Thanks for the reply.  1) I have validated and super validated this file.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicken.  I have "cleaned" quicken.  2) Not sure what you mean by "not seeing that 1st screen shot error."  3) There is no significance to the date.  There is only 1 cash line item on 5/6/08.  On 5/7/08 there are two for some reason.  There is a duplicate line item for cash for each day of the account from 5/7/08 until the account cash balance goes to 0 in late 2011.  Thanks for digging into this with me.

Sorry, should have said "I'm not seeing that 1st screen shot error in my own file.

Very odd.  It does seem like there's something wrong down at the data level that's screwed up and validating doesn't fix it.  What happens if you make an entry to drive the cash to $0 on 5/7/08 by entering a reduction of cash of the duplicated amount with the offset going back into the SAME Account.  (After first making a backup, of course.)  That should, as an accounting entry, make the cash balance in the actual Account drop to $0 (in error) but at this point I guess it doesn't hurt to just thrash about for a bit.

Beyond that I don't have any other advice except to not use the Portfolio Value Report over the affected period.  ;-)

Thanks Tom.  Yes, I have made an accounting entry to drive the cash to zero and it does 2 things.  First, it screws up the other 3 "reports" that are correct while fixing the portfolio value report and second, the problem appears in the portfolio value report later when cash shows back up due to normal transactions.  I have concluded that this is NOT a data input error but rather a Quicken data processing error or a Quicken report error.  I am more than welcome to someone showing me otherwise.  In the absence of that, I am hoping that someone from the Quicken programming team can dive into this and help out.  Thanks again Tom.
