: Hi -

: I'm using FM Personal Version 6.8.344

: In the Portfolio Value report, I noticed that "total portfolio value" seems to be a bit less than the sum of the individual investment values. I'm displaying all hidden investments, and there are no interpolated prices.

: I attempted to isolate the problem, and ended up with this:

: Step 1
: Close all investments and portfolios
: Open Investment #1
: Run Portfolio Value report
: The one detail line shows 6086.16
: Total portfolio value correctly shows 6086.16

: Step 2
: Close all investments and portfolios
: Open Investment #2
: Run Portfolio Value report
: The one detail line shows 8469.04
: Total portfolio value correctly shows 8469.04

: Step 3
: Close all investments and portfolios
: Open Investment #1 and #2
: Run Portfolio Value report
: Detail line #1 shows 6086.16
: Detail line #2 shows 8469.04
: Total portfolio value is now incorrect: 14537.20

: Correct total value should be 6086.16 + 8469.04 = 14555.20
: Dicrepancy: 14537.20 - 14555.20 = -18.00

: Any ideas?

: Thanks
: Bill

Hi Bill,

I don't have any ideas... That doesn't seem right. Do you have any
transactions or anything that equal $18? Could you email me these
2 investment files, so I can try to reproduce this here? Please visit
our contact form at:

http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/contact.html

and submit a short message, and you will then see our current email address.
If you can send those 2 investments there, I'll take a look, and see if I
can't figure out the problem.

Thanks,
Mark
