Delete a lot of reconciled entries at once? Urgently needed answer!

Is there a way to undo (not delete the entries) but undo the R mark of a
bunch of entries at once? Rather than one by one?

I have to go back to a reconciliation of a few months ago and need to undo
the R(econciled) tick marks of a lot of entries.

Thanks.
I went there after your answer but see no way how I UNDO the reconciled
transactions "en masse" but NOT Delete them.

Can you be please more specific? Thanks a lot!

You "Find" the transactions with an "R" in the "Cleared Status";
then select the transactions you want and "Replace" the "R" in
the "Cleared Status" with either a "c" or a space.

(And you can't DELETE anything in the Find/Replace dialog).

Let's please go through this step by step and you tell me what I do wrong:

1. I selected all R(econciled) items from 3/9/2006 until June 11/2006.
Selected first items, held Shift and went with the Mouse to the last one.

2. I now go in Quicken 2006 to EDIT and then FIND AND REPLACE.

3. There I see Search "All fields", underneath it Match if: "Contains"

I must be doing something wrong because I think I am following you but I do
not get there.
