: Mark,

: I have two portfolios which both own some of the same shares. When I generate a report for one portfolio all the transactions in that particular stock show up even though the portfolio I am looking at has not made all the purchases and sales. How do I segregate transaction activity by portfolio.

: Can you help?

: Lance,

Hi Lance,

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.

For your case, IBM1.dat would be included in one portfolio, and IBM2.dat would
be included in the other.

Thanks,
Mark
