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 permit 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.
