: : I have two portfolios containing the same fund in different amounts. How does one keep the fund shares separated? When I added this fund to the second portfolio it corrupted the rist portfolio's data.

Hi Dan,

To track the same investment with different transaction histories, create a
new investment file (select "File/New Investment...") for each account holding
the same fund or stock. This will allow you to record different transactions for
each account. Each investment will have the same ticker symbol, but you will
assign them unique filenames. For example, you can track two accounts holding
IBM by creating 2 investments, both could be named IBM (or you could call them
IBM1 and IBM2, or whatever you prefer). Both investments would have
the ticker symbol IBM, but then the filenames would be IBM1.dat and IBM2.dat.
(You could even let them have the same filename if you wanted, but you would
need to store them in separate folders then.)

Thanks,
Mark
