: Hi Mark,
: I have two FM files, one for Active and one for Cumulative investments. I am having a problem with the Cumulative file, which has one master porfolio, with 11 subportfolios, and additional subportfolios below most of the 11, for a total of 26.

: It seems that all of the investments have been closed out in all porfolios of the Cumulative file, with the exception of those investments that begin with the letter 'A', in one case 'B', and one other case a new investment added last week. My guess is that some process started, or almost completed, that was terminated.

: I have hidden investments checked. I also have a password on the application. The only thing I can think of that happened out of the ordinary is that whenever I close the Cumulative file, I receive a mesage ' C:Program Files\Fund Manager?\Autoback\MasterxPortfolio_FRK.dat was modified later than C:\Program Files\Fund Manager7\My_Data\FRK_dat. Copy Anyway? ' Unfortunately, I'm not sure how I might have responded to this consistently the last few times I had FM open.

: All of the investments which are also in the Active file are unaffected.

: I do have an off-line backup from October which could help to recover, if necessary.

: Thanks,
: Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure how this would have happened either, this sounds rather unusual... Here are some things to check:

1) Look in the Portfolio Editor to see all your investments. Could it be that you just need to scroll to see the ones past the first "B"? Where are you looking to see that only these investments are open?

2) Create a report (Portfolio Value for example) at the highest sub-portfolio level. Turn off sub-totaling, and list by investment. Do you see your investments? Maybe they are in a different sub-portfolio than you're expecting?

That autoback error should not cause any of your investments to close.

Thanks,
Mark
