arbywon,

Were you able to ever find any way around this issue? I haven't.

OK. Will you agree that the Ishares is not an index, but is a mutual
fund based on an index? What I would do is to remove (blank) the
symbol from the existing "index". I would rename the current "index"
zzzz1, unless you find the symbol for an actual index. There should
be no transactions for zzzz1. Do *not* skip the part about blanking
the symbol! You can then Delete zzzz1.

Then I would do the download, and say that the Ishares holding is a
new security, and that its symbol is EPP.

I have a similar problem. The first security in question is "ISHARES INC
MSCI PACIFIC EX JAPAN INDEX FD" (symbol EPP) which is an ETF. It is defined
in my Money file as an Index. I don't know how it is defined or if it is
defined at all, in the downloaded statement. Never-the-less, in reviewing the
downloaded statement, I am asked to add this investment to my portfolio but
it already exists in this account and in others. This name does NOT show up
in the "already existing" investment list. A possible clue is that the
investments in the "already existing" list are all stocks (no mutual funds
and nothing that looks like an index). This might suggest that Fidelity
considers this investment is a stock. However, if I try to change the
investment type to "stock" from "Index", I am told that my "account contains
transactions not supported by this type."

I have "repaired" my Money file. There were no errors and no help.

What can I try next?

I wonder if the security is downloaded as a stock but is defined in
your file as a mutual fund.

I just purchased Money 2007. I converted a Quicken 2004 file that had
over 10 years of transactions spread over 10 or so accounts. My
problem has come when I've tried to set up the electronic interchange
with several different financial institutions (Ameritrade and JP
Morgan). Each of these accounts holds mutual funds that are also
being held in other accounts.

When Money stumbles on these mutual funds I see a dialog that
states..."Money found the following investment in your brokerage
statement." I am given two choices..
1) "This investment is already in my investment portfolio with a
different name. I use the following..."
2) "Add this as a new investment in my investment portfolio"

Of course, neither of these is correct. The mutual fund is already in
the portfolio with the correct symbol. If I choose the first option,
the mutual fund is not in the drop down list. In fact NONE of my
mutual funds are in the list. If I choose the second option and try
to add it as a new investment, Money tells me. "You indicated that
this is a new investment, but an investment already exists with the
same ticker symbol"

Interestingly, there are other drop down lists inside Money where my
mutual funds do all show up (for example in the "Compare with
investment" drop down seen on the investment price history screen).

Thanks in advance for the help
