That last sentence makes all of the difference. That sounds like a
Money Market Fund. Had you created it as an MMF, Money would assume
that the price is fixed at a dollar.

If you have already defined it, there is a procedure you could use
to change it from Mutual Fund to MMF. Otherwise, just manually enter
a price by selecting the fund in the portfolio, and in the left
column select UpdatePrices-> UpdatePricesManually. Enter a price of
$1 and date it to a time before you made your first Buy.


=============== Changing MutualFund to Money Fund ================

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

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

Make a large dummy AddShares of the NEW fund, dated before all
other transactions, into the account register. If you have not
pre-defined the security, be sure that you select Money Market as
the type. Select a TEMPORARY name of the new MM something that
starts the same as the old name. That way when the drop-down list
starts at the old name, the new one will be adjacent. If you chose
zzzz as the old name, you might use zzz1 as the temporary name.

Go back to investment zzzz and choose View: Investment Details.
Change each transaction to zzz1 using the drop-down list. Start
with the newest transaction. I would double-click the transaction
to open it for edit.

In any case, keep going until there are no more zzzz transactions
remaining. At that point you can "delete" zzzz.

Add the symbol and rename zzz1 to the name you want to use for
real. Delete the dummy AddShares that you put into your
register; accept the warning.

Hi,

I was able to add all my portfolio holdings in Money 2006, except for the ML
Retirement reserves fund (MLIKX) which I found out from Merrill Lynch, is a
private fund to hold money before being allocated and hence no public symbol
is available. Is there a way to track my reserve funds? To make things
simpler, the value per share of this fund is just a dollar.

thanks,

Sid
