You don't have to wait for another download to modify your
existing register transactions. You don't use the Manual Match
window to make the changes; you make the changes directly to the
transactions in your Quicken register. Sorry if that wasn't
clear in my first reply.

You probably will have to wait for another download to see that
your changes solved the problem.

I think I understand your question better now. See also my
second reply to the original poster.

Thanks John,

I will probably have to wait till I download again, to see exactly those two
transactions? I am not sure quite how to find them from just within the
register.

John,
I may not be saying it correctly, I have Q2009. So please bear with me.

How or where do you find the "View Posting Date" dialog. Is there a special
view screen, filter, or report that shows all of them? I guess I've never
seen a field with that title. That's what I was poorly trying to ask. How
to find them and then go to the individual transaction to fix.

Steve

I described how to do that in my first post (though I forgot to
mention that you do it on existing register transactions).

You right-click on a transaction in your Quicken regsiter; then
you hold down CTRL and left-click on "Copy transactions". That
will present the "View Posting Date" dialog.

There is no way - other than what I described above - to see
whether an existing Quicken register transaction has been
downloaded.

But, when you try to do a Manual Match, and you see a
transaction offered in the Manual Match dialog that you are
certain was already downloaded, then that (register) transaction
is the one whose Download status and Posting Date you must
modify.

In summary: "Download" status and "Posting Date" are
characteristics of transactions in your Quicken registers. The
only way to see those fields (or modify them) is via the "View
Posting Date" dialog ... as described above.

And if the Manual Match dialog is displaying a candidate
transaction to match to, that should not be a match candidate,
it is almost always because Quicken does not believe the
candidate register transaction was ever downloaded.
