Please log in for more thread options What I'd like to accomplish is to see, in the Investment Center of
Quicken, results sorted into categories such as "Investment", "IRA",
"Roth IRA", "Keogh", "Tax Free", "Other Retirement", etc.
I had tried to use "Investment Goal" as the variable that would make
this categorization, but moving some of FLPSX from an IRA to a Roth
IRA lost the ability, as Investment Goal is, as John points out, tied
to the stock, not to the account.
Is there some way to categorize ACCOUNTS so the Investment Center can
sort results into the kinds of account categories I noted above?
