What has been working for me is to tell Money that AddedOne is already in my account with a different name -- the name I have been using. Now if you then try to tell Money that RemovedOne is the same also, you will get into a repeating loop. Instead say that RemovedOne is a fake stock I keep around for the purpose: ZZZ1. In later versions, you can also say that the transaction is Void at the same time. Otherwise just go back and Void both the AddShares, the RemoveShares, and look for an additional AddShares to delete that Money might have inserted. Things might work differently in Money 2001. The data your broker sends may differ from what I get. So this may not solve it for you. Plus, you have to do it at the time of download, and need to be ready with a bogus investment like ZZZ1. If it does not work for, there is a more complex solution. |

| Every so often, my stocks change their exchange symbols, sometimes because they have changed their names, sometimes just for fun. When this happens, any graph of historical price is terminated, and a new one is started. It is very annoying! there must, one might thimk, be some way of altering the symbol in whatever database Money is using, in order that continuity can be established. Even the FTSE symbol was recently changed, causing me to have an apopleptic fit (nearly). Does anyone know how to solve this - in Money2001!? -- GPG |
