 I using Q07 deluxe.
I have just made several changes to my portfolio by transferring assists
from one fund to new funds and now I have several accounts with zero
balances. I want to keep the old accounts in quicken for their history. I
can't find how to handle these accounts in managing your accounts. If I hide
the account in quicken it affects my net worth charts on the home page. If I
use hide in navigation the net worth data is OK but the accounts still show
up in the investment account activity the home page. Any suggestions....

Dick:
=46rom what I understand, you have closed out these accounts, selling
your mutual funds to cash (money market) positions. You then
transferred your cash to another account, leaving a zero balance in
the old account(s).

I have chosen to "hide account" as you did, and this did not affect my
net worth bar graph. I don't think I have two options to hide an
account, but I am using the Macintosh version of Quicken 2007 Deluxe,
so perhaps that differs from the PC version.

Sorry I can't hep more. I'm away from home and can't access my file.
Best of luck solving your situation.

Are you using "Single Mutual Fund" accounts, where there can only be a
singe security EVER in the account?

If so, WHY? Some fund companies require it for download access into
Q. There's really not much other reason to do so.

If you're NOT using SMFs, why not just buy the new security in the
existing account?

In which case, the SIMPLE process is:
1) disconnect the existing account from download
2) edit the account features as needed
3) re-enable download.

The above works if the cost basis of the positions hasn't changed,
(i.e., if only the legal ownership changed).
