: : Hi guys,
: : I know this is probably a supersimple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

: : Say I have 1000 shares of a stock (that's in the system). Now I've sold 300 shares. I use the "buy/sell transaction window" for that, but where do I enter the commission for the sale???
: : In the little window there's no field for that....

: : Please help,

: Hi Bert,

: Each investment can be assigned to use a different "transaction entry preference". This option controls whether or not the commission field is shown on the "buy/sell transaction" dialog or not. By default, stocks have this turned on, but if the investment was created as a cash or no-load mutual fund, it would have this turned off. You can check by looking at the "Investment Properties... / Other" dialog. You can change it there to use the "Commission Fees" method, and then go back and edit your sell transaction, and you'll see the commission field available.

Hello,

I'm evaluating FM v8.6. I can't find the "Investment Properties... / Other" dialog. Can you give me a little more information about where it is? I'm trying to add a forgotten commission to an initial stock purchase.

Thanks.
