Default Re: Cost Basis/Add Shares

OK, tried it. No change.

Account summary shows Cost basis = <blank> , Market Value = $5,991, Gain =
$6,142

Should say Cost basis = $5,150 ($5000 purchase + $150 reinvested
distributions), Market Value = $5,991, Gain = $841

(Those values are all approximate.)

Getting there. With Money 2003 you are allowed to enter a price for
AddShares, so that is why I suspected you had an older version.

Try opening Money with Start-> Run and entering
"msmoney -s" without the quotes into the box. Perhaps that will
resolve the inconsistency.

Default Cost Basis/Add Shares

How can I manually adjust the cost basis of investments that were purchased
before I started tracking transactions in Money?

When I was creating a new Money file, I started tracking transactions from
the beginning of the year. I have some mutual funds that were purchased
before then, so I entered them in as an Add Shares transaction rather than a
Buy.

But now on my investment account Account Summary window, it shows the funds
as having a zero cost basis (actually, it's blank), and a gain equal to the
current value.

Any ideas?
