Can't sell or transfer out all of my investment

#3 06-03-2004, 03:06 PM

I have figured out a workaround, but I still claim that
it's a bug (not that it matters, since MSFT won't be doing
anything about it).

Arthur, your instincts were right--all of the stocks that
exhibited this problem had split at some point (reverse
and regular splits).

The workaround was to not only delete all transactions
related to the stock, but to delete the splits as well.
Then, I entered the transactions before the split(s),
entered the split, then entered the transactions after the
split.

It would seem that if you do these out of order, Money
gets confused about how much stock you have even though
the numbers show up correctly.

Thanks all,
Brian

What are the dates of the transactions? In other words are you trying to
Sell something before you've bought it?

Was a stock split involved? I wonder if mny thinks there was a
reverse split? I've had this happen with my 03 but after digging I
found my error. Do you have other 'odd lots' that are okay?

I would see if salv.exe will help you. See FAQ available at
http://umpmfaq.info/faq.html for information.

In Money 2002, I have 250 shares of 'stock'. If I attempt
to sell or transfer out more than 150 shares, the program
reports that my account balance would go negative at some
point, and refuses the transaction. 150 shares, no
problem.

After selling 150 shares, if you go back into the
portfolio, there are still 100 shares remaining. Try to
move them at all, and you get that same problem.

I've been scratching my head over this one for a while.
This is definitely a bug. I have even tried deleting all
transactions related to that investment and then re-
entering them. No such luck.

Anybody ever see this before? Any known workarounds?

Thanks.
