I am still using Money Premium 2006. I would like to know if the following
problem (feature?) is observed by other folks, either in M2006 or M2007.

The Portfolio Manager has columns "Change" and "TotChng." The former is
the change in price, per share, of a security for one day. The latter
is, roughly speaking, "Change" multiplied by the number of shares held.
I don't remember which of these columns is visible by default. I have
chosen to view create of these columns in the "custom" view of my
Portfolio Manager.

My problem is that for mutual funds, the value reported in the "TotChng"
column is always blank. Not zero, just a blank space.

Thank you in advance for any observations (or fixes!) for this problem.

Try checking the prices between about 7 PM EDT and midnight.

David,

If Cal's suggestion doesn't do it ... I'll just ask: are you updating
the prices on a weeknight and viewing on the same day ? For example:
update Tuesday night and view it on Tuesday night .

Also, if you update on weekends/holidays - today's change is always
empty in M2006 ( no daily price for " TODAY")

There were SOME improvements in M2006 from my M2004 , but this is one
that aggravates me: that I can't see the actual info for a certain date.
So if I DO update daily ( I do), on Thrusday I cannot select the
previous day's date in the dropdown and have it show me that's day's
gain/loss. Apparenlty, some MS marketing guy wants "today's change" to
be done only by the online server so after 3 years you have to buy a new
frigging copy. So I still have a PC running M2004 to show me the change
column ( by messing with the PC date, THEN starting Money, the "today's
change" column is updated.).
