Unidentified security

Aug 28, 2013 1 Replies

I moved some money from a taxable account into a tax-free account at Fidelity.



IThe tax-free fund I opened was the Fidelity Ohio Minicipal Money Mkt symbol FOMXX. When I tried to add the security to the Securities list by entering the symbol, Quicken 2013 Deluxe said there was no such symbol or company.



I went to Yahoo finance and did a search for the FOMXX and Yahoo gave me the correct fund name, so it exists.



Went back to Quicken, and went through the process of entering FOMXX and giving it a name, etc. OK now we're cooking.



Wait! I download the transactions from Fidelity and Quicken says there is an unidentified security in the download. Looking at the TX, it mathes with my Fidelity statement - a dividend reinvested in the FOMXX fund.



What is going on here? Where can I see the raw info Quicken has downloaded to see what is being sent? Do I need to add the FOMXX soewhere else?



Is there something odd about a money market fund? Or is Quicken's master security list out of date?

" ... Quicken says there is an unidentified security in the download".

I can't be certain about the wording; but often (usually?), the first time you download transactions for a security, Quicken wants to know whether it is a new Quicken security or an existing Quicken security. You respond by selecting "new" or "match" and never get asked again.
