IRA always shows last mnually-entered price

Quicken 2005 Deluxe R6

Under Investing Center, I have an account for my Roth IRA. For quite some time, each week when I entered a new contribution, it would show the share price for last weeks contribution. At some point, it got screwy on me. I found out that it had somehow screwed things up a little, and each contribution would show a total fund value that was more and more out of whack with reality. I "fixed" this by manually entering a price in the Price History. But now, each week, the "default" share price is that manually-entered price, not the previous weeks. On top of that, there's some rounding error... after I manually fix each contribution, the account balance as of that day is a few cents to a dollar or so off from the balance shown on the fund website. My guess is, whatever this problem is has screwed up the rounding just a little bit, and the error is becoming more and more cumulative. In the grand scheme of things, this is just an annoyance... but for a long time, I was able to get the balance dead-bang right each and every time, and I can't any more. Any ideas on how to fix?

Without seeing the data, I'm just going to speculate on a few things.

Re: manual price. Check the date of the manually entered price. Is it a future date? Are daily prices being automatically entered? If not, then the last manual entry would be the most recent.

Re: rounding error. Perhaps transactions and summary numbers have different accuracies, ie different number of places to the right of a decimal place, either in the price or the quantity of funds.
