Steve,

You are right. In all eight new accounts were created. A pair of
cash and investment accounts for each Janus mutual fund holding.

At the moment, I don't like this way of accounting because I still
think of Janus as holding my portfolio in one account. Maybe in time
I will find a way to seamlessly accept it into my way of thinking.

Thanks for your answer.

Sanjay

I had the same issue with Oppenheimer. Unfortunately, there is nothing you
can do except either enter in the transactions manually or leave them as
four different accounts in your portfolio.

The short answer, which you won't like, is that you can't do that. Janus
is in control of the account numbers. Money just creates accounts to
mirror what Janus does. This is actually a good thing. I expect that
Janus will show them as separate accounts on your statement.

Some options:
* Create a custom report that summarizes your Janus holdings.
* Enter the data manually instead of downloading. You can do things any
way you want. (You'll spend lots of time.)
* Manually download the data file from Janus (if they let you), then
edit the file to have the account numbers you want before loading it
into Money. (You'll make mistakes and spend lots of time.)

Did they create a cash account for each investment account? I would have
expected to see eight "accounts" created, counting both the cash and
investment halves.

I just came across this annoying behavior.

I recently purchased 4 Janus mutual funds and enabled MS Money to
download the transactions directly from Janus.

I expected the transactions to download into a single MS Money
account. Instead they downloaded into 5 new Janus accounts in MS
Money. Within Janus, each mutual fund holding seems to have its own
account number. For example, my Janus Money Market fund has account
number 11111111. Suppose I purchased Janus Growth and Income Fund.
That holding is assigned account number 37,11111111. Suppose I also
purchased Janus Risk-Managed Fund. Its holding is assigned account
number 23,11111111. So the basic scheme is to prefix the base account
number with a 2 digit number.

Upon downloading into MS Money, an account was created for the Money
Market fund and 4 more accounts, one for each of the new holdings.

I tried the Merge Accounts command, but none of these accounts appears
in the list.

How can all of these transactions be downloaded into just one MS Money
account?
Thanks,

Sanjay
