Previously Postponed Balancing this account message

I have received the following error message when
attempting to balance an account. If anyone knows how to
get beyond it I would be forever grateful.

"You have previously postponed balancing this account. If
you entered a service charge or interest amount last time,
you can't change them from here. You can change them
later in the Account Book window."

When in Balance General Account I am asked to enter
statement date, beginning balance, ending balance, a
service charge amount, as well as interest earned amount.
However the interest earned amount has prefilled data
ALC<402c> and when I attempt to continue I receive this
message. "'ALC<402c>' is an invalid amount.

How can I get past this error to finish balancing this
account?

Please Help!!!!!

That would be Money 3.0?

It does not look promising:

If you are using a very old version of Money, like 3.0 or older, prior posts
(do an advanced search for newsgroup microsoft.public.money at
http://groups.google.com) suggest your only hope is upgrading to a newer
version of Money. If this is the case, you may want to go to M04 while you
can still get it.
