Yes. The nuber of shares shown is the number I entered. When I enter items in 
these accounts I enter the purchase price and the number of shares. At the 
account level, it does calculate the correct value. It just seems to have 
issues getting passed up to the Investment account correctly.

You are correct, and that is the number that is wrong. The parent account 
_value_ is where the incorrect number is being displayed.
