: Hi Mark,

: When scrolling through investments in the Graphs (Value) window, with the date range ending with the most recent data entered, I can quickly see the change in value of the investment in the upper left of the screen.

: This same information should appear as a vertical line leading to the last data point on the graph but this falls on the right-hand border of the graph.

: If I set the end date to a point in the future, then the graph shows the change in value quite nicely, but now the change in value displayed in the upper left is zero.

: Unnice!

: How do I display the change both numerically and graphically at the same time?

: Thanks.

: Mike

Hi Mike,

If you zoom in the date range, but still have the last date as the ending
graph date can you see the line move from the prior date? It may be
that you have more data points than screen resolution? If you set the date
range for a large date range, then you start to lose resolution at some
point, where you can't see every day's data, as one day is less than a pixel
on your screen.

When drawing the value line, it is the last thing drawn, so it will be
drawn on top of the border. One other option is to change the color of your
border to be different than the color of your value line. See "Options/
Colors...".

Thanks,
Mark
