In Money Plus I can't figure out how to set up my Janus accounts using
"manage online services".
I have 3 Janus accounts which have about 10 different investments. During
the set-up, Janus comes back with the 10 investment numbers and asks me to
match them up with my 3 accounts. It won't let me use an account more than
once so I cannot match all 10. The root problem seems to be that Money
expects to see account numbers, but Janus transmits the individual investment
numbers. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to work around this?
Thanks.

You are not doing anything wrong, but you are not doing things the
same as the Janus downloads. What they appear to have done is to
send each fund as if it were a unique account. Money does not have a
mechanism to route two or more downloaded "accounts" to a single
account.

Vanguard used to have things set up that way -- with each fund
considered a different account. That paradigm is workable, but its a
little strange IMO.

So the deal would appear to be to let Money create the ten accounts,
or don't download from Janus. It appeared that you maybe have 3 of
the funds download to the three accounts, but to not have Money
download for the other seven; enter them by hand.

I suggest you be prepared to File->Restore a backup before
experimenting with this.

Money 2006, 2007, and Plus keep the most recent 4 backups by
default. I would increase that if you have plenty of disk space.
