I'm going in through the Account List : Investment Accounts path as opposed
to the My Portfolio view. After selecting the Investment account to review
(which lists the various funds in the selected investment) I can click on
Update Prices : Update Manually. This then allows me up select an investment
fund, put in the date of market price update, enter the latest price and hit
the update button. That is the only value that I am changing, not the total
value. This action accurately changes the total at the bottom of the
Investment display but the price change activity is not shown - just the
original entries with their original prices. I see the options you describe
but from within the Account List : Investment Accounts : Investment path
would like to see something listing the statement-driven entries that I have
put in. The graphs that come up tend to show how the fund has been performing
in general (nothing wrong with that) but I just want to see something listing
the market price increase activity that I have been entering each month.

What you call the display is the Portfolio ("Your Portfolio") view,
which shows values for each investment? Or are you looking at the
AccountValue on the lower right of the InvestmentTransactions
register, which shows the latest value of the whole account?

It sounds as if you may be just inputting the total value of an
account rather than inputting a price per share. On the other hand,
earlier it appeared you were entering actual buys complete with
prices per share. If you know how many shares you have, then your
monthly manual input would be to enter any buys but to also enter a
price per share.

You are not going to see the price increase/decrease data on the
register. In the Portfolio, there is an AsOf date that you could
change to get the prices as of a given date. If you right-click an
entry, you can choose PriceHistory to get a graph. Click
UpdatePrices-> UpdatePricesManually as you should do to enter a price
for a security (assuming you know the recent price per share each
month), then you can also see a small table of existing price data.

In addition, there are reports that can be of potential use to you.
Among them, the Reports-> Investments-> PriceHistory could be useful.
There are others you can explore. For each, you can click Customize
and change the various factors. For example, in the PriceHistory
report, Customize-> Chart and changing from Line to Report (then
Apply) will change from a graph to a table.

There is no way to have the price data over time displayed as line
items in the register or Portfolio views. There is no report that I
know of that will list price change entries interspersed with Buys
and Sells.

I have no problem with buying shares. This is for my mutual funds. I go to my
Account List and then click on the Investment Account that I want to work on.
Say on 1/1/06 I buy into a mutual fund with 100 shares in ABC Inc. at $10.
On 2/1/06 my statement says the 100 shares are now worth $12. I can manually
update the price increase and the total at the bottom of the display now
shows the total as $1200. The line showing the investment data still shows
the original statement date of 1/1/06 with 100 shares at $10 but I'm not
seeing a new line of data beneath dated 2/1/06 it reflecting the 'activity'
(price increase) on that statement. At 1st look it it seems as if the math is
wrong as 100 * 10 isn't $1200. Even if I elect to display all transaction
details I don't see the history. I would like to see new dated lines of data
showing the 'activity' on the statements that I entered. Thanks - David

Suppose you bought 100 shares of wxyzx on 2/2/2003 [at] $10 for a total
of $1000. You bought 100 more on 2/2/2004 at $11.00. Suppose your
200 shares are worth $12 per share today for a total of $2400. What
is it that you want to see that you don't now see?

I have been going through all my unentered statements and manually updating
the prices for my mutual funds in Money 2004. Money has been correctly
recording the changes & shows the latest total for all investments - all well
and good. The only activity detail I see, however, is the original quantity
and prices which obviously doesn't match the total. What do I so that I can
see correctly dated monthly entries that reflect the adjustments to the fund
prices? I want to see line items that reflect the changes in the same way as
if I had been buying or selling shares with their impact on the total.
