the exact unit price (eg. 0.001 units [at] $1.0085). It
works because I have a very large quantity of units in
that investment eg. 10,000+.

So using my work around the current investment value is
calculated as: 10,000.001 * 1.0085

If I used the manual input the 1.0085 gets rounded to
1.009 and so the current investment value gets calculated
as: 10,000 * 1.009

The first workaround is more accurate and reflects my
portfolio better. It only works because I have large
unit holdings. Your suggestion would work better for
smaller holdings I think.

Thanks again.

As a work-around, since you are entering data by hand, you could do
a 1 for 100 split. Rename to "Hundred xyz units". Enter price *100.
I understand that is not ideal, but it could be an acceptable
compromise.

are say $1.00985 it ends up with more than a 1% error and
it makes reconciliation awkward. The real point is that
there is no reason for money to round the number when it
is input (maybe only for display purposes). I note that
it is not rounded when the buy or sell transactions are
done and therefore the handling of the unit price is
inconsistent.

I'll drop a request into the Wish List.

Thanks Cal.

No. You think that's a big deal?

Seems like MS Money rounds unit prices to three decimal
places when they are updated manually. Is there a way to
avoid this because it causes the valuation of the units
to be inaccurate?
