I've always been able to reconcile the cash portion of the investment

The only thing that even slightly approached that is the account update on
the account summary screen. The result of that is either add or remove share
transactions, dated as of the date you do the update. It does not change the
cleared/reconciled status of existing transactions.

Hi Chris. Thanks for your response.

I think I'm going to have to disagree with your saying that this
functionality never existed. All of my previous 401(k) investment
transactions were indeed reconciled somehow (right up until last quarter).
I know I didn't manually do those. Perhaps you are thinking about
Investment Accounts in general? I notice my stock trading account doesn't
even have an option for balancing. Anyway, it's pretty obvious that the
401(k) Manager is broken at this point. It shouldn't send me to a random
place in Money when I click "Done". I know it didn't do that in Money 2005
or previous versions.

That's your only option, if you want them 'reconciled'. It's not a bug, it's
a lack of functionality. Money has never supported reconciliation in an
investment account.

I don't disagree that it should work as well as reconciling a bank account,
but it never has. I have no clue if it ever will.

There are more important things in life to worry about.

In the past I have updated my retirement account via "Update Retirement
Account" or "401(k) Manager" once a quarter. Since upgrading to Money
Premium 2006 I noticed that my account could download my transactions online
and directly within Money (not yodlee). Super! Each paycheck I check for
updates, the appropriate buys are downloaded into "Investment Transactions"
and my "Cash Transactions are updated to a zero balance. All the cash
transactions are marked "R" (reconciled) but the investment transactions are
marked "E". No problem, just update your account and these will be marked
as reconciled as well. Nope. Using "Update Retirement Account" leads to a
dialog telling me there's no cash in your account for these purchases
(because they've already been entered). Using "401(k) Manager" doesn't work
either. When you click "Done" it just sends me to a random page inside the
Money software and my investment transactions are still marked "E".

Should I just manually mark the investment transactions as reconciled and
not worry about this?

This seems like a bug to me.

Thanks,
Richard
