Can't void a payment bernie 08-25-2008

I made an online payment via Wachvia and they sent a paper check to
the payee. Something went awry and the payee ended up sending the
check back to me. I called Wachovia about what to do and they said
that I should just void the transaction and shred the check: they
don't deduct the funds until the check clears. Great!!

So I go into quicken and "void" is grayed out. No way I could see to
void it. Is there some clean way to sort this out. About the only
way I could think of was to enter a fake transaction as a deposit for
the amount of the check and then 'Reconcile' both the check and the
fake-deposit. Any cleverer way to do it? Thanks!!

Not sure I would classify either of these as "clever", but ....

1.) Change the amount of the transaction to zero; put VOID in
the memo field. This if you really want some Quicken record of
what happened.

2.) Delete the transaction. Nothing financial actually
occurred.
