I had a situation about 3 months ago where I purchased a mutual fund that I
already owned in a second account. When the account download occurred the
"name" was different from the one I had been calling the fund. Thus I
managed to enter the fund for a second time. I decided to clean up my old
name by renaming the fund the same as the new name but found I could not
because the name was already in use. Since very few transactions were
involved I then decided to simply go through all of the transactions and
manually re-enter them using the other name for the same mutual fund.
Following this I then deleted the original second name for the fund.

I now find that every time I download information concerning the account I
get a screen that says that the download does not agree with what is in the
account. It wants to zero out number of shares in the mutual fund. I
actually tried this once but it did not then add the shares using the old
name. The only way I can keep it balanced is by cancelling the offer to add
the placeholders. I have tried cancelling online services and then adding
them back with no success.

I have the backups so that I could go back to before it happened but at this
point I do not relish going back 3 months.

How does one break the relationship between the downloaded mutual fund name
and quicken account name to allow a re-set?

Thanks

Uncheck the box, "Matched with online security".


If you then go to the Online Center, select the Financial Institution and
account in question, click the "Holdings" tab, then click "Compare to
Portfolio", you should get the chance to re-match the names.

[You may need to "unmatch" both security names in the Security List. And
you may need to "Compare to Portfolio" for both accounts.]
