Q08 advisory...."You Should use two transactions......"

I would check the box Sell All Shares in this Account. This would tell you how many shares Quicken has. Probably a small rounding difference for the shares.

Subject: Q08 advisory...."You Should use two transactions......"

I've tried removal, sale, etc, but the above message pops up and prevents the transaction. Any thoughts on what might be the problem?

The WEN ledger probably is mucked up (it dates back to Quicken-DOS) and shows a cost basis of $213 and a loss of $195 for the fractional share. Current quotes for WEN around $28/share.

So, any thoughts/ideas on how to get rid of the fractional shares on the

ledger, and close out the security?

Thanks in advance. Cheers, Jim

Did that already, no good. Also did the stuff that Intuit lists in there knowledgebase

Thanks John, but adding (Alt+Z) 0.000001 did no good.

I'm thinking that Q08 doesn't like the range of the following data: a cost basis of $213 and a loss of $195 for the fractional 0.646 share (cost basis of $329/sh on $28 stock).

Any other tricks/ideas?

Thanks guys. Cheers, Jim

Solution.....Did a ShtSellX on the 0.646 shares, and the share balance was brought down to 0.00, closure.

Don't understand why a short sell would do this, but the math seems to work. Anybody have any insights in why this worked, appreciate a reply.

Cheers, Jim
