Earmark Funds within an Account

I would like to earmark funds within an account for a
specific purpose. For example, I received some birthday
money and deposited it into my savings account before I
started using MS Money. Suppose my total savings account
balance is $1,000, $200 of which is my birthday money.

Is there any feature that would breakdown my savings
account total into the various earmarked funds (ie
birthday money)?

Then when I purchase something, I would like Money to
deduct the purchase from the earmarked fund.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
