I cannot find a security on the Portfolio page

marvk

I purchased a security and recorded in the appropriate account. It appears on my Portfolio Value Report by Account", but it does not appear in the portfolio listing no can I find it among the list of securities. How can I make that secvuity fully "active"?

First things... as suggested -
does this security appear in the -- Tools --> Security List ?

Customize the Portfolio View to ensure the security is selected.

Thanks for your input. I tried that with no success.

Also in the Customize ensure the account is selected. Also what currency is it? Same as base currency of the portfolio?

Another point to check - Security List, check to show hidden securities, make sure this security is not hidden.

On a new transaction/new security I didn't think the default for Security List would be "hidden" but if that is the default, not a lot would show up in the Portfolio View.

Point taken.  I thought perhaps this was a security he owned earlier and had hidden.  That is, he did not say it was a new security, only that it was a new purchase.

Try File, File operations, validate and repair.  Then pick the first two options: Validate and Rebuild investing lots.
