    Hello,

    In the Portfolio Manager page, when I click New under a particular investment in order to add a transaction, I now have fewer choices under Activity that I always have before. In particular, I would like to use Reinvest Long-Term Capital Gains or Reinvest Short-Term Capital Gains, but they no longer appear. Have I inadvertently clicked on something that removed those options?

    I should add that I am running Microsoft Money Plus Deluxe Sunset ver. 17.0.120.3817.

    Thank you.

    The Activity choices are determined by the type of investment.  Those options show up for me for mutual funds for instance but not for my bonds.

    A bond fund should be set up as a mutual fund and not as a bond. Bond should only be used for an actual single bond issue.

    I just used bonds as an example.   I actually use bonds to track my brokered CDs, which of course wouldn't have capital gains anyways.

    All,

    I think I've figured this out, with help from your clues. The investments I was looking to add capital gains reinvestments to are exchange-traded funds, so I initially classified them as stocks. That would explain why reinvesting capital gains is not given as an option.

    Now for the next question; should I have set up ETFs as stocks? And, if not, is there any way to reclassify them as mutual funds?

    I would figure to set up an ETF as a stock, but if you are being issued a capital gains distribution, that would be a reason to make it to be a Mutual Fund. In Money Plus you can go to the Investment Details for a stock and change the Investment Type to Mutual Fund as long as you have not entered a transaction or done something that is not allowed for a Mutual Fund.

    To get to Details, right-click any reference to the security, and choose Go To Investment and the click Details on the left.
