: Thanks for the reply Mark.

: I set everything to display out to 6 significant digits and my account balance (both shares & $) show 0.000000 but the account still shows up in the pie chart. Any other thoughts?

: : : Problem 2
: : : Also, I changed my cash management account so my old CMT account has a balance of $0 and is hidden and my new CMT account is set up as my default. However, my old CMT account still shows up in the legend of the Portfolio Value Pie Chart with a 0% value. Is there anyway to get rid of this?

: : #2: Make sure your share balance is really 0, all the way out to 6 significant
: : digits. Under "Options/Preferences.../Display" set the Share Digits to 6. Then
: : use "Edit/All Data..." to make sure your share balance is really 0. If it
: : is 0.0001 for example, it will get a slice of the pie chart.

: : To prevent rounding errors see this from the online help:

: : Recording Transactions Without Rounding Errors
: : Often there can be small rounding errors on your transaction summary statement, as provided by your fund company. Improperly recorded, this can lead to small differences between the share balances reported by Fund Manager and your statements. To prevent rounding errors, record the Value and Shares fields in Fund Manager as displayed on your fund statement. Then, press the Tab key to move the input focus to the Price field. Fund Manager will automatically adjust the Price field to be consistent with the Value and Shares. This method records the Value and Shares as displayed on your statement. If there are rounding errors on your statement, the Price recorded by Fund Manager will be adjusted to the correct price (consistent with the Value and Shares). Fund Manager always ensures that Value = Shares * Price.
: : You can move the input focus around on a dialog box by pressing the Tab key on your keyboard. The order that the focus moves around on a dialog box is referred to as the "tab order". The transaction dialogs in Fund Manager have their tab order set to facilitate this recording method. The tab order in transaction dialogs moves from the Value, to the Shares, and then to the Price controls.

Hi Scott,

This is one of the items we improved on in 6.0, so I'd suggest trying it out
on that version. FM 6.0 will be available for beta testing later today I
expect. There will be an announcement posted on this message board once it
is available.

Thanks,
Mark
