: : : Hello Mark,

: : : I have a sub portfolio that gives a total approimately 4.8% higher than the actual. It also does it when you do a report on account value. Ever heard of such a thing??

: : Hi Bill,

: : An investment's value is determined by multiplying the number of shares owned times the market price. If the value is off, then one of these 2 pieces of data isn't correct. I'd suggest creating a Portfolio Value report, and you can see the price and shares for each investment, so you can determine why the whole account value is off.

: Hello Mark,

: All individual share prices, number of shares and values are correct. The sum total of the sub portfolio is incorrect, it is several thousand too high. All of my other portfolios are correct, maybe it is keeping a value of a fund that is no longer there??

Hello again Mark,

I finally found the error. A recent purchase in one account also showed up in this one, but it was hidden and didn't show in the report. How it got to one with a different file name is a mystery to me, but at least the problem is fixed!
