Two accounts show up in summary view for one account

Version Q2006 Basic for Windows I have multiple accounts setup for tracking a single mutual fund each. On at least one of my accounts when I look at the investment register for that account and click the Summary view vs the Transactions view I get two accounts showing up in the holdings area. One account is the proper one, the other is a different account from the same funds family. For instance when I click on the USAA Income fund in the Investing Center selection window I get the Income fund in the main window on the right. On the summary tab both the Income fund and the USAA Growth & Income fund show up. The result is the Market value is completely screwed up. My Income fund shows the correct number of shares and the correct price but an incorrect value. The Growth & Income fund shows the correct shares, price, and market value.

It looks like some records in the database are bad somehow. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I think what you mean here is that you get a display that includes securities from what you believe should be two different accounts. The Holdings pane on the Summary tab only shows securities, not accounts. (Single Mutual Fund accounts often create problems and confusion; one of the confusions is that people frequently name the account exactly the same as the underlying security, then forget that there is a big difference between a security and an account.)

The first thing I would check is whether you have somehow altered the account so it is no longer a SMF account.

I would also create an Investment Transaction report for that account for "All Dates", and look for transactions for both securities.

This is a very strange observation. The market value is the number of shares multiplied by the price (it's not a stand alone field; it's computed). Difficult to see how Quicken could screw up one multiplication out of a great many.

It's always possible that you have some corruption; the only way to fix it (short of sending the file to Intuit) is to Validate. Validating does not find or fix all corruption. Make a Quicken "copy" of your data and Validate that. If the problem is found and fixed, make the "copy" your regular Quicken fileset.
