Hello,

I try to remove a security, but I get the message "the security is in use". I tried running a investment transaction report, but these securities don't show up.

Typically the securities were created by auto importing and are not actual securities. One security is named is "0630" with no ticker symbol.

How do I find where the securities are in use?

Thanks,
Reed

   Hi Reed,

   How do I find where the securities are in use?

   Have you tried Tools > Accounts, from the Moneydance Menu Bar?

   That worked.  Thank you.
   I have a second question:
   I am using the following for interest earned in an investment account:Action = DivReinvest
   Description = Reinvested Interest MM Fund
   Security = MM Fund
   Category = Investment: Interest Received
   Shares = .04
   Price = 1
   Amount = .04

   I get an error when automatically updating quotes.  How do I stop getting the error?
   Regards,Reed

   Hi Reed,

   From the Moneydance menu bar, go to Extensions > Quotes and Exchange Rates
   In the resulting window, locate and de-select the Money Market Fund.

   Since the par value of MM funds is a constant $1.00, there is no reason to update the price.

   Thank you.  That was pretty obvious.  Thanks for your patience.
