Cal,
Absolutely amazing! Worked like a charm!! TKS!
BTW .. if you are in the market I would recommend CVRD also traded on NYSE.
Ask your broker and I'm sure you'll get a BUY recommendation!
Again ... tks for the tip.

I reproduced the bug/anomaly. I suspect you had originally had the
country for CVRD as US or that US was the default at the time you
first entered CVRD into Money. Somehow, while it changes elsewhere,
the Portfolio and AccountSummary remember the original currency when
you change the stock's country later.

The workaround with 2007, it could have been a little easier, but
not a big difference. Here is my suggested workaround:

In the details, remove (blank) the symbol, if any. Rename the
existing stock to something you will never use. Let's suppose you
choose czzzz (which will put it alphabetically close to CVRD).

Create a new stock with the correct name, such as CVRD. I would
leave the symbol blank for now. Select the proper country.

Go back to investment czzzz and choose InvestmentActivities. If you
have any Sell transactions in czzzz, first create a new fake
AddShares of zzzz for many more shares than you ever held.

Change each transaction to CVRD using the drop-down list. Start
with the oldest transaction. Keep going until there are no more
czzzz transactions remaining, except for the fake AddShares. Then
Delete the fake AddShares.


At that point you can Delete czzzz.

You enter the price by hand?

OK, we should be able to come up with a solution.

1. In the investment details, what is the country that is listed?
You can right-click a reference to the investment and choose to go
to the investment details.

2. Do you have a symbol on it?

3. What version of Money are you using? Help-> About should tell you.

Cal,
tks ... but I don't wish to change the currency for investment quotes.
My difficulty is when I show my portofolio, using Portfolio shortcut as you
suggested, and see a list of my holdings ALL of which are in local Brazilian
Real currency. For just ONE of the holdings, the "Last Price" (which I input
manually), "Cost Basis", "Market Value" amounts that show have the US$ symbol
even though in Tools > Settings > Program Settings > Currency, the Brazilian
Real is selected as the Base currency. This particular stock is quoted in
Brazilian Real on the Brazilian Stock Exchange and I input and update the
quotes prices always in R$

Also, since the Brazilian Real is my Base currency and the symbol is R$ why
doesn't the symbol appear in any of the reports? I just see the amounts
without any symbol

I don't think you can change the currency for the investment quotes
in the Account Summary or Portfolio without choosing a different
symbol.

In later versions
Tools-> Settings-> ProgramSettings-> UpdateCurrencies lets you set
exchange rates and determine if the rates are to be updated on line.
I hope that if that is set up right, the correct Brazil Real totals
will use the correct exchange rate.

Incidentally, the Portfolio views are often a better way to look at
your investments. You can configure in the columns most useful to
you. I suggest enabling Portfolio Shortcut.

All of several holdings listed in Account Summary are correctly listed in
local currency (Brazil Real) EXCEPT one that appears in US$ at an invalid
exchange rate. I would like ALL holdings listed in local currency, i.e., how
do I get this one holding to be displayed in local currency? I have used all
instructions for currency conversion, i.e., right click amount box and use
currency converter but no luck.
suggestions?
TIA
