Strange re-investment problem

Hi Mark:
I have a strange bond fund re-investment problem.

I move 100% in and out of this fund a lot. There is a re-investment dividend every time I move out. Suddenly, the calculated dividend per share (as shown in the exported *.div file) shows a large value (and incorrect) for about 6 dates out of a hundred or so that I moved 100% out. This large value gives a large (incorrect) jump in the share value for the shares plus dividend graphs, on the date that has large dividend per share.

I can delete the re-investment transaction, and re-enter, and the problem goes away from that date, but now the next 100% sell date has the same problem!

I have corrected all transactions so that shares are only to 3 decimal places.

This is strange. It's as if the dividend $/share calculations are using the wrong shares held. Can you help me? I'll be glad to e-mail you the associated exported files for this fund if you want to look more closely.

Regards, Larry
