: Hi Mark,
: I've been going around and around with this and trying to figure this out.
: Here is the problem:

: I started off with a top-level portfolio and created several sub-portfolios.
: I've organized and deleted some of the sub-portfolios. When I go into a report and memorize it, the next time I want to view it, it doesnt appear. I then have to go into reports setting and change the portfolio setting to the correct sub-portfolio that I want to view. If I memorize it, it doesnt save again and I have to go through the same thing again. It seems to be linking to the deleted sub-portfolios. If I go into the portfolio drop down, I can see the deleted sub-portfolio names.

: Also, if I go into my top-level portfolio properties, under statistics it shows 14 sub-portfolios when I should only have 10 sub-portfolios.

: How can I reset the portfolios?

Hi Donna,

When you memorize your report, do you see the memorized name show up in the "Reports" menu? Notice that when you memorize a report, you can either create a new memorized report, or by using the "Save As" option, you can select to overwrite a currently memorized report.

It sounds like your portfolios may not really be deleted if they are showing up in the portfolio drop down and counted in your statistics. Maybe these portfolios are nested down in the portfolio hierarchy? If you use "View / Portfolio Editor", you can see all your portfolios on the left hand side. If there is a plus sign next to one, that means there is another portfolio beneath that one. You can click on the plus sign to open it up, and see the ones beneath it.

Thanks,
Mark
