I upgraded to 2010 from 2007 about 3 weeks ago. After doing a Year End
Net Worth, I found the figure was off by a considerable amount. A
little tracking and I found that the Cost Basis for most of my
Investment accounts is completely wrong. Haven't figured out why yet
but I did determine that by deleting the transaction and re-entering
it, Quicken appears to take the now re-entered information into
account. I only did this for 2 transactiona and can't be certain the
re-calculation is correct, however, it is clear the cost basis changes
once i do this delete and re-enter. The main problem here is that I
can't see myself doing this for each of the literally hundreds of
transactions I have in each investment account. Validation and Super-
Validation do not solve the problem and no errors are reported. Anyone
else seeing this? If so, any solutions?

Regards and Happy New Year to everyone.

I've forgotten the details, but this sounds like a bug that was discovered
having to do with reconciling investment accounts.

If I recall, you could restore the correct cost basis by just selecting
the transaction, clicking Edit, then clicking OK. If that doesn't work,
you can try Cut/Paste.

And if it is the reconciles that are causing the problem, stop reconciling
until there is a patch. I believe R4 is due out before the end of
February - though I don't know whether it will address this issue.

My understanding has been that a transaction list recalculation (Ctrl-
Z) would correct the zero cost basis error in QW2010.

Thanks for all the feedback.Would you mind walking me through the Ctrl-
Z procedure you mentioned? Do I hit those keys when I do a File-Open?

Well, did quick search on the usenet group and found the
procedure.Looks like the CTRL-Z did the trick. Thanks for the input.I
was thinking my file (been running since early 1990's !) was finally
going to have to be put to bed.
