When I get that choice, existing non-deleted investments are
included in the list.

After downloading account statements from brokers, Money
consistently (always) prompts with a dialog that says:
The two choices presented are:
(1)This investment is already in my investment
portfolio...
(2)Add this as a new investment...
Choice (1) offers a pick list which always and only lists
names of DELETED investments, never the names of any
CURRENT investments. The actual investment (in this
example, ABC) is never on the list offered. Selecting
option (2) causes duplicate shares to be added to the
account, e.g.: I already have 3000 shares of A Big
Company, now I have 6000 shares: 3000 under the original,
correct name (A Big Company) which was not available from
the pick list offered, and 3000 more listed under the
downloaded symbol ABC, but not associated with the correct
name of the existing investment. This occurs not just for
ABC, used in the example, but for many, many investments,
whenever the investment name varys from the 'canned'
version. This problem is especially obnoxious for me, and
anyone else, who holds the same investment in more than
one account, since the individual brokers inevitabley
report the investment names differently. The inability
to 'share' ticker symbols prevents correct pricing, in
addition to the aggravation of being forced to delete the
doubled shares in every account, for every investment
incorrectly matched.

Help???
