Update.

Well it has to be something with that one account. I started a new
account with nothing in it, added transactions without a problem. Try
it again in the other account and get the same thing.

UPDATE 2, call me something, idiot comes to mind, deleted transactions
again and re-enter and now its working.

Thanks for you help

Sorry I forgot to suggest that. You would be surprised how many
times deleting an investment account transaction and re-entering
it will "solve" a problem.
