market value graph is wrong Phil Schuman 09-11-2006

running Q2004 and noticed tonight that some of the stocks
have their market value graphs in Security Detail View are way off...
ie - click on the stock name and Q2004 brings up the internal page
called Security Detail View -
I can't figure out what's wrong on some of these....
Some splits are ok, some are not - some newer some older, etc...
The graph is way high compared to the text info on the left side.
any ideas what to look for ?

just as a followup - after going thru all the stocks and looking at each
Detail view,
it seems that the scale is off....
I mean resting the cursor changes to the + on the peaks close to the grid
lines,
and the value displayed is one entire scale range off.
ie - the + shows $22k, and the horizontal scale grid line shows $21k ?

ok - this is weird -
I took my EA and EMC securities,
and experimented with them both again.
The experiments had the same results...

EMC - single account,
and only has 2 entries: the BOT & the split - no Divx recorded.

If I edit the split entry for a 1:1 (non-split),
the text screen shows 100sh @ $11.68 = $1168
and the graph is correct showing $1168 at the far end of the line.

If I edit the split entry for the 2:1 split,
the text screen shows 200sh @ $11.68 = $2336
and the graph now shows $4843 at the far end of the line !!!

I can't see any logic that would result in the graph of $4843...
Tried with maybe 300sh x ?? or other various error combos,
but can't see the logic of what might be happening.
This is very weird -

Why don't you try deleting the original transaction and
re-entering it?

OR, since the OP states that there's only 2 transactions ... delete
them both & re-enter.
