FYI, changing the view from basic to performance gave me some of the
information that I wanted.

steps first would not hurt.

If online services are available to you, great. If not, you will
have to enter data manually with what you have.

"the" KB instructions???

I think the thing to do is to try to set up the account for online
access.

To see if my bank can track the 401K like an ordinary investment account,
should I follow the KB instructions.

Thanks again,
Shawn

How well Money shows the individual holdings varies with the
financial institution and how things are set up. For some you can
set up for online access and get data just like for an ordinary
investment account. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the
majority. For many 401K accounts, all the customer knows is value
each quarter. If there is no publicly available symbol for each of
the holdings, Money will not be displaying daily changes in value.
If they don't tell you how many shares you hold, you will not be
able to accurately track things. And even if they provide the data,
the download may not be automated.

Sometimes the 401k will hold a fund with the same name as that for a
fund that is publicly traded, but you get the "advisor" version that
comes with extra fees.

I setup a 401k account in Money this month. When I did the online update
everything was in sync initially. Last night my monthly contribution was
posted to the 401K account. I did an online update of the account this
morning and the balance was wrong. I also noticed that some history was
missing, my dividends did show up. Also, I have Money splitting a part of my
paycheck into the 401K account and that transfer was not visible in the 401K
account.

I'm looking for some help getting the 401K account setup correctly so I can
track how it is doing? Just having the balance is not what I want. I thought
there was a feature included that would do that. I'm using version 2004.

Thank you,
Shawn
