transfering roth IRA accts to different financial institution

I currently have several Roth IRAs at ING Direct. I have transfered my funds
(in real life) to T Rowe Price. There are no fees or transaction costs. How
do I perform this action in Money 2004 Premium? I've tried the Transfer Out
option, but that seems to just transfer straight share quantities and not
total value of that account. Please advise.

If you have the T Rowe Price as an investment account, and if you
track the cash transactions, transfer the money (under SPECIAL at
the bottom of the drop-down list) from the ING Direct to T Rowe
Price (cash). Then in the Investment transactions for T Rowe Price,
enter a Buy for each fund you bought. If you put all of the money
into a particular fund, the Buy would be for the amount transferred.

If you don't have a cash transaction register for T Rowe Price, I
suggest you enable that.

Transfer out would be where actual shares are being transferred. You
are transferring the cash.

"seems to just transfer straight share quantities and not total value of

And that's bad why? Is there a cash account with a cash position? Transfer
the cash. Other wise, I'd think this is what you want. The shares are, after
all, what you are transferring, no? If you sold the investments and
transferred cash, then do the same thing in Money. Sell the investments in
the ING account and then transfer the cash to the TRP account and then buy
new investments in the TRP account.

Will my gains and losses be retained using this method? Ideally, I'd like to
track my gains for the rest of my life :)

The gains will be kept independently, but they will be kept. You can
make customized reports to include just the IRAs, if you like.

I guess that would be better than tracking your losses for the rest of your
life.

ok, i've gone back and tried a couple different ways to record thi
transaction. i'm almost there, but can't seem to get it to work. i'l
explain my situation a little more in depth

I have three accts with ING and several with T Rowe Price. I took IN
(1) and ING (2) and Transferred Out to ING (3). That all worked fine
Microsoft Money took the shares and transferred on the date specifie
and the dollar value of the transaction is correct. I'm trying now t
transfer ING (3) funds to a single T Rowe fund. As I have it set up
my T Rowe account has several Roth IRA mutual funds encompassed i
the general account. Therefore, I cannot simply transfer my accoun
to T Rowe Price. What I find happens when I try this is that it wil
transfer my total ING (3) fund over to the general T Rowe portfolio
What I want it to do is transfer to T Rowe and allow me to designat
which of my mutual funds to put it in. I've looked through all th
transfer options and record special activity options, but nothin
seems to do the trick. Please help. I guess the simple solution t
end up with the correct dollar value is to record a sale and the
reinvest, but by doing that I will lose performance data I believe

It is also an accurate description of what is really happening. You
Sell one fund. You transfer cash. You Buy another.

You will have the performance data separately for the separate
funds.
