: : : Mark:
: : : I'm trying to display and report FP Yields-which I understand to be returns as typically reported-including the reinvesment of distributions.
: : : At the moment I get different results between graph displays / Fund Performance Yield Reports and a Custom Report displaying FP Yields.
: : : I think my problem is I am unable from the toolbar to change the Yield preference from ROI to FP-Reinvested. No matter how many times I try to change it, it still comes up ROI. I did get it to change once and immediately saved the portfolio - but the next time I loaded FM it was back to ROI ???
: : : What do I need to do?? Thanks for any help

: : Hello Jim,
: : It should work just as you're describing. Change the yield type
: : for above the graphs under the "Yields" menu. Then, use "File/Save Portfolio"
: : to memorize this preference in your portfolio. The next time you open this
: : portfolio is will restore your yield preference.
: : Please give this another try, saving the yield preference. If you still
: : aren't successful, you can e-mail us the portfolio, and we can try to
: : reproduce this.

: Hello Mark,
: By trial and error, I discovered I could change the yield preference from ROI to FP-Reinvested by resetting from ROI to FP-distributed first and then to FP-reinvested. Multiple attempts would not reset preference directly from ROI to FP-Reinvested. OK, once I finally got the preference to FP-Reinvested I immediately saved the portfolio. Then I exited FM, and reloaded FM, Yield preference for the portfolio is back to ROI ??? Could my software be contaminated somehow. Is Version 5.2.307 OK ???

Hi Jim,
Sounds strange. Would you mind e-mailing me your portfolio, and data files
in this portfolio? I will try to reproduce it here.

Thanks,
Mark
