Baird is currently revising its website -- maybe they'll add support for
Money. FWIW, it's the only broker I know of that does this -- others either
suppport both or neither products.

Thanks Michael for the reply. This is exactly what I was figured was
happening. I was really exceited when it looked like Money provided
integration with more Brokers than Quicken, and I was ready to dive head-long
into it. I really like its smooth and elegant interface. But with the
reality that the back-end integration doesn't really work with a large
percentage of my brokers, it doesn't do me a whole lot of good. Hopefully it
will get better.

The only way Money can get data from Baird is by scraping (via a third party
provider) -- Baird isn't involved at all. My experience is that the process
doesn't work at all and I gave up -- except for nagging Baird to either
support Money or allow manual downloads of Quicken files (which Money can
handle).

Well clearly Money 2007 is doing something behind the scenes to pull data
from Scudder and Baird, because it is giving me the correct funds and
balances, just not matching them to my existing funds. So given what we have
uncovered so far, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

That would change things.

shows Scudder as web-only. I don't see mention of Baird.

Cal,

I have been trying for an hour to capture the OFX data for this downloaded
statement. I followed the instructions in Microsoft Support to create the
registry entry to enable OFX logging, and I am not getting any log files
created for Scudder or Baird. I do get log files for Fidelity, so I know I
configured the logging properly. Maybe there is a non-OFX based transmission
in use for Scudder and Baird, and maybe that's part of the reason why I can't
get them to work properly.

Those seem to be unequivocally funds, and I doubt they would be
called stocks in the OFX.

There is another possibility: they may be called funds in the OFX
and in your file, but have a fake CUSIP from Scudder. [I have
re-thought what I wrote, and this hypothesis now seems unlikely. I
will still throw it out as a possibility, since I may have not
considered all of the implications properly]

Fidelity Net Benefits is notorious for that, and there is a way to
handle it in Money 2007. Perhaps Scudder is doing that too. Or
perhaps Scudder is doing it right and you had used Fidelity Net
Benefits to hold that same fund at some point.

So consider posting the first part of OFX section for one, such as
KDHAX that includes the <UNIQUEID> for that. A proper CUSIP has 9
characters and would be 23338F804 for KDHAX.

If you don't have newline characters in your OFX, you might replace
all "<" with "newline<" using a text editor. That makes it easier to
read.


Here is an example:
===================================
<MFINFO<SECINFO<SECID<UNIQUEID> 779552108
</UNIQUEID<UNIQUEIDTYPE> CUSIP
</UNIQUEIDTYPE</SECID<SECNAME> T ROWE PRICE EQUITY INDEX TR FD
</SECNAME<TICKER> PREIX
</TICKER===========================

Cal,

I just discovered I have the same issue with another broker and another
fund, so I see a pattern developing here that night indicate the problem
isn't on the broker end. I have four funds from DWS-Scudder and all of them
have this issue. KDHAX and MIDVX are two examples. The other broker account
with this problem is with Baird, and the fund is SWHCX.

I agree with Bob's description. You want to confirm that Scudder
lists the security as a stock. To do that, you could import the OFX
file into a new file , import into a copy of your existing file.
Then create the new investment, and see what type of investment is
created. Alternatively, examine the OFX file. See if the security is
listed in a <MFINFO> section, or if it is in a <STOCKINFO> section.
If you don't have your hands on the OFX file,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911941/en-us would tell how you
could get it.

Assuming you do want to change the existing "fund" into a "stock",
you could change the transactions now entered for the "fund" into
ones that are also appropriate for a stock. Then you should be able
to change the type readily. If there are a lot of capital gains
transactions, then this will not be good in that those are not
really appropriate for a stock.

To get to the transactions to make the change, you can right-click
the investment in the Portfolio view, and choose
SeeInvestmentActivities.

As to whether you could get Scudder to change the designation, I
would doubt that. Would you care to name the security?

Yes, it is listing only the handful of stocks in my portfolio to choose from.
At one point I thought maybe this had something to do with it, so I tried to
change my funds to stocks but Money wouldn't let me do that because of the
transaction types that were in place. So it sounds like my only recourse at
this point is to contact Scudder and let them know their OFX data is
incorrect.

This can happen if your broker (Scudder) has the investment listed in the
OFX file as a type different from the way you have set it up. For example,
it designates your investment as a Stock when you have it set up as a Mutual
Fund (no matter that the way you have it set up is correct, if they have it
set up differently, you are SOL). When you look at the drop down list is
the type of investments shown different from the type of your investment?

Hello,

I recently installed Money 2007 Deluxe. When I update my statement from my
DWS-Scudder account (it doesn't happen with my other account), I get prompted
with the investment verification step to either add the new security or match
it with an existing security. The bizzare thing is, the name and symbol it
displays is already in the portfolio with the exact same name and symbol, but
it doesn't show it in the matchlist drop-down. And if I choose the second
option, which is to add the security, it tells me I can't add it because the
same name and symbol already exist in my portfolio! I have been going
through this exercise in futility for two days trying to find a way out. I
even tried adding it under a different name with no symbol, and then
combining it later with the actual security I hold, but when I do that,
strangely it doesn't list the security that I need to combine it with! This
is seriously like a cruel joke. Does anyone have any idea what might cause
this? I did convert the file from Quicken recently, because I got tired of
endless futility of trying to get my portfolio correct in that program. Now
I am stuck spinning my wheels again. Any help whatsoever is greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
