To get around it, normally decline Money's offer to adjust your
portfolio. This will require a change to the default on the radio
buttons each time it occurs. Yet you definitely want to check what
the cause of this is. Make a note of the StatementQuantity (what the
download said your holding was) and the AccountQuantity (what Money
thought your holding was). One of those two values differs from
reality.

You need to figure out which one differs, and figure out why. If you
go to and investment and choose InvestmentActivites, you will get a
list of transactions for that investment. Maybe you will have a
bogus AddShares from previously accepting an adjustment. This can
come from the broker having the statement position quantity a little
out of phase with the transaction. e.g., you bought Google. The
position data was updated but the transaction did not make it into
this download somehow. Money offers to AddShares (Update my
positions). You accept. Then later the Buy gets downloaded. So Money
will offer to RemoveShares (Update my positions). Or the thing could
be in the reverse order.

Consider getting into the habit of changing the radio buttons each
time the offer to "Update my positions" occurs. If the offer
continues a day later, seek out the discrepancy and deal with it.

I'm using Money Plus Deluxe version 17. When I download statements
from my brokers, On the 'Review Invesetment Activity' page, I'll get
these types of entries that Money wants to insert:

Remove Shares Google 100 $0.00
Remove Shares Microsoft 100 $0.00

The above doesn't make any sense. If I let Money do this, then
holdings are removed from my portfolio. Sometimes I'll see something
similar but it is adding shares instead. Rather than clicking Next
to accept those entries, I can just go back to the account list
page. The problem there is that valid entires will get back logged
until I accept these bogus entires.


Any one else experience this or know how to get around it?
