: Hi Mark;
: I did a manual transaction import for my dividends for January. I made a big mistake I opened my portfolio sub portfolio to import my dividends instead of importing to the master portfolio & Fm created 3 new investments& recorded a split for 2 investments I don't see how I could have done it by accident. Can you think of a way FM would record a spilt without being told too?
: I thought I might not have had a file open that I got a dividend for but the price was getting updated so it must have be open.
: Importing to the sub portfolio is what did part of the mess up because on my old back up computer I imported to the Master portfolio& every thing worked OK
: Another problem that is incontinent in all my dividend records the year is missing can I set FM 7 to show year automatically. my old computer is showing the date
Hi Lawrence,
Just a tip for you... Whem importing or retrieving there is a "New Investment"
column in the preview dialog. This way you'll know if FM needs to create a new
investment for a particular transaction. I'd double check that a split transaction wasn't in the importing file. The
other ways it can get recorded is either manually, or if you retrieve from
Yahoo (Historical) using the Professional version, there is an option to
retrieve dividends and another option to retrieve splits. Are you saying that all your recorded dividends don't show the year? Where
are you looking to see this? Thanks,
Mark
