Greets,

I download my Merrill Lynch accounts directly into Quicken via 1 step
update. Occasionally, funds change from Class B to Class A, or Class A
to Class 1, and I do not really know about it until the download occurs.

The problem is that Quicken pops up a box on such an exchange
transaction asking what stock "XXXXXXX" is. You cannot cancel or
otherwise abort; you MUST make a selection ... in the dark.

I have, in the past, made selections to what I thought was the stock,
but it turned out that I simply selected the original holding. Now each
time Quicken does a 1 step update, it tells me that I have 0 when I
should have 200, and that I have 200 when I should have 0.

Does anyone know how to remove the association Quicken makes between the
information downloaded from a broker and the stock you hold in your
portfolio? The error message (which, by the way, is trying to force me
to make an adjustment; which will result in an incorrect basis) is VERY
annoying.

Thanks!

John - The box for "MATCHED WITH ONLINE SECURITY" is already unchecked
*AND* grayed out (I am on Q2010). Any other ideas as to how to correct?
