To look at the split history for a stock. Go to the investment
PriceHistory. UpdatePrices->UpdatePricesManually.
Look through the table and find the entries in the Source column
that say "Stock Split". The first split, going back in time, will
be identifiable by the quotes being suffixed with an 'S' for the
price. The first may not be the bad one.
Note the date of the bad split. It is not necessary to delete it
at this point. Click Close. Then UpdatePrices->RecordASplit.
Record a split for the date you noted as a 1 for 1 split. Accept
that you are overwriting the existing split. That should inoculate
you to a re-download of the bad split for that date-- at least for
some versions. Let us know how that works out for you. You might
want to post the symbol for the stock and the date of the bad split
data.
