Good point. I only download the transactions into Quicken so my bank
statements will always match Quicken. This is not the case if you are
entering transactions into your register as you incur them.
Quicken does not save the account recs so you have nothing to go back on
unless you print them out at the end of each month. At this point you may be
stuck going back through all of the bank statements until you find the
transaction that got deleted.
