Hi,

I 'd like to record the exchange of $ from one of my Roth IRA mutual funds
to another
Roth IRA mutual fund, within the same fund family.

Money 2005 dosen't seem to have an exchange option, so I tried to set it up
as a transfer.
But Money thinks I'm moving from an account, not a mutual fund.

Anyone know how I can work this? Both funds are in the same account.

Thanks,

Gary

So, you have on Roth IRA account, you had one Investment and now you want to
exchange that for another? Do a Sell, then a Buy.

I tried again, but when I put in the sell, Money is asking for a transfer
account, when what I really want is an investment.

How do I get Money to understand this?

Thanks,

Gary

Money is following what happens in most investment accounts. I agree
that with a 401K you do not have a cash account that is listed, but you
really are selling one investment, putting the cash into a cash account
that you do not have access to, and then buying the second investment. I
even use a cash account to accumulate my and my employers shares which
are then used to buy the investments.

Your only choice since money does not allow a barter or trade of
investments is to sell, place the money in the cash account, and then buy.

As Art notes, Money wants a place to stash the cash for the moment before
you enter your Buy transaction. So, create a cash account associated with
the investment account. Go to the Investment Account Details and there you
should see a place to create the cash account. It's not as well hidden in
M05, IIRC, as in previous versions.
