I'll let you know if I find out. It is mind-numbing.

Amazing how stuff like this just disappears. I thought I'd been down that
path with M06, but I guess not. Once upon a time, Money was a very organized
design. You could work with the details of things all in nice uniform ways.
They just keep doing uniform stuff like this for no apparent reason and in
ways inconsistent with the rest of the product. It's sad, really.

Well, there are links to
Find the right loan
Profit from your investments
Cut your tax bill

Maybe they just had to delete the useful stuff in order to make room!

I could not find it in M2007.

Work with Investments
Record a Buy
Record a Sell
Adjust your Shares
--------------------
Set up a new investment
Delete an investment from all accounts

In addition, I could not find the option to go directly to another holding when
viewing one holding. (Or from one Payee to another, without going back to the
Payee list).

Well, I should not be surprised.

The history of this program is that MS does remove features I value with new
releases.

To do this from the portfolio manager, you have to set up a view that includes
closed accounts; then select to show closed positions.

A real PITA compared with the old method of accessing the list directly.

Then, if you want to look at another position, you have to go back to the
portfolio view and reselect.

The former method was much easier.

Hmmm. I thought I'd done this. Will see if I can figure it out tonight.

Maybe it was a Too Advanced feature.

I was already to post that, but when I checked to make sure, the
"Select an Investment" part was not there in Money 2006 or 2007.

Portfolio-> ChangePortfolioView-> ShowClosedPositions may be of help.

Default Selecting Investments or Payees

In M2003, if I were viewing a Payee or an Investment, next to the identifier
for the particular Payee or Investment there would be a triangle. Selecting
that triangle would bring up a navigation window to allow one to quickly jump
to another Payee or Investment.

I do not see this for either in M2007.

Furthermore, I do not see any simple method of jumping to an investment that
does not appear in the Portfolio Manager.

HELP has been unrewarding.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
