A problem you may run into later:

Money Plus appears to automatically delete options one month after the
expiration date. The transactions will still be in your investment
registers, but the option and the price history will disappear, which will
make it disappear from your portfolio and most of your reports. Someone had
posted about this some months ago, but it took another month for the problem
to appear in my portfolio.

I'm presently working around this by blanking out the expiration date.
Although an expiration date is required when first entering an option in
Money, it can later be blanked out by rightclicking the option in the
portfolio and selecting "Investment Details".

I entered a test "Buy to Open" followed by a test "Exercise", and everything
appeared to work properly with the expiration date blanked out.

Cal,

I appreciate your help, but I did identify the version as Money Plus HB

When you look at the Details for the Call investment, does it show
an expiration date of 09/20/08? See below.

When you ask about options, you want to identify the version of
Money. That way, if somebody wanted to try to replicate your
problem, they could know if their version matched yours. I was
unable to replicate your problem.

I found out the problem. I double checked the details screen and it showed
the expiration date incorrectly. Once I fixed the expiration date to
9/20/08, it all works.

Thanks for your suggestions.

The call that I bought is shown as "sell to open" and then when I try to show
the excersize of the call I show it exercize and everyhting looks right
except it wont allow me to put in a date that is acceptable. The symbol for
the call is ".jpmih"

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Did you start the option as a SellToOpen transaction of a listed
option?

Did you check the list for Exercised or whatever the transaction
type is called?

Sure. When you ask about options, you want to identify the version
of Money.

I ventured into my first stock option and now it has been excersized.

I bought a call on JPM which expired on 9/20/08. The call was excersized
because the stock was above the strike price. When I try to enter the
information into Money Plus HB, it telle me to enter a date between 9/10/2008
and 11/30/1999. Which of course does not make any sense but even if I change
the date to within that period I still get the same response about the date.

As a work around, I did it as 2 transactions - 1 to sell the shares and the
other to have the options expire but I would prefer to show it correctly as
one transaction.

Would appreciate any guidance you might be able to offer.
