Jim:  Thanks for your help.  For reasons I don't understand I closed down Quicken and my computer.  When I brought them back up the report was working properly.  I have learned not try to figure these things out.  Thanks again!  Bill Nonidez

What Action did you use when adding the shares - Added or Bought? Adding shares does not reduce the cash in the account, you must Buy them unless they were received as a gift or transferred from another account.
