You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com  pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.

Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.

Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports

Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist

Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).

If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.

If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.

Thank you!

    Ok, I will continue to report any issues I experience here. The details of the current issue I am experiencing are below.

    If during the re-import process I put a checkmark to the left of an account that contains 850 stocks, it will not complete the import process and return a generic error to try again in a few minutes. Waiting a few minutes or hours has no effect but if I uncheck the account containing 850 stocks and try again, the re-import process is able to complete immediately and the other checked accounts are imported successfully.

    Earlier I was able to complete the re-import process with that account checked and it would at least import the first 50 of the 850 stocks so something changed today.

    I see that DavidT3955 posted that the new watchlists only support 70 securities so I suspect this may have something to do with my problem but it would be good to get confirmation on that limit and how the import process is supposed to proceed when it tries to import a account with more than 70.

    Your welcome, I see you edited your original post to indicate the MSN team has resolved the issue and there is no longer a note to report issues in this thread. Do you still want people to report issues in this thread or to create new ones? I ask as the problem has not been resolved for me as I am now unable to complete the reimport process when one of my larger accounts is selected - earlier today it at least imported the first 50 stocks in that account.

    You're right. I did remove the note about asking users to keep reporting issues on that thread. I have added this info to it again as I do want to have one main location to see whether the steps work or not.

    I'm sorry the issue has not been resolved for you yet. It must be really frustrating but I hear that the product team has been reviewing many comments including yours as they have helped them to identify some of the issues and hopefully the solution.

    I'll continue to monitor this forum to the best of my abilities.

    Thanks,

    Adriana
