The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 99 Microsoft Money 98 Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95 Microsoft Money versions 4.0 and 4.0a for Windows 95 == Microsoft Money versions 3.0, 3.0a == 

= SUMMARY =

When you download information from your bank in Microsoft Money, you can edit each transaction when Money matches it with the transactions in your Account Register. However, if you change or delete the information received from the bank, you cannot use the ESC key to undo those changes except in Money 99, 98 and 5.0.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Normally, if you modify data of an existing transaction in the Account Register of Money 4.0, or the Account Book of Money 3.0, you can undo those changes by pressing ESC before you enter the transaction. However, in Money 3.x and 4.x, this undo feature is not available while merging bank statement information with your Account Register.

If you find yourself in this situation in Money 4.0, you can click the Postpone button. This cancels the matching process and allow you to start over. In Money 99, 98 and 5.0, pressing ESC will also postpone the matching process.

In Money 3.0, you cannot recover this lost data. You need to manually retype the information.
