There are bonds that are issued as "Class A" bonds (no sales commission).
Later on they become converted into "Class B" bonds. The name remains the
same otherwise.

What is the best way to enter this share exchange in Quicken? If I do a
remove (class A) transaction and an add transaction of the class B shares I
lose the cost bases history. Is there a better way to do this? Would a
corporate name change be better, even though that seems to convert the name
in the transactions prior to that date?

Jeff

Do you really need to distinguish the bonds in your records? Is there
any difference in how the bonds are priced or valued, or any tax
consequences? If so, or if you really want to record this event, you
could do a corporate acquisition. If not, a name change is easier.

Thanks. I do not personally need to distinguish them. It's the downloads
that shows them as different and because I am no expert in book-keeping I am
always afraid to do anything that might be "wrong". What I have done is to
just rename them (name change) as you suggested. Wanted some reassurance
that I was not doing a book-keeping no-no from someone more knowledgeable
<grin>

Thanks for replying.
