I am looking in the Data Register and the transactions are not there but the end of month prices are.
Mark wrote:2) Did you maybe somehow exit without saving? If you don't have "Options / Save Investments on Exit" turned on, and you've made some changes you will be prompted if you want to save when you exit, if you haven't already manually saved using "File / Save All Investments".
I have Save on Exit selected, but I don't have the "Save Investments Every..." set (I didn't know about that one!).
Mark wrote:3) Are you opening up the same set of data files now, as you were updating previously?
Yes, I searched the computer for any other like-named files to be sure, and the month end prices are in the files that I am accessing. I reconciled the Portfolio Value report against my statements for each month so I know that both the prices and the transactions were in the same files at that time.

See "Options / General Preferences... / Data" for the location of your automatic backups.
I tried restoring the one automatic backup that was dated after my entries were made and the transactions were not there. The only thing that I can figure is that I did all my work without exiting FM and then I had some system problem (I sometimes get the "blue screen of death" on this computer). If this happened, would all the entries be lost? Aren't they saved in some sort of file while working, even if they're not in the actual investment data files?
Thanks again.
