I don't know Ameritrade or how they handle the cash/sweep. There is,
however, more than one legitimate way for this to be handled.

What kind of transaction are you entering to make the correct cash
balance appear? Can you look at the web site and tell what is
missing in the download?

I think Vanguard download handles one of the accounts correctly.

Thanks for the info, bad news as it may be. I'm just not having good
luck with electronic access in general under Money it seems. I also
have an Ameritrade account. The stocks seem to work OK, but I have a
small cash balance which doesn't appear anywhere in the Ameritrade
acct unless I enter it manually also. Is this normal?

Looks like I might have to stick to manual entry for all my Vanguard
and Ameritrade accounts?! Maybe the others I have electronic access
currently enabled for, too, if they have problems going forward. Ugh.

I want to believe there must be something I am doing wrong, but I just
can't see what.

Vanguard has problems when using more than one account. See this
thread for some details.

Back in September, Sean posted this:

:this accounts are properly linked at vanguard. that is, i

:all three of these accounts in money are enabled for stmt

:when i go through the online setup wizard, after login and

:with the three accounts i already have set up in money.
:in other words, vanguard appears to be properly reporting

:but, only the first account(my ira) ever shows any

:however, if i login to vanguard from my browser and
:manually download the .ofx file to my hard disk and then
:double click it everything works the way its supposed to

:is this some subtle setup problem on my end? a vanguard

That post seems to be missing from Google groups, but here is the

Hi all, just purchased Money 2004 and have a few issues I'm hoping you
can help with. I have a few different accounts (Roth IRA, Rollover
IRA, individual investment acc't, etc) at Vanguard which I set up
manually. I did this because I was having trouble with the electronic
account setup. Once I manually entered the shares of each fund I
owned in the different accounts, everything worked great... until
today, when I did an internet update and found that 3 of my funds had
paid dividends on 1/30. The problem is that the dividends did not
show up in the correct account. Specifically, two of the funds are in
Account A, and one is in Account B, but all 3 of the dividends showed
up in Account C, even though I don't own those 3 funds in Account C.

Also, I got the message about my register not matching my online
statement and asking if I wanted to add them to the register.
However, this totally screws up my account balances that I had
manually set up as it seems to add a bunch of funds to the wrong
account, etc.

I hope that is clear and that someone can help me figure out what I
might be doing wrong. I suppose I could manually enter all
transactions going forward, but if I can get electronic access with
Vanguard working correctly, it would sure save a lot of trouble!
