I think I found the problem. I viewed the price history for this money
market fund, and I saw about 100 entries that were NOT $1.00. These
entries had all come from online updates.

I deleted these entries manually. I think that my computer mouse is
worn out now. I also added an asterisk (*) to the end of the trading
symgbol. I hope that this will prevent any further online updates to
this money market fund.

I am having a similar problem with a Money Market fund. I just posted
today on this subject. My post concerned the # Report in MS Money.

I clicked on the fund in my portfolio page and brought up the
"Analysis" page. It stated that the 52 week high/low is 3.410/2.850.
Then I brought up the "Investment Activities" page. As I expected, it
showed a ton of buys and sells at $1.00, plus a few dividends. And
nothing else.

Now I cannot trust any report that MS Money gives me.

Default Cost basis is $2.00 when always buying at $1.00

I have a money market fund that I've always purchased at $1.00.
However, my "Avg Cost" column in the portfolio view for this fund is
$2.00. How can that be?

Thanks,
Brett
