I suggest make an extra copy of your Money file under a different
name or in a different folder as a precaution!!!

I would next import from my broker, allowing the bogus "Microsoft
Stock" to be added.

Disassociate Stock from Money Download

The purpose of this is disassociate a security from the download
process. The problem this cures is that Money associates
downloaded stock by CUSIP. Renaming and/or changing the symbol is
not sufficient to appear as a different security.

Create dis_sk.ofx by cutting and pasting the portions between the
Begin and End lines (below) into a file named dis_sk.ofx.

File-> Import dis_sk.ofx into Money


Select the appropriate Account from the list.

Select the institution as the actual institution that holds the
account.

You should get the "You have n statements to read" screen. The
account you just imported into should show the name account name
followed by (1). Click that name.

You should get the pop-up that says "Money found the following
investment in your brokerage statement:".

Select "This investment is already in my investment portfolio with
a different name. I use the following investment in my investment
portfolio to track this investment:". From the drop-down list,
choose the stock you are trying to get rid of. Click Next. When
you get the "Are you sure "Microsoft Stock" is the same investment
as ZzzzA5?" (or is it the other way round), click Yes.

If you get the screen that says "Do you want to change the ticker
symbol for "Microsoft Stock" in Money from MSFT to ZzzzA6 to match
the statement, I suggest you click Yes.

Get the screen that says "The positions reported on nn/nn/nn
statement don't match those in you Money account. Do you want to
update your account to match the statement?". I would select No,
but it is up to you. Click Finish.

Now download from your broker for real. When you get asked about
Microsoft stock, say you already have it under another name. Select
the name you have been using. Now your broker and your Money file
should be in harmony.

Feel free to suggest improvements to this procedure.

=========================END dis_sk.ofx ========================

I'm running into a frustrating problem that I'm hoping
someone has an idea as to how to solve.

For what ever reason, Money is trying to match an
existing investment to a new investment. Everytime I
download my investment statements, it sees I have X
shares of MSFT, decides that it doesn't match the
existing Microsoft investment, and creates a new
investment of "Microsoft Stock". It then adds X shares
(essentially doubling it) into the account.

I've deleted the "Microsoft Stock" investment multiple
times, but it keeps recreating it. How do I get it to
match the correct and existing investment rather than
creating this bogus one?

I believe this came about in that when I set up online
transactions, it couldn't identify the shares, and I
accidentally set it to it's default rather than matching
to the correct investment. I can't seem to get it to ask
me this again, so I can match it correctly.

Regards,
Charles
