Excessive Yield in Graph

I am in the evaluation period and have loaded most of my historical data. Everything seems to be working well with the exception of one quirk which I can't figure out.

I have two sub-portfolios that are showing 3 and 6 month Yields of 49950.03 and equally erroneous returns for 1,3,5 years in the Yield bar when I run the Prtfolio Value (and other) Graph.

The Reports for the sub-portfolios seem correct.

The graphs of the individual investments within the portfolio and reported yields also seem to be correct.

For example, the only investment in one of the sub-portfolios is a simple money market account with the following transactions:

4/4/02 - Purchase $1100

Monthly reinvestment of dividends between 4/02 and 2/05 totalling $38.10

2/28/05 - Sell $1138.10

The value of this account is now $0.00

When I run the Investment Value Graph with date range 3/1/2002 to 8/30/2005 the graph yields appear correct. But when I go to the Portfolio level, seeting that Portfolio as the Active Portfolio, and run the Portfolio Value Graph using the same date range I get a 3 month Yield of 49950 as noted above.

Can you explain why this is and how to correct it? Other than that the program seems ideally suited for my needs and expcet to register once I load all my data and

Thanks, Kevin
