Default Re: Update incorrectly increases number of shares

Thank you both very much. With the additional information you both provided,
I found and deleted the bogus 132:100 split and then added my own bogus 1:1
split for the same day. Now the stock and fund quotes complete without
distorting my positions. Not what I would consider an elegant solution but
hey - it works ! Thanks again to both of you.

Jeff is talking about a bogus split entry rather than a real one.
Enter a 1:1 split for the same date as the bogus one.

Default RE: Update incorrectly increases number of shares

Not sure what more I can say. Just look at Altria's price history and you
will see a 132 to 100 stock split entry for 4/2/2007. It is downloaded when
you do an update. Just remove the entry and all will be ok until you do
another update. MS is aware of the problem and trying to fix it.

Default RE: Update incorrectly increases number of shares

Hi,

Not sure what more I can say. Just look at your price history for Altria.
On 4/2/07 you will see a 132 for 100 stock split entry. It was downloaded
when you did your update.

Default RE: Update incorrectly increases number of shares

Thanks for your help. My issue may be related but I don't think it's the
same problem you described. There has been no split of my MO shares since I
purchased them 03/25/2003. However, there was a spin-off of Kraft Foods
(symbol KFT) from MO at 03/30/2007. Before the erroneous MS Money stock and
fund quotes update yesterday, the original MO purchase transaction was shown
with the correct original number of shares, price, commission and total.
After the update, no transactions had been added but the MO purchase had been
changed as follows: Quantity increased from 300 to 396, Price decreased from
33.19 to 25.143939, Commission and Total unchanged. By the way, I realized I
have Money 2006 Deluxe not Money 2007 Deluxe if that makes a difference. Do
you think this is the same problem? Should I try to change the purhase
transaction back to the correct Quantity and Price and hope for the best?
(That makes me a little nervous !) Should I try to wait on any further MS
Money stock and fund quotes until the problem is fixed? Any further word on
when the fix might be ready? Or any other ideas? Thanks again for any help.

Default RE: Update incorrectly increases number of shares

This has been an ongoing problem for the past couple of weeks with several
investments. The problem is the price update download adds a split in the
price history. Look back over the price history for the split and remove it.
Support is working on the problem but couldn't trell me a fix date.

Default Update incorrectly increases number of shares

MS Money 2007 Deluxe. Yesterday, Altria Group (symbol MO) reported earnings.
Today when I run "Update stock and fund quotes, news, and exchange rates"
the number of shares of MO in all three of our accounts are arbitrarily and
incorrectly increased by exactly 32%. If I view details, I see the message
"The positions reported on the 10/17/2007 statement don't match those in your
Money account." and Money offers to generate a transaction to remove the
additional shares. I have used one or another version of Money for years and
I've performed the update almost daily all that time. I've never seen this
before and I've changed nothing. What could have happened and how can I fix
it?
