dmartin301,
You could try adjusting the "Opening balance" by $200 and see if
that tricks Money into recognizing your correction.

dmartin301,

Go to your Checking Account Register.
On the left side panel click on "Change account settings"
Scroll down to the bottom of the resulting page and check to
see if the mysterious $200 was somehow entered into "Opening balance"
