"The resulting value is too big. Please enter it as more than one transaction"

I get the above message when a file validation is completed.  Same message on super validation.  Once I click OK it completes the validation and produces the text with report with no unsual information.  So it does not seem to be an issue, but I would rather not see the message at all.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

    Hi @CMRater,

    For how long a time have you been getting this error, and does it only happen when you are doing a file validation?  Have you tried restoring a backup file from before this problem started to see if it also happens for that file?

    Just started within last 10-14 days.  Have not tried restoring an old file.
    Sounds like you have not seen this before?

    Only happens on validations. Reg and Super.

    You are correct in your observation - I haven't seen or heard of this particular error code.  How often are you doing the validation and/or super-validation routines?

    Are you seeing any other issues with your data file? For example, are you missing data/entries in registers, having problems downloading transactions, seeing sny unusual transactions appearing in accounts or transactions disappearing form accounts?

    "Resulting value is too big" almost always indicates a corrupted Q data file.
    That file validation can't fix it STRONGLY indicates that you need to start looking for a backup that doesn't exhibit this error.

    Thanks.
    I've been working with support.  Narrowed it down to a single investment transaction.  The 2nd level support was assisting indirectly but has scheduled a call to address directly next Monday.
