How to fix missing cost basis for mutual funds

I have 2 mutual fund accounts where the investment firm upgraded the account and gave me new accounts. I created the new accounts in Quicken and moved the transactions from the old accounts. Everything seemed to come over, but the cost basis in the holdings view show up as $0. I ran the repair to rebuild lots, but it didn't fix the cost basis not showing up. When I go into a couple transactions where I purchased the mutual funds, everything seems to be fine. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Please explain what you mean by upgraded the account and gave you new accounts.
If Account A became Account B, all you may have needed to do is update the association of register in Quicken from Account A to Account B. You may want to review: https://www.quicken.com/support/deactivate-online-banking-services-quicken-account
What I suspect happened is when you created the new accounts in Quicken, Quicken added placeholder transactions in the new accounts. I suggest you delete these placeholders transactions. You may want to review: Quicken FAQ: Managing Placeholder Entries in Quicken for Windows1 -
You describe the situation about the upgrading of accounts. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your suggestion. I didn't see the placeholders when I was looking, but voiding them out appears to have fixed my issue. Thanks again!0
