Mutual Funds / Accounts

I've been using Quicken for about 12 years now, and I think I've been a bit sloppy in ways that are now causing me problems.



I have ten mutual funds in three accounts, but I've set each mutual fund up as a distinct account. I now want to download transactions, but I don't think quicken is very tolerant of how I have things set up.



I assume I have to generate the three new accounts, then transfer all the data from each of my current single mutual fund bogus accounts into the appropriate new account. Is this correct?



If so, how do I do it? I'm using 2005 Premier.



Thanks

In order to download transactions, your Quicken accounts have to mirror your actual investment accounts. So, you're correct, you have to set up three Quicken accounts with the proper funds in them.

One easy way is to enter transactions for Shares Transferred Between Accounts.

Thanks, but I'm not sure that I understand this. Will all the historical data still be in the old bogus accounts? If so, is there some way of transferring the historical data also?
