Thank you. I spent days researching this problem. The first time I
deleted and reentered the transactions showing zero cost basis. This
worked and I was happy until this month when even more transactions
showed zero costs.(I did reconcile the investment account) I e-mailed
with Quicken support for over a week. They finally gave up. Now your
post CTRL Z solved the problem. I just updated to release 4. Have no
idea wether it solves the problem until I reconcile this month. You
would think that Quicken would update their support staff to be aware
of this problem and discuss it on their support site.
