Default Re: Transferring shares

Hello Dick,
I tried that, sort of, and it worked. It turns out I only have to enter a
dummy BUY trade in the account for the shares in question. It only has to be
a quantity of 1 share and it will then allow me to pick from the 2 lots on
offer to sell. I then pick the transferred in lot and everything works. I
then delete the dummy. Everything then looks ok. Just a bit of a workaround.
Is this a program fault?.
Another slightly off topic question - when I do a report of the portfolio
transactions, the trade price is only displayed to 2 decimal places eg
$0.13, and rounds any 3 decimal places share prices to 2 decimal places eg
$0.133 ends up $0.13. Is their a setting to change this?.
Thanks
Matt

Go to the Account List.

You could right-click on the existing account in the account list.
Money will show performance separately after the move.

I would prefer to just change the account details. Right-click See
Account Details. Change the Institution, Account Name, etc.

Taking the transaction history shouldn't matter--what should matter is what
Money thinks the share balance is in the receiving account. There may be
something else going on here.

Try creating a huge buy, dated before the transfer, in the receiving account
of the transfer. Like, say, 10,000,000 shares. Then try entering your sale.
Then try deleting the huge buy.

Default Transferring shares

I have changed my stock broker and want to transfer my share portfolio to my
new broker (account). How can I do this?. I have tried the account transfer
and the transfer out functions but they don't take the transaction details
across, so that when I try to sell the shares I get an error telling me I
don't have enough shares in the account to sell. I am using MS Money
international V2003. How can I transfer the share transaction completely so
I can then enter a sell transaction in the new account???
Thanks
Matt
