Change it in the Investment Details. Right-click a reference to the
investment, such as a transaction, to get to the Investment Details.

If changing does not work, it might be because you have a
transaction type inappropriate to a Mutual Fund. If you run into a
problem, it will be easy enough to solve.

Cal,

I did some more digging, and found out how to change it - thank you for the
advice.

Cal,

I cannot find a place to change this in the account settings. Do I have to
start over with the account? I think you are right that I may have selected
bond. Is there a way to change that in the account settings?

What you probably did is to set up a bond mutual fund as a bond
rather than as a mutual fund. Try changing the security to a mutual
fund in the fund details.

I am updating a 401(k) account with manula entry.
All of my contributions are in, and I am updating the purchases.

When I put the amount of shares as 5.4952 and the price as 4.14, Money
returns a calculated value of .23. The correct value should be 22.75. I can
adjust by moving either decimal 2 places, but that would be innaccurate. I
even tried loading the trial version of Money Deluxe and the calculation
error persists.

I have two other 401(k) accounts that do not have this calculation error.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to fix this error? I don't want to
delete the account and start over if I do not have to, but I want to get the
account updated correctly.
