Hi - yes you are quite right of course - I was referencing copies of my intended subportolios without realising it & ther were not set up with default accountsNow it all works as it should - thanks!
 : : Hi - I also am finding under beta 4 that my cash account is not updating when making a trade.: : This may be because I normally use a master portfolio with seperate sub portfolios for shares from Australia & New Zealand currencies.  Because it spans two currencies the master portfolio can not logically be assigned a default cash account in its own right.
 : : Should not the currency of any new trade entered while viewing the master portfollio automatcally invoke the cash account corresponding to the subportolio set in that currency? : : The appropriate sub portfolio should also automatically be allocated the new holding details according to currency.
 : :
 : : If not, this is a prettty important feature to add - All multiple currency portfolios will be similarly set up, and currently it seems user is forced to switch to sub portfolio views individually evert time they make a trade, then back again to see the overall picture.
 : :
 : : I hope fairly easy to impliment?
 : : Cheers : : Paul King : Hi Paul, : Each portfolio, whether it is a sub-portfolio, or a top level portfolio: can be assigned its own default cash account.  Whenever you record
 : a transaction in an investment, Fund Manager looks to see if there is
 : a default cash account assigned for the sub-portfolio that this investment
 : belongs in.  If there is, then the corresponding entry is automatically
 : made in that cash account.  This seems to give the maximum flexibility.
 : Do you have a default cash account assigned to your sub-portfolios?: If you do, and you are able to record a transaction and not see it show
 : up in the assigned default cash account, please let me know.  You can
 : use the new Portfolio Editor to check the properties of each sub-portfolio,
 : that is where the default cash account is assigned.
 : Thanks,: Mark
