I could swear I told the spell checker to fix contributions.

See http://www.bollar.com/msmoney/#Q14 for some insight that might help. You
don't say whether these purchases are coming from your money or your
employers. If yours, you should be making a transfer to the 401K cash
account ("(contributiutions)") from the Before Tax tab of each of your
paychecks, then the investment purchases can be made directly from the cash
account.

When I enter new buys of stock purchases made thru my
company 401K program, also entered is an offsetting equal
amount in an account named "(contributions)" which I did
not set up. The net result is that the new total of the
overall account does not change in the progeam even though
I have made new purchases.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help.
