: : : Hi,
: : : I've been using Fund Manager for years and recently noticed somthing odd. I'm running version 6.8.344 and I have cash accounts set up for all of my portfolios. In previous releases of FM whenever I would enter a transaction for a security the linked cash account would be debited or credited automatically to reflect the transaction. This would occur and I would see the cash balance change if I was in a report or, if in a graph, I could right-click on the cash account and select 'edit all data...' from the drop-down, then 'investments(all)' and immediately see the transaction. In release 6.8 I no longer see this automatically. Although I do see the transaction in the security it occurred in (in the report or graph), I have to exit FM and then start it again in order to see the cash account debit/credit. Am I missing something?

: : Hi Jim,

: : Something doesn't sound right, 6.8 should work the same as prior versions.
: : Can you try this:

: : 1) Verify under "Options / Preferences... / Other" that your default
: : cash account is assigned properly.

: : 2) Record a test purchase in some other investment in your portfolio.

: : 3) Use "Edit / All Data..." with the "Investments (all)" data type to
: : go look and see if your cash account was debited for the balance of the
: : purchase?

: : Thanks,
: : Mark

: Hello, Mark. I did what you asked and the problem still presented itself. However, I did a Fund Manager update to TRANRETR.DLL version 110 and now the problem is gone. I don't know if the two are related but the upgrade to 110 seems to have fixed it. Thanks for your prompt reply, and for continuing to develop a great product.

Hi Jim,

Boy, I wouldn't have expected that DLL to affect this... Anyway, if you
run into any more troubles let me know.

Thanks,
Mark
