Cal, thank you. This helped. the transfer outs were legitimate transfers to
other accounts. I had to delete the sells and transfer outs that occurred
after the stock split. I was then able to delete the stock split. As you
suggested, I added a 1 for 1 split on the same date to prevent another
download from adding the same erroneous split. Last, I re-added the sells
and transfer out transactions. Unfortunately I had to update the quantity
and price for some of the buy/sell transactions that occurred before the
split. All is good now.

Thanks again.

I would delete all of the RemoveShares, and probably all of the
AddShares, that post-date the bad split. Maybe just delete the
RemoveShares that immediately succeeds the date of the bogus split.
If in doubt, you could Void, rather than Delete, some of those
transactions.

Regarding the TransferOut, where did that come from? Was that
corresponding to you actually transferring shares to another
account? If it is real, keep it. If you don't know where it came
from .... well, I wouldn't know either.

Keep an extra copy/backup of your file, in case you want to undo
something.

If you have a problem with that bogus split getting re-downloaded,
enter a 1:1 split for that date.

An erroneous stock split was entered automatically through the download
function. Now the number of shares is wrong. When I try to remove the stock
split through the "update prices manually" link and deleting the 111 for 100
stock split, I get this message: "This stock split can't be deleted because
that would cause the share balance to become negative (or positive if you
have short sell activities) in one or more of your Investment Accounts, or
because it would generate an invalid price or quantity. You can fix this
error by deleting or changing one or more of your Sell, Remove Shares,
Transfer Out (short), or Cover Short activities. If you need to change
information (such as the date), first enter a new transaction with the
correct information, then delete the original transaction."

There are several Sell and Transfer Out activities before and after the
stock split. Which ones do I need to change or remove? I will need to
re-add them. Once fixed, how do I prevent the automatic download from
entering this stock split again? Is there an easier way to remove this
system generated stock split? Thanks.
