I would start with a File-> RepairMoneyFile-> QuickFileRepair. If that
does not fix it, I would try to make a repaired version with
File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2.

I'm using money 2007 and entered data for a spin off for a stock that I have
owned for some time and has seen spin-offs before (I use the Spin-off
wizard). I entered the wrong split infomation so attempted to "undo" the
spin-off by going to "Investment transactions" and deleted the transactions
that Money generated.

Now I have an interesting problem: The stock no longer appears in the
Account summary or Portfolio Manager, yet Money knows exactly how many
shares I still own - If I enter a test sell transation for the stock, Money
behaves as expected.

I can generate an "Portfolio value by investment accounts" report and the
stock is there but the cost basis is shown as $0. An Investment transaction
report shows a price and quanity for all buy transactions.

I'm confused why Money seems confused.

Any ideas how I get Money to display this stock in the Portfolio manager.

Another odd thing: When looking at the account register for the investment
account where this stock is held, then looking viewing the "Account Summary"
and then selecting "Account Update: Just let me quickly update how much I
own", nothing happens. With other investment accounts, everything behaves as
expected.

Thanks in advance
