So much for common courtesy. The woman is just ignorant.

I was able to reproduce your problem using Money 2006 Canadian Edition.
Having said that, please keep in mind that I am just another Money user who
comes to this site when I need it and occassionally is able to help others.
The volunteers who work hard to keep this site viable have often been quite
helpful to me. I hope you realize from the replies to this post that an
apology is probably in order.

Hey, dingbat!!!!! Neither are any of us.

Try opening a support case directly with Microsoft. I bet you can't get them
to care, either, but they you'll spare the rest of us who are just trying to
help FELLOW USERS.

I would suggest you direct your vituperative comments to Microsoft, as this
group does not include any Microsoft programmers.

I cannot reproduce your problem in M2003. Is it possible for you to see if you
get the same result in M2003? If you do, then there may be an issue with how
you are entering the data.

You've mentioned this before, in the same arrogant tone.

Microsoft doesn't work here. We're volunteers and have no influence over
what Microsoft does or doesn't do. What part of that do you not understand?

Microsoft rarely releases updates to existing programs and, when that
happens, it's usually shortly after the initial release of a new version.
Some ugly bugs have remained in Money for years, despite repeated requests
to fix it, and explicit directions as to how to replicate it.

Having said this, how many more times are you going to post the same
complaint in the same obnoxious tone?

Default Perfomance by Investment Type or Account is WRONG

The "Performance by Investment Type or Account" Reports are WRONG and I
cannot get anyone to fix this situation.

Here's an EASY way to show you what the problem is:

Go in and make the following transactions under an Investment Account in
your SAMPLY.MNY file.

Buy a Cash Money Market in the amount of $1,000 (at $1/share) on 10/01/05.

Now, enter a "Reinvested Interest" amount of $10.00 (at $1/share) on 12/31/05.

Okay, go to the report and look at the "Return for Period" column and see
what the problem is (it will say your return was $20 - not $10).

Just make these two simple, easy-to-understand and reproducable transactions
and you will be able to find and fix a MAJOR error in Money 2006.

Please take this seriously. Make these two transaction entries and then
look at the report for all dates.

THIS IS A MICROSOFT PROGRAMMING error and if your programmer's egos are too
big to handle the fact that they made a mistake - that is there problem. In
the meantime, this report is MY PROBLEM!!!! I am tired of having to export
it into Excel and fix the numbers (I have had Money for over 10 years so I
know this is new).

So easy for me to figure out and I'm not the one working for Microsoft.
Aren't you guys supposed to be the elite?
