What would be the best way to do this? Thanks in advance. It is not trivial, but not as hard as it first appears. A few 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. The exception is that with Money 2003 or 2004, delete can actually delete; if you delete all transactions for zzzz (including watch accounts) and delete the investment, it will be deleted. You can use that name again. 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." |

| I used to use Quicken 99 then changed over Money 2004 (both were Canadian versions). The trust unit investments I have from the pre Money days are all classified as mutual funds, as Quicken treated them as such. My new ones are listed as stocks, and I'm finding that more details (yield, etc) are downloaded. I can't find a way to simply change the old trust units to stocks. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks in advance. Fj |
