Security original purchase date.

I began using Quicken in 2011 when Microsoft Money stopped. I added my securities as added on the date in 2011. I also added the original purchase date. The individual stock record shows the date in 2011 the stock was added but not the original purchase date. I know that the stocks I still own are being tracked by the purchase date. But I can't find a report showing the original date. And I have left the brokerage and can't get the dates there.
Can someone please help.

Just to make sure I'm understanding, you used an "Add" action for each lot of each security you owned, using a 2011 entry date, and for each "Add" action you filled out the box titled "Date acquired"?If that's correct then each multi-lot security shown when you click on "Holdings" in an Investment Account should have a "+" sign next to it and clicking on that "+" sign should result in each lot in that security being listed with a Lot date, the original purchase date.I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to by "the individual stock records". If that's the Investment Transaction list - the list of each transactions within the Account that comes up when you open an Account - you can see your original 2011 Add action transactions, but you'd have to click on the "Edit" key for each Add action to see the "Date acquired" box.In Portfolio view, reduce the Account list feeding the view to the one Account you're interested in. Make sure the view is grouped by Accounts. By clicking on a "+" next to a security a lot detail will be shown. You can click CTRL-P and list out that view. If you set the date for the view to that 2011 Add action date the securities shown should be only your original entries when you established the Account in Quicken.6

Tom and Sherlock,
Thank you so much for answering. The solution was so easy I feel foolish. I was looking in all the wrong placed for something that was right in front of me.
Thank you,
