I've tried it both ways, and neither one worked. One curious thing--at
one point I clicked on "Analysis" and it showed some 30 or 40 fewer
shares than the portfolio display does. Is that a clue to what might
be happening?

Sometimes rounding errors accumulate. Try adding a bogus 1 share buy to see
what happens. "Corruption" could be involved here too.

Also, you could go to the account summary and do an account update to the
number of shares you think you have before the sale then enter the sale.

When I try to remove all the shares of a mutual fund investment, I get
a message that says doing so will cause a negative balance at some
point, and advises me to arrange the transactions so this doesn't
happen. Obviously removing all shares would bring the balance to zero,
but I don't see why it would ever go negative. The same message
appears whether I try to confirm a downloaded transaction, or try to
do the transaction manually. Nothing I try to work around this seems
to work. Anyone have a solution, or a clue as to why it is happening?
Many thanks.
