Just receive payment again for the invoice. A new transaction will be
created, and you'll have to clean up any duplication.

I don't know. I don't use the business version. While there are
often questions regarding invoicing, etc, those who use it don't
usually post answers.

That said, your plan sounds like it should work. If you want to try
that or other things, make an extra backup or copy of your file.
Then if you want to undo that thing, you can restore or replace your
file.

Thanks for your suggestions on backups. I already do some of what you said.

I am really hoping there is another way besides restoring my previous
backup. I had done almost 2 hours of book keeping when I began rushing to
get through and deleted that entry instead of the bank download entry for the
same deposit.

What would happen if I voided or deleted that invoice and created a new
invoice with the same number and entered the payment again? Would I make
anything worse?

Thanks,
Helena

By default, Money 2006 and later saves 4 backup files. You can undo
something with either File-> Restore, or opening Money by
double-clicking the *.mbf file from Windows Explorer.


Speaking of backups, in M06: Tools-> Settings-> BackupSettings
I suggest checking
x Automatically backup my Money file every time I close Money
Save in [a place on your hard drive ]
x Ask me before backing up each time*
x Compress Backup Files
Keep only the _20_most recent backup files [adjust to taste]

x Perform scheduled backups every _14_ days
Save in [a USB flash drive location]
x Ask me before backing up each time*
x Compress Backup Files
Keep only the _2_most recent backup files [adjust to taste,
but Money 2006 does not automatically trim to USB as it should]

Then periodically, perhaps once per month or more, copy your latest
backup (uniquely named by Money) to a CDR. With XP, this can be a
copy and paste operation. Otherwise use the burning software that
came with your CDR drive.

I strongly suggest use of a USB Flash drive rather than floppies.
They are bigger, so you don't have to swap media to back up. Plus
they are much more reliable (but not failure-proof).

* The reason I have Money ask me, is that I don't want to back up
each time I exit. If I went into Money 5 times in a day, I would
not want to back up 5 times, nor would I want to delete 5 other
backup files. You will be given the choice to BackUpNow or to
Postpone.

I'm fairly new to Money, using 2006 Small Business, and in haste I
accidentally deleted a payment for invoice deposit in an account register. I
haven't found a way to get it back. Is there any way? I don't want to mess
it up more, but I wonder if I should delete and re-enter the entire invoice?

Thanks for your help,
Helena
