Well QW-Basic 99 was a looooong time ago as you realize, but as best I recall ...
If your account only has transactions involving the one mutual fund and never has a value in the cash balance column, you can edit the account details. There you should find a yes/no option to declare the account to be a SMF account.
If somewhere you do have a cash balance value (maybe from a dividend received), you need to edit those transactions to redirect the cash to go to (or come from) a different account. If it is coming from a different source, you may need to change a cash-in and a Buy, to a BuyX transaction.
Hope this helps

There was never a cash balance. This was showing a share balance, and was working fine until a few days ago and I'm not sure what I did to make it change to a cash balance. I did see that under the edit account there is a place to change to a SMF but it isn't highlighted, so I can't check the box. Thanks for the help.

That then suggests that you have a second security that has been used in the account. A change of class for a mutual fund (class A to B or Investor to Admiral) counts as a different security.

I'm not sure how that would happen. It isn't connected to online accounts, all the transactions I manually input myself.

I copied all the transactions from the investment account that had the cash balance, into a new account set up with a SMF and the share balance was working. I'm just confused to what I did to cause it to change to cash balance in the first place. Thanks for the help.
