: Mark, I have tried, i believe, entering the distributions as you have described. it doesn't seem to work. in the report it shows 0 distributions. if i go back into the individual distribution it still asks me for the amount, defaulting to 0, and no distributions are shown in the view all data>dividends screen.

: i am using version 4.7.

Hi Jeffrey,

If you own 0 shares, the dollar "value" will be $0 for recorded distributions.
Some graphs, such as the "price & dist." graphs use the per share distribution
for plotting, but if you report how much distributions you received when you
owned 0 shares, it will be $0. For example, if a fund pays a $1/share dividend,
but you own 0 shares, that is still $0. For graphing of the "price & dist."
purposes though, the $1/share figure will be used.

Thanks,
Mark
