: : : : I have a report "Portfolio Performance" open with sort set to investment stack. This does not appear to work on the 8.1 version? I would normally hae open the report window and a graph window. As I scolled thru each investment graph, the report would change so that the toip listed item matched the current grapgh window. This does not appear to work now? Any thoughts?

: : : Hi James,

: : : FM 8.x works differently here. Now you can have multiple graph windows open, and each graph window can be displaying a separate investment. This means that scrolling investments in the graph window no longer scrolls the investment stack itself. Now, scrolling investments in the graph window just changes which investment in the stack that particular graph window is displaying. The stack itself remains unchanged as you scroll through the investments in the graph window.

: : : I can see why you would want the investment stack to scroll in this case. Maybe we can add an option to control whether scrolling in the graph window modifies the stack order or not. We'll consider this for a future update.

: : Ok-so how would I do this in the new version. I want to scroll thru each investment graph, about 40, specifically the moving average with the price+distr option and somehow be able to see how much that particular investments value is. If it is not possible by other means, I may wish to return to the old version. [ old dog ways :]. I backed up everthing prior to installing version 8.1. Would i need to delete vers 8.1 and reinstall vers 7, then restore the backup?

James,

If I understand what you are trying to do, you want to have the report open just to see the investment value when you look at your graph, right?

You can add the investment value as a legend text, so that you do not even have to look at a report (just the graph). If that's what you want, then right click on the graph, graph options, legend text. Then add investment value which I think is [[einvval]] (or similar).

Hope that helps.
