To fix some "duplicate" security issues followed suggestions including "show hidden transactions" so I could eventually delete the erroneous security entries after removing all related transactions including the zero-share ones. SHOW also showed me all the zero-share placeholder transactions in the accounts correctly resulting from sequential downloads of sale/purchase entries followed by closes.
Other than opening myself up to comments that I have too much time on my hands and perhaps effecting some minor reduction in file size, do you have opinions as to whether to delete all the zero-share transactions or keep them because of some "link" or what-have-you- relationship with other entries in the investment registers?
Thanks
