I am using Quicken 2007 Premier, but I had this same problem with
Quicken 2006 Deluxe.

When I download from Vanguard, Quicken wants to create duplicate place
holder entries, adding, and removing the same mutual funds with
identical names. For example:

Pacific Capital Small Cap Y - Shares in Quicken - 0, shares in Vanguard
123.456
Pacific Capital Small Cap Y - Shares in Quicken - 123.456, shares in
Vanguard - 0.

Any idea how to fix this, or why it is trying to add and remove
identical entries?

I don't have a solution but you are not alone. I have suffered with
the same problem. Looking forward to seeing if anyone has a solution.

If this is a 401K, look at the basis of the investment. Example -
After Tax Employee Contrbutions, Before Tax Employee Contributions,
etc.... Correct your history, do your new investments with the same
class and you should be find.

Hi Edward,

There is likely a button when you edit transaction called Cash Source.
My guess is that your transactions are Unidentified. Open up the
placeholder transaction and click on Cash Source and make your
transactions match the Placeholder.

Good luck!
