Merger of same mutual fund to a different class

I think the Corporate Acquisition transaction is the most frequently used "solution" in this situation. It is probably not an ideal solution, but I think it usually works.

But since it too, like the Stock Split transaction, requires giving Quicken a ratio to use to compute the number of new shares you'll have; it too may not get the number of new shares exactly correct (though I think you should be free to experiment with the ratio to see if you can find one that will create the correct number of new shares - 1000.000/999.991, for example). If no ratio produces the exact number of new shares correctly, I don't see why you can't just enter an "adjustment" (an Add Shares, or Remove Shares) to get the share balance correct.

Thanks John - I'll give that a try - I was thinking about the adjustment as well. Appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of the little summer we have left.

It seems to me that if you don't use Q to calculate cost basis but only to have a share price history then the simplest thing is to just do a remove shares transactions and an add shares transaction. I don't think these sort of transactions affect the price history.

Good point - along with some prominent comments indicating it was a repurchase of essentially the same security to keep my records straight, but indeed work. Thanks Tom.
