Deleting an account/bond investment

#11 09-03-2007, 06:34 AM

So from Account Summary, if I select Account Update I am able to adjust the
Qty to 0. This is the correct way?
Then the Remove Shares transaction is equal to the Buy transaction. And the
final amt is zero.
Is there a difference between a remove shares transaction and a disposal
transaction? (you said to delete the remove shares trans and edit the
disposal trans to equal the Money calculated number of shares)

Thanks for working on this with me,
Richard

I use the term 'disposal transaction' to refer generically to all the
different possible transactions that remove shares from your account.
That includes remove shares and sell, among possible others.

Adjusting Qty to 0 is what I'm trying to get you to do. When you do
that, Money creates a 'remove shares' for the qty it needs to remove
to set the account qto to 0. When it did that, did the qty in the
remove shares match _exactly_ the qty in the sell or whatever you did
last to dispose of the shares?

Ok that's clear.

I matches exactly now and I just deleted the other removal entries. So the
Money generated Remove Shares is the only disposal transaction I have.
Quantities and Amounts are zero. Investments still show until I close them
from Accounts List. But still can't delete them...

If you still get the error message: "This transaction cannot be
entered", I would do a File->RepairMoneyFile->StandardFileRepair
level 2 to make a repaired version of your file.

First, it worked. Thanks to all, especially Cal Learner and Chris Cowles for
their advice.

When I performed the level 2 Repair I got this as the report:
Fixed records in report table.
Fixed records in system table.

So that was it. Something corrupt in the file. Five min's after reading
your post my problem was solved.
I've deleted the Money file with the errors and renamed the Repaired file to
be my regular money file. Thanks again!
