: Thanks, Mark and R. Hubbard. As you suggested, the start date was my problem, that and a failure to distinguish between "beginning" and "inception" information on the list of fields I can choose from. In fact, I wanted inception information, not beginning information. Oddly, I may have found a different problem here. I chose to report both "Investment inception date" and Price inception date" from the list. The headings that came up on the report were "Inv incptn" and "NAV incptn" respectively, but under both headings the same value listed, the investment inception date. Doesn't the NAV heading imply a price rather than a date? Anyhow, I wanted inception price.

Bill,
Yes, the NAV inception reports the date of your
first recorded closing price. You can verify
this under "Edit/All Data..." with the "Prices"
data type selected.

Thanks,
Mark
