True. Your resetting mechanism would be File-> Restore. However I am
not confident that this would solve things for the day trades tho.
It may differ with which broker you use. I don't know.

I have questions about this too. If I update accounts from my broker less
than 24 hours after placing a buy/sell trade, Microsoft Money will see the
change in shares owned in the account and will prompt to "Add Shares" or
"Remove Shares".

This is not the case if you wait 24 hours or more (in that case, full
buy/sell transaction details are downloaded).

I can remove these "Add Shares" or "Remove Shares" transactions once the
transaction details are available for downloading a day later, but the
problem is, after doing this Microsoft Money will no longer download the
buy/sell transaction details after prompting to "Add Shares".

Is there any way to reset Microsoft Money after something like this happens,
so that Microsoft Money will recognize the transaction has not been
downloaded yet, allowing it to download full transaction details? The
program seems to treat the transaction as "already downloaded" after going
through the "Add Shares" prompt and disregards downloading transaction
details that become available afterwards.

I realize the obvious solution is to wait at least 24 hours after making a
buy/sell, but sometimes accidents happen or other accounts need to be updated
sooner.

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your time & response. Microsoft has made this to painful a
process to bother with. Enjoy your day!

In my first reply, I somehow had missed the day-trade aspect, which
was the central point in your post. You will need to enter the Buy
transactions manually first, before processing the downloaded
statement. There is no setting to order the downloaded Buys for the
day before the Sells. This is the way it is. :-(

Your other workaround would be to let the AddShares be generated,
and the Delete the AddShares.

This would be caused by the FI updating the holdings info at a
different time than it adds the transactions to the statement
download. This would be a quirk of a given FI. I suggest you work
around it by

1. Get in the habit of changing the radio button about whether Money
should update the positions. Unfortunately there is no setting to
change the default.

2. Update at a time when your FI's servers are not in flux. In
particular, avoid the time between midnight your time, and midnight
at your FI. Add an extra hour maybe too. If you update in the
morning, that should allow a lot of time for things to settle. This
might require turning off background banking. In Money Plus, you can
do this at On Tools-> InternetUpdates-> CustomizeUpdates; there is a
UseAutomatedUpdates checkbox to control Automated Online Updates.

Thanks in advance for help with this! I'm using Money 2007 Home & Business.

When importing my daily statement of buys & sells, Money will add shares
before it realizes I bought shares in an attempt to balance.

The message reads: Note: Because you have only 0 shares available, Money
assumes you want to add shares to your account register. Money will add X
shares to offset the X shares being removed.

When finished I have to manually remove all the additional transactions
Money added so that I have an accurate balance.

There is no option to avoid this (that I can find). Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
