Thanks for the suggestion. I did have to go back and re-create each
transaction with the newly created stock; it wouldn't let me change
the old transactions to the new investment.

It is not trivial, but not as hard as it first appears. A few
minutes should do it.

In the details, remove the symbol, and rename the existing "stock"
to something you will never use. Let's suppose you choose zzzz.

Create a new mutual fund with the correct name and symbol.

Go back to investment zzzz and choose View: Investment Details.

Change each transaction to the fund using the drop-down list. My
inclination would be to try starting with the oldest transaction.
Keep going until there are no more zzzz transactions remaining. At
that point you can "delete" zzzz.

Let us know if you encounter problems with that.

Myrna Larson suggests " To avoid problems with sells, you can
simply enter a bogus initial transaction with enough shares to
cover all subsequent sales. You should then be able to move the
transactions in any order you like. After all transactions have
been moved, delete the dummy entry."

Default Money 2003: Change investment type from fund to stock

One of my investments was set up incorrectly as a mutual fund rather
than a stock. Now when I sync with my brokerage website, it doesn't
find the stock (since Money thinks it's a mutual fund) and it wants to
add all the stock shares to my account as new shares.

How can I change the investment type from mutual fund to stock from
the Investments area? There are no menu options to do so and the
online help doesn't provide any clues. I have several years worth of
transactions for this stock, so I'd hate to have to re-enter them all.
