: Hi Jim,
:
: Did you have any portfolio (mm4) files that you transferred, or just
: investment (dat) files? Where are the dat files appearing as portfolios?
: What do you mean by they stack on top of each other?

: You should always be able to at least go back to "File/Open Investment(s)..."
: and open up your *.dat investment files.

: Thanks,

Mark,
It appears that my dat files are behaving like mm4 files. I have three mutual
fund files (dat files), that, when opened sequentially (File-Open Investment),
are visible on the upper left part of the screen but stacked on top of each
other (even with the view "4" function selected- I can only see one at a time).
Each graph is titled "Portfolio Gain-H" in the case of the Gain graph. If I
select "close top investment", the top graph is closed, and the next investment
file/graph remains underneath it. I cannot open the three dat files and see them
all as separate graphs.
Is it possible that when I first set up FM 4.5 and uploaded my three dat files
they were imported as porfolio files? There are no mm4 files in Autobak or My_Data
folders right now, and I don't believe I uploaded any mm4's in the process of
conversion to FM 4.5.
I do have the original dat files on floppy disks, so I may retrace my steps and
reinstall/import the original dat files and see what that does, unless you have
any other suggestions. Thanks
