOT Delete them.

Can you be please more specific? Thanks a lot!

You "Find" the transactions with an "R" in the "Cleared Status"; then select the transactions you want and "Replace" the "R" in the "Cleared Status" with either a "c" or a space.

(And you can't DELETE anything in the Find/Replace dialog).

Let's please go through this step by step and you tell me what I do wrong:

1. I selected all R(econciled) items from 3/9/2006 until June 11/2006. Selected first items, held Shift and went with the Mouse to the last one.

1. I now go in Quicken 2006 to EDIT and then FIND AND REPLACE.

2. There I see Search "All fields", underneath it Match if: "Contains"

I must be doing something wrong because I think I am following you but I do not get there.

You're off to the wrong foot here.

Find/Replace is a two part process; a Find (or Search) and a Replace: both parts must be done in the Find/Replace dialog ... you do not select anything until you are in the Find/Replace dialog.

Using Find, you select transactions with a "Cleared status" of "R". Then you select (mark) the "found" transactions you want to modify. Then you tell Replace what field to replace with what text.

Thank you very much for clarification. It worked fine.
