= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Money 3.0 does not support splitting mutual fund shares.

= WORKAROUND =

You can update your mutual funds using one of the following methods:

  Adjust each of your past mutual fund transactions. For example, if there was a 2 for 1 split on your mutual fund, you would need to double the quantity and split the price in half for each transaction that occurred before the date of the split.   Track the mutual fund as a stock because Money does support stock splits. NOTE: Using this method, you will be unable to enter long and short-term capital gain distributions for your fund because stocks do not incur these type of activities. 

This issue has been corrected in Microsoft Money 4.0 for Windows 95.
