I used to use "Update Retirement Account" religiously every quarter until
some funds in my account were no longer available to me and were
automatically transferred into new funds. This caused all kinds of
headaches. I then started using the 401(k) Manager and did my updates
there. It's much simpler and gets the job done.
To use it in Money 2005:

Click on the Investing tab
Click on Investing Tools, choose 401(k) Manager
Click on Update this account
Enter the statement date and statement total, then enter the current
quantity and price of each of your investments

The only negative here is if you are trying to track the performance or
price at which you bought individual investments. You will lose that since
the 401(k) Manager merely updates your account and makes the appropriate
adjustment.

I'm having trouble updating my 401k account using "Update retirement account"
for my end of 2004 statement. There is one specific investement that produces
the following error:

"... will cause the balance of 'xx' held in this investment account to
become negative at some point. Please cancel or revise the transaction."

If I try to do the "Dividend" and the "Buy" transactions manually then I get
the following error when I try to do the "Dividend" transaction:

"You have not purchased 'xx' in this Investment Account prior to this date.
Are you sure you want to enter this activity?"

Note that 'xx' has been in my account for years.
I answer "Yes" so I can proceed to the "Buy" transaction but when I do the
"Buy" I get the same error I was getting doing the "Update retirement
account" (above).

I need to update the account because it has since been closed and I need to
move it to another account.

Any ideas? Thanks.
