: : : I recently migrated from FM3.4 to FM4. When I start the
: : : program and I am looking at the gray screen, I have the
: : : option to open an investment or a portfolio. With 3.4
: : : when I clicked either of those options it took me to
: : : the "my data" folder and I made my selection. Now when
: : : I select open investment or open portfolio, it takes me
: : : to Look in .... Desktop. At that point I have to drill
: : : down to the proper drive, proper program, folder etc,
: : : until I get to "my data" where I can select what I
: : : need. What am I doing wrong?????? : : Does this always happen? I've had a couple other reports of this same problem, but haven't been able to reproduce it myself so far. : : Of course, the last
: : folder you opened something from is suppose to be set as the default for the next time you want to
: : open something. If you notice anything that could

Mark:
Strange things a happening. Opening FM first time
this morning and Ihave to go thru the drill down
routine to Look in ...My desktop.
Check your post, and after getting to an investment
registry key is "D:\finance\my data" ...the way it
should be. Try to duplicate by a reboot ..no luck
it now opened where it should "my data"
However. I did duplicate it by doing this: I opened
a stock (SBH), put a moving average overlay on the
share price - (I even changed the default weeks in
the moving avg if that should matter). I then
closed that stock using close all. Clicking on the
open portfolio icon it takes me back to Look in..
Desktop and forces me to drill down.
At this point registry lastaccess key changed to
"D:\finance\my data\SBH" but it obviously didn't
reopen there or to the complete list of investments.
Hope this helps you uncover what may be wrong.
