Thanks Mark,

Mary

: : Dear FM,

: : Think this is the same issue asked in a different way, but need to get clear on it.

: : I have a range of investments that are in different sub portfolios. Initially created new ones for each sub portfolio, ie BHP.dat, BHP1.dat, BHP2.dat were in the My_Data file.

: : However on reviewing the overall portfolio these appeared as different invements (in the colours in the pie chart).

: : So deleted all the xxx1.dat, xxx2.dat versions. However, on changing the purchase info for eg BHP.dat it automatically changes it for each sub portfolio.

: : Presume you are saying that is just the way the program goes, and I now need to go back to the multiple versions of the one investment.

: : Thanks in advance, great program overall.

: : Mary

: Hi Mary,

: Since each holding of BHP has separate transactions you would want unique investments for each holding of BHP.

: You can put the same investment file in multiple sub-portfolios, but since it is a common investment file, any change you make to it will be reflected wherever that investment is located.

: We do have an FAQ on this, which may provide some more help:
