Tony,

This is a known issue with most of the reports that look up prices in
the security price table.  There is a report option under the
commodities tab to choose the method of selecting the price to use in
the report.  For some reason, it seems that reports only work correctly
(for me) if the source is "Nearest in time" and there is a price in the
table for each security for the exact date of the report.  That seems
incredibly restrictive to me, but I have not tracked down what works and
what doesn't.
