You haven't provided much to go on. What are your goals? What
have you tried, or contemplated?

There are several ways to handle mm funds that depend on your
desires and what the fi offers.

Is the fund a sweep fund for a brokerage account? Or a bank
account tied to mm fund rates? Do you care if your Quicken
transactions/holdings match your real-world
transactions/holdings exactly? Do you expect to do a lot of
check writing from the fund, or only the occasional check now
and then? Do you download transactions for the mm fund or enter
them manually? Does the fund offer online billpay, and do you
intend to take advantage of that? Do you expect to need to
"schedule" transactions to be paid from the mm fund?

John, The Fund is not a sweep fund for a brokerage account. It's a Janus
standard Money Market fund with check writing. I also have several other
funds with Janus and I do want the Quicken transaction/ holdings to match
the real-world. I only intend to write checks occasionally. I do download
transactions. I do not want to use online billpay or "schedule" transactions
from the fund. The MM fund is a place I keep easy access cash.
I have tried to set up the fund as asset fund and my real problem is how do
I make it allow check writing.
Dick

You will have to set it up as either a security in an investment
account (investment accounts have check writing capability), or
as a checking account; which one depends on Janus (you must use
the same account type that Janus sends in the download).

You can't use an Asset account; not only do they not have the
ability to handle checks, but you can't download to them.
