In Reply to: Same symbol used in different portfolios posted by Tim Gadd on February 21, 2006 at 22:08:38:

: I realize that the file names for the same stock used in different subportfolios must be different if saved in the same directory, but if the symbols for each subportfolio are saved in a different directory, must they still have different file names?

: I am getting some strange MASTER portfolio value plots and am wondering if it could be because some of the same stocks are contained in both subportfolios. The file names are the same for both instances of the same stock, although they are in separate directories. For example ...

:
: ...\IRA\CAL.dat and ...\Margin\CAL.dat

: If they must be different, is it ok to change the file names in one of the subportfolios from the portfolio editor?

: TIA for help.

Hi Tim,

It is perfectly fine to have the same filename in different folders. This shouldn't be the cause of any troubles. What is it that you're seeing strange in the value plots?

Thanks,
Mark
