Dick,

By deleting all transactions related to the investment in the new account
and transferring the stock shares back to the original, I was able to sell
the stock crediting the proceeds to the new account's cash transaction
without encountering the error message. Apparently, the transfer out /
transfer in function created a problem with this security.

I transferred the equities individually rather than transfer the account in
total. This may have created the problem too. However, the actual transfers
were spread out over 40 days.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Dick,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried your work around and in this case it doesn't work. I cannot delete
the bogus buy claiming in an error message that some of the shares were sold
from the lot. Either I lost my ability to count or there is a problem with
Money's code that it cannot add and subtract correctly.

I am going to delete all transactions related to the security in the new
account including the Transfer In. I will try to complete the transactions
in the old account. Will report my findings.

This is one of the most annoying message in the whole Money arsenal. I've
gotten it when buying shares. You'd think by now they would have made this
work right. Think again. I've seen this in M04. (I bet I would have seen
this in M05 by now if it weren't for the fact that I returned my copy to
Microsoft for my money back.)

SOMETIMES you can work around this by adding a huge buy in the account
before doing anything. Say add a buy of 1,000,000,000 shares at $1 per share
on 1/1/1980. Then do your sell. Then delete the bogus buy.

Good luck. I've had mixed results when I get one of these.

I transferred shares in from another account to a new account. The amount,
3,200 shares, is correct and appears in the investment holdings schedule. I
then sold the shares in three separate lots with the final sale 1,000 shares.
The 1,000 shares appears correctly in the investment holdings schedule;
however, when I enter sell 1,000 shares I get the error message, "The changes
you are making will cause the share balance for "Security XYZ" to become
negative at some point.

Through trial and error I determined that it will pemit me to sell 650
shares without the warning leaving a remainder of 350 shares that I cannot
sell without getting the warning.

I tried transferring the shares back to the old account. Then I tried to
sell them, but the error msg. resulted.

I then ran the salvage application to be certain that there wasn't an
anomaly in the data. Afterwards, the problem continued.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
