Thanks for all your replies and advise, the one which finally did the trick
was 'Keyboard Shortcuts For Quicken Users is not ticked' it was indeed and
clearing the tick brought in the functionality you advised.

Thanks ALL, once again and have a very merry Christmas everyone.

Keith,
Is this problem occurring on one particular record or all records?
If it's happening on one record only, then you have a possible
corruption issue.
The only way that I've found to correct this problem is to do the
Export/Import routine.
I would only recommend THAT if you are very experienced
with MS Money and very familiar with all of your accounts and
all of your investments.
Here is a link to check out

If you are going to attempt it, one thing that they left out of the
tutorial was that you should put an underscore _ in front of
ALL of the .qif files that you create for your investment accounts
so that you can later associate their corresponding Cash accounts
to them.
For example:
_Fidelity.qif
FidelityCash.qif
_Vanguard.qif
VanguardCash.qif
I've performed this in the past so if you need help post back.
Good luck
-Kevin

In Money 2004, which you are using, go to Tools-> Options-> Editing.
Make sure that KeyboardShortcutsForQuickenUsers is not ticked.

Select one transaction in the register, and watch the C column for
the transaction.

Hold down both the Ctrl and Shift keys as you momentarily poke the M
key.

If the C column does not change, try the other Ctrl and Shift keys.
If the C column still does not change, a different keyboard. If the
problem persists, you have probably installed a piece of software
that is intercepting the keystrokes. You could try a clean or
selective boot of Windows XP to cause other software to not load on
boot.

Do you have any of the accessibility sticky mods for keyboard activated?
It's just a guess. This has always worked here...

Still no joy, nothing at all happens when I Hold down Cntl+Shift+M except
the screen flashes, I have tried clicking once on the transaction and doing
this and also tried clicking twice (as if to edit the transaction) but
neither does anything???

Yes. You need to select the a particular entry in the register.

You could also mark *all* entries as reconciled:
Select to show only unreconciled
transactions. Sort by date, and go to the oldest transaction.
Hold down Cntl+Shift+M and let auto-repeat work thru the
transactions until none are left showing. Then balance making the
starting and ending balance match the known balance. Choose the
balance date to be the day after your last transaction. This is
not the normal procedure. It starts you with an amnesty for former
balancing.

Thanks for the reply and info, however when I tried this it does not work in
mine, When I go to Help> About, my version is 12.0, should this work ok?

Thanks

One: Ctrl+Shift+M and Ctrl+M, respectively, with the transaction selected in
the Register view.

Are there any shortcuts in Money 2003 to mark items as reconciled or cleared
without right clicking and choosing the option in the main registry?

Thanks
