Please log in for more thread options Thanks RC
BTW, I am using Q h&b 2007. It doesn't seem to be a rounding problem. All
my Q entries are made on an a mostly daily basis by updates from the
brokerages. I checked all the entries in question - the only ones that were
from this year and tried to edit the entries but the price per share came
out exactly the same. I also notice with mutual funds where there are many
fractional entries, the shares are shown as exact. The FRO is shown as
zero. When I tried to enter a present day sell 'all'. Strangely enough it
wants to sell 500 shares!!!. When I go thru with that - lo and behold, I
end up with - 500 shares in the summary! I am confused.
I also tried John's suggestion but I did not have show closed lots checked.
When I did check it to see what would happen, nothing changed except a bunch
more previous trades showed up greyed out.
Thanks much for the help - any other suggestions :(
