The information in this article applies to:

 == MSN MoneyCentral == 

= SYMPTOMS =

After you import an account from your broker into MSN Investor, the cash balance or Money Market account calculations may be incorrect.

= CAUSE =

This issue can occur if the broker exports a Money Market account to a Sweep Account and sends the transaction details.

A Sweep Account balance is converted into the cash balance in Investor. Investor does not receive complete historical data, so it creates a transaction to adjust the balance.

= WORKAROUND =

To work around this problem, change the downloaded transaction in Investor to a Buy or Sell transaction and then import the data from your broker again. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Portfolio Manager, double-click the investment that you want to change.
 * 2) On the Transactions tab, click the transaction you want, and then click Edit.
 * 3) In the Activity box, click Buy or Sell, click OK, and then click OK. Repeat steps 2-3 for each transaction you want to change.
 * 4) In Portfolio Manager, click Update Imported Brokerage Data on the File menu.
